The Retro League Podcast features discussion about the latest retro gaming news, re-releases, community developments and reviews of our favorite games.

This week:

This week light defines form and shapes our understanding of space. We also hit the road while trying to avoid cholera, starvation or drowning in a river. Our listeners have shared so many memories of Toys ‘R’ Us that we had to make a special segment of it, and people are making some outrageous demands for the characters to be in the next Smash Bros game. We’re repairing N64 memory cards and trying to learn the difference between aisles and isles in this episode of the Retro League.

The Assembly Line is a NES homebrew podcast started by Sole Goose Productions and Kevin. They cover a variety of theoretical topics, feature a central game under review, have guest interviews with folks, and also showcase some music.

In this episode, we did work to get the asset tool to output content for the NES. It’s counting the colors used by the images selected, generating a visible palette of 4 colors, warning if too many colors are used, and reducing the colors down to the 4-color palette. In the next episode, we’ll use this pre-work to export the data in a properly encoded NES tile format. We also showed how the data would be used in the schmup game by switching from hard-coded data to using .include and .incbin
