Working on hard/new-game-plus mode: one-ups become 20-crystal power-ups and timer and enemies move faster. Right-side is hard, left is normal. #nesdev #gamedev

#GBAJAM 2018 – it’s time to create a GameBoy styled game! Although we are sure they wont mind real Game Boy entries as well 🙂 Get your fingers moving!

Tanglewood… finish line straight ahead?!

Friday update: The PCB manufacture might take a week longer than we anticipated, since PayPal got iffy about such a large transfer which delayed it slightly. Our Canadian Electronics Overlord assures us everything’s going to be fine, and we don’t question him, ever.

Progress with the PC and Linux versions are going swimmingly. Everything is mostly working and we’re concentrating on performance and a few audio improvements now. The Mac OSX version has had some teething issues, but we already know what the problem is and how to solve it.

Once we have a successful PC playthrough (on low-end hardware with no frame drops), we’ll start thinking about our achievements list, and get on with the save file feature.

The Collector’s Edition box sets are under way, we have a few designs ready and some quotes from the factory, just making some finishing touches and hopefully we can show one off soon.

We’re in talks with a few event organisers to bring Tanglewood around the UK leading up to release, we’ll let you know which ones we’ll be attending soon!

We get a mention or two in this month’s edition of Retro Gamer Magazine! Our lead developer talks to the mag about what’s it’s been like working on the system. It also comes with some free Mega Drive stickers, if that seals the deal for you.

Don’t forget our new demo is out! Have a play of our latest iteration of the first chapter, there’s a bunch of improvements from the last demo, from controls to physics to A.I. to clone system support and more!

We’re still tracking down an issue with the game on Japanese VA0 consoles using Everdrive models X5 and X7. No other systems or Everdrives seem to be affected so far, we’ll keep you posted on what we find and will issue updated ROMs for those playing on these machines.

Have a great weekend! Matt <3

Domarius Games choosed the fantasy console PICO-8 to do a demake of Alex Kidd. Alex Kidd in Pico World features all vehicles, the boat, the pedicopter and the bike! All 16 levels are there, although a bit smaller than the original ones. Also make sure to find the secret level!

Elektronite presents Jeff Minter‘s Hover Bovver for sale and ready to ship now! The object of the game is to take on the role of Englishman Gordon Bennett and score as many points as possible by mowing as many as 16 different lawns with his Air-Mo Lawn mower! As you guide Gordon Bennett on his mowing mission, try your best not to annoy your dog Rover or the gardener, and avoid your neighbour’s unwelcome attentions!

Upward is a minimalism PICO-8 puzzle platformer by Matthias Falk, made in only 5 days. The only thing you can do is jump – is that enough to climb a mountain?

Naturalchimie Classic is mago314‘s first finished PICO-8 game. It’s a mix between Match-3 and 2048. Three of each kind give one of the next. Will you reach gold?
