Tanglewood v2018.04.27 (WIP) (Genesis Game)

Quality tests for Tanglewood by Big Evil Corporation have come to an end?

Quote:

The last report received from our QA teams contained no crashes, progression blockers, or high priority issues – it’s just minor bugs and small tweaks from here on out! We can see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

We’ve started our closed beta scheme, currently restricted to crowdfunding backers only. Kickstarter backers should have a private update waiting, Megafounder backers who would like to take part should get in touch via email: matt@tanglewoodgame.com

Witchbeat (PICO-8 Game)

Witchbeat is a PICO-8 game by dragonxvi.

The illustrious Rhythm Witch Anemone Reawolf has a problem – her underground storeroom is in complete disarray and the Storemaster’s nowhere to be seen. Can you navigate a trap-filled dungeon, rescue the odd fairy and uncover the true mastermind behind all this chaos?!

Witchbeat fuses rhythm-game mechanics with good ol’ dungeon delving. Get close (but not too close!) to your enemy and attack in time with the beat. Solve puzzles, find keys, beat up blobs and generally faff about.

NES Programming #24 - Interrupting the interrupter

Quote:

In this episode I got the MMC3 IRQ working once I realized the I had to re-enable interrupts on the CPU. After that, we saw what happened as you mess with the nametables while scrolling and experimented with one solution to vertical scrolling and scanline counting. I need to some more research to see how other games do this. Thanks for watching and see you next stream!
