Tomb Gator for NES by Christopher Addolorato got an update.

Notes:

V4 of Tomb Gator Progress.

Includes: Working Coin SFX, Fixed music errors, updated player bounding box, larger spikes so you know if you made the jump over it or not and level adjustments.

Right now I’m noticing the game over screen has a tan block in the HUD and my player just sitting there on the top. I tried the fixed disappear block with solids underneath, and the screen using gravity, but my player falls through the screen out of bounds, and it doesn’t fix the hud. I tried holding the R key on it, but that did nothing.

My next step is the boss fights, followed by an instruction/title/end screen

and If I can figure it out, a high score/last score system. I know Ellen Larsson did that with her game so its very doable. I messaged her on twitter and she did say, its a lot of code. I’ll basically make this the last thing I do, if she can help.

alekmaul remade the puzzle game Deflektor for the Sega Genesis / Sega Mega Drive. Read more about the game here on Wikipedia.

The player has to rotate mirrors to deflect a beam in order to destroy all the cells of each level. There are also other devices the player has to be careful not to touch with the beam for too much time because otherwise the system will overload.

Tomb Gator by Christopher Addolorato is yet another NES game in development using the fabulous NESmaker. Collect coins but don’t forget to jump too 😉

PSn00bSDK is an open-source PS1 SDK project that aims to be as close to the official SDK as possible.

PSn00bSDK is a 100% free and open source SDK for developing homebrew games and applications for the original Sony PlayStation. The SDK consists mainly of libraries and some tools for converting and building resources to be used on the console.

While PSn00bSDK is currently a work in progress the project aims to develop an SDK that is as close to the official Sony SDK as possiblein in terms of supported hardware features which include GPU, GTE, SPU, CD, MDEC and controller/memory card peripherals and a library API written to follow the official SDK’s API syntax. With extensive low-level technical documentation of the PSX readily available (such as nocash’s PSX specs) there should be no excuse to not have full support of the aforementioned hardware features.

The PSn00bSDK libraries are written mostly in MIPS assembly language with compiler generated code limited to small and moderately sized support functions for best possible performance and to keep the runtime library footprint as small as possible. Many of the library functions avoid using BIOS calls such as C string and memory manipulation functions and use pure assembly equivalents for improved performance for memory and string manipulation operations.

Relic Hunter is a NESmaker game currently being in development.

Current notes:

Some progress of Relic Hunter so far. I’d like to flesh out some of the stages some more, and it still needs some polish, but it’s a W.I.P.

Objective is pretty simple: collect all the gems and defeat at least one monster. There are energy powerups available to take them all down if you want the points, but you better not miss or you may not be able to reach further platforms!

And yes, those frogs really did kick my ass. I was going to make an excuse about me dying on purpose to show you the checkpoints work, but you deserve better than that. They owned me hard.

Matteusbeus presents an character update for Crypt of Dracula for the Sega Genesis / Sega Mega Drive.

Taco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System / Super Famicom currently gets a level selector.
