I find the hardest part is getting a good rhythm and feel to the stage, that can take a lot of iteration. I can't even imagine what that looks like on Vectrex!
I'll have 7 stages, with each being 3-5 mins long roughly.

Thanks! Usually a few weeks depending on real life, that includes drawing the graphics for the stage and enemies too.

Every time I finish making a stage in Razing Core I replay the whole game up to the end of that stage.
I can honestly say this is the most fun I've had playtesting one of my own games so far. I hope everyone else will feel the same.

We were talking about this in the SMS Power discord only today, it looks fantastic, but extremely hard to find these days.

March 2025 marks the launch of Homebrew Factory, with NES support for developers.
This was followed by Game Boy/Color in June, then Mega Drive/Genesis last December.
2026 promises to be just as exciting, with more consoles coming to our platform ☺️

I'd love to do it but I was thinking how much it would delay the game to plan a trip before it's finished.
I'm still hoping to finish it this quarter but we'll see!

I'm not there either sadly. @lovelovepenguin.bsky.social (the musician on Razing Core) is there but not formally representing the game.
At this rate I'll still be working on the game by August 😅

In Razing Core there's a small period of invincibility when you collect anything, this allows you to be more aggressive or escape to safety. #homebrew #mastersystem

In 2025 I released two new SEGA Master System games and started work on another.
In 2026 my goal is to release another two for SMS and another unknown project.
Thanks for all your support this year!

For a similar reason I prefer not to support 6 button Mega Drive pads in my SMS games, it would change the experience.
With things like the display its a bit different as a lot of people play on flatscreens anyway even if they have a console.

The new screens look too crisp to me, but you're still using your GG so that's a win.

Yes, I feel that too. It's certainly good that it remains capable of playing GG games, but this is not restoration either.

As amazing as the technology is for these replacement parts (I also have a region switch on my SMS), the heavily upgraded Game Gear begins to resemble the Ship of Theseus (or Trigger's broom if you're in the UK). At which point you have to ask if it's still a Game Gear.
I gave this Game Gear an overdue upgrade. USB-C rechargeable batteries, clean audio board with stereo support, new shell, IPS screen, and HDMI output.

I was discussing in the SMS Power discord today starting a new GG project when I'm free. That's likely to be the closest I get to GG for now!
