Played this at GDC and loved it. I know this is going to sound like a weird comparison, but it kind of reminds me of Wattam.

Yes it felt early! The c++ syntax was actually quite sane back then! Haha

Obviously the GameBoy version of Tetris was written in machine code. :)

It’s quite surreal isn’t it! There is even more strangeness in the final game, something that isn’t shown in the demo :)

I just tried the limited-time demo for Dreams of Another and know that this game is likely to hit my Top 10 games of the year when it comes out next month. The dreamlike, alien tone of the game is conveyed so fast. It's compelling stuff!

Dreams of Another and PixelJunk Eden 2 will be out simultaneously on PS5 and Steam OCT. 10th - pre-order the bundle and you get to play them a few days earlier! We’ve never done a simultaneous launch before, it should be fun to see if we can pull it off.

yes there wasn't much to do so I was either outside throwing or kicking balls around, exploring the nearby woods and fields, or inside reading books and gleaning code from magazines, trying out stuff.

Shawshank Redemption too, I saw it on the side of the van in the trailer... well I mean Stephen King's "Maine" extended universe, kind of makes sense, everything seemed to be set up there :)

We are launching two games simultaneously on Oct 10th for PlayStation and Steam, our brand new title Dreams of Another (also psvr2) and our amped up 4k controls-remastered PixelJunk Eden 2, pre order the bundle on PSN and you can begin playing Oct 7th!

yes I enjoyed that video explaining it btw, basically it makes use of artifacts from the composite signal encoding hardware, very interesting. I also didn't know there was an undocumented CGA mode. The last time I played with CGA was around 1989 when working on Starglider 2 for PCs. :)

Dylan Makes Games @dylancuthbert.bsky.social · Jul 15

composite out so a bit of color bleed and dot crawl? doesn't really account for some of the scenes in that demo though

Dylan Makes Games @dylancuthbert.bsky.social · Jul 14

What the actual.. fk- someone explain how they are squeezing 256 colors out of CGA?

Olaf der Ripper 🔪🩸👻 @speckbrummsel.bsky.social · Jul 14

We did CGA wrong.

Amazing demo running on a stock 8088 XT.

wow I don't remember having that photo taken.. like at all.. looks like it was because I was half asleep at the time lol

Dylan Makes Games @dylancuthbert.bsky.social · Jul 8

fingers crossed!

Dylan Makes Games @dylancuthbert.bsky.social · Jul 8

not yet, but I might tidy them up/re-record them properly and put them on an album, these are like rough demo tapes right now, might be fun to do some proper practise and make them releasable
