Where's the Bluesky (bsky? bs? what do we like here?) retro gaming community at?!
We released our first independently published game using our custom emulation engine (Syrup) - Micro Mages! It's a fresh version of the original NES/Steam co-op platformer by @morphcat.bsky.social and it's on PS4 & 5!

Troisième jeu de la trilogie Jaleco récemment éditée par @brokestudio.bsky.social, Soldam est un puzzle game malin inédit sur NES. Bravo à toute l’équipe ainsi qu’à Florent Gorges pour avoir pris l’initiative de sortir ces jeux en physique. J’ai adoré faire les packaging pour ces jeux !

Ever heard of “homebrew” games?
Not hacks or cartmods, but real indie games for old consoles, made with passion.
This scene keeps growing, with new projects, devs, and players discovering that NES, GameBoy & more are still alive!
Here’s to keeping the flame alive☕️❤️
