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.

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

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 😅

What a great gift! Thank you!

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.

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!
