Got my Multisystem 2 in the mail today from @heber-limited.bsky.social . I've been looking forward to the Multisystem 2 more than Switch 2, and so far it does not disappoint. I'm quite blown away by the form factor and it looks much better in person than I thought!

This week I've worked on the over world from where you enter levels. I've decoupled levels from entities which means I can have a lot of levels in a screen as they no longer take up entity space. What you see is one biome and the plan is to have several.

After a summer holiday break I'm back with #nesdev. Today I've added a charge punch that makes it possible to destroy bigger and harder blocks but could also be used for stronger enemies. I'm leaning towards the skill being an upgrade you don't have at the start.

I've added the ability to punch enemies and punch throw blocks. Effects are missing and animation is still work in progress, but it's quite promising. The idea is that it will also open up more ways to interact with the world beyond just destroying things.

I've been playing more with the water effect and added water physics as a test. It's tricky to get the timings right, so we'll see if the effect can be used for real. I'd also rather have the the ability to actually swim than simply run around slowly.

We now have moving platforms in the game added by @tedsteen.bsky.social. Quite a simple mechanic but can add a lot of variation and challenges to a level.

I got this record in the mail today. I've wanted to own it on vinyl for a long time and was shocked when I learned recently it was not considered a success upon its release. Among my friends in Sweden in 1998 it was definitely considered a great album!

Sometimes I find records at home I have no recollection of buying. In this case I don't even remember the band. Anyway, it's a pleasant surprise! I guess I should pay my record collection more visits in the future.

Saturday night fun. Making a fresh install of Workbench.

I've added collectible items. Instead of having it completely static I also added a spawner you need to follow which is time limited. I think it'll be a good fit for the game as it adds an optional challenge to a room in a very simple way.

I've added destructible blocks. It's a bit blend without effects and quite limited (SMB style), but it will be expanded upon in the future.
I've also added death and respawn if you hit an enemy. It makes it feel more like an actual game with a simple game loop.

I asked my partner if it's okay if I buy another microcomputer and she said, yes of course, if it makes you happy. At that moment I knew why I married her. (Not shown in the picture is three C64).

We now have dialogues and @tedsteen.bsky.social ported our script system from Data Man, which drives the dialogues!
It was tricky to make it not glitch and keep as many colours on screen as possible. I think only #nesdev people might really appreciate it. Felt like doing demo coding again!

This week we continued on platform controls and I added graphics for the main hub of the game which is an alien crashed spaceship you will help to repair! There is still a lot left with the basic platforming controls, such as adding acceleration, a nicer camera etc.
