hopefully better health will let me actually get some hustle on in big 26.

Here's a fun memory saving I found.
The player sprite shares the block of VRAM used for the WINDOW table, but since she doesn't coexist with the pause menu, and the textbox only covers 1/3rd of the screen, there's a few hundred bytes free to use.

Giving NPC's the ability to talk seems to have unleashed all manor of havok on the rest of the game, previously event scripts ran at level-scope, but now everything can trigger one.
(first attempt at running the new code (gone wrong (why is the scrolling and sprite control broken?)))

I spent my holiday break implementing the first real mission structure for #Gilgamech and here is a preview of Mission 1-1 with a peak of 1-2 at the end.
Still need to add enemies... this is a lot of work!

If you're doing a temporal dither effect (1 frame off, 1 frame on, relying on screen/eye to blend), consider using 1px vertical lines and adding the camera x pos, so instead of (frame % 2) it's ((frame + camera.X) % 2), really helps with scrolling.
impossible to video demo, take my word for it.

still getting a bug where 50% of the time posting an image to this site results in a black rectangle, _very_ annoying, it's something webgl related.

I do technically have a master system/gamegear project on the boil but it's turning out to be a technical disaster and devkitSMS's banking functionality breaks by mental understanding of the C linker system so I was trying to squeeze it under 64kb (fail)

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!

The #homebrew project,
"G-Zero" by "gasega68k"
recently received an update
The original demo already served as an impressive tech showcase,
replicating the #SNES' iconic Mode-7 3D effect,
but on the #Sega #Genesis

It was a long road of learning and experimenting, but I have finally completed the first real boss for my #SegaGenesis and #MegaDrive game, #Gilgamech
There have been a lot of enhancements since my last video. Check it out!

Added an animation/sequencer system that temporarily hands the entire game state over to a script so it can go in and manipulate objects positions and states.
It's linked in with both the cutscene system and used for some game events, testing here with the player saved from falling into a hazard;
