I've made a little device that takes a 2 button #MSX joystick on one end and poops out a USB gamepad on the other side. There's an auto-fire option that can be (de)activated by holding down one of the fire buttons and rotating the stick a couple of times.

The year, 2025, has been a release-heavy year for OrangePixel, but since the year isn't over yet, why not squeeze out a few more games? THREE more releases coming to the modern @atari.com VCS this November read more here:

I'm looking for a few game dev colleagues to help me figure out if my project makes sense or if I should scrap it.
I've set up a Steam Playtest for the prototype: you'll get an activation key for a Steam-approved build.

So as off right now the Falconeer is 50% off to celebrate its release. And here's a #howitstarted shot by shot comparison of how the game evolved with the Remaster.
If you enjoyed the game, now is no better time than to leave a review on steam and support!

Out tomorrow!
First prototype was in July '24. I picked it up again in Dec '24. In Feb '25, I was testing on a model of Moo Moo Meadows to get the speed and controls right. By July, all tracks were done.
It's been 100% performance, polish, and ports since. #indiegamedev
