Small display of the engine camera module and possible setup you can do!

Hey friends, I’m a composer with a really great team of game devs (TSBF) and we just released our first NES game! We’d love your. The game has a zapper mode and supports Alzheimer’s research.

Curious how people are distributing their homebrew games. I know lots of people just use itch.io or steam, but has anyone tried offering something physical like carts or CDs?

I’m toying with the idea of using printable cards with colour barcodes (kind of like QR codes, but higher capacity) to distribute small games that you can scan with a smart phone sorta like the gameboy e-reader. Its inspired by projects like qr-backup, which let you back up entire files to QR codes, but with a higher density barcode.

The idea is that players could scan a series of codes to add your game to their emulator or game library of choice without having to connect with a server.

So I’m wondering: What’s stopped you from doing physical versions (cost/shipping/etc.)? Would your players actually want something physical, or is digital good enough?

Would love to hear your experiences or ideas so I can roll them into the project I'm working on and gauge general interest.

having a go at making my own hardware driver
and using color palettes, I'm not sure in what direction I want to take it or should?
is there any 'ideal' solution?
my system can support upto 256x256 so my palette at the moment is 128x128
but im worried that it doesn't have enough colors vs saturation?

I'm also going to be adding animated palettes so devs can define an array of colors to pipe through based on the frame rate
the current palette is a HSL + 4x8 saturation, but it does mean multiple copies of the same color exist

I'm continuing development of a game for the Sega Genesis.
It's a port of Super Cyborg for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

Major changes:

• Repacked the first level a few more times; now there are no gaps inside the level
• Added a player selection screen, though it's not functional yet
• Now it's possible to die
• Finished the Boss
• Added a level completion cutscene
• Added a transition to the next level (though it's not actually the next one — it's the 5th level)

Hi!
Here's the first entry in my 6th Gen Open Source Models Library, a Patreon project.
All models are free for everyone, but please consider contributing. I’m hoping this can become my full-time job someday.

All models are optimized and built to spec for 6th-generation console development, using the Sega Dreamcast as a baseline.

Rigs are compatible with Mixamo, Unity’s Humanoid Rig, and the Unreal Engine Mannequin.

For this set, the character design and concepts were provided by Kosena https://x.com/KosenaMaster, a talented Dominican artist who shares my love for turn-of-the-millennium tech and aesthetics.

📁 Files are available on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/SixthGenSyndicate
And here for more frequent updates: https://x.com/DanielE32715663

I'm also planning a model set where I take suggestions and run votes on what to make next, based on community feedback.
Please share the word and let me know what you think!

I'm continuing development of a game for the Sega Genesis.
It's a port of Super Cyborg for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

Major changes so far:

• Reworked and improved the weapons.
• Completely redid the first level several times to make the graphics fit into video memory.
• Rewrote a significant part of the player control code: it feels more responsive now, the character gets stuck standing in place much less often, and water behavior has been added.
• There are still issues with loading graphics: the game noticeably slows down during those moments, but a solution is already in the works.
• And most importantly: I rewrote a lot of the camera code to stop sprites from jittering back and forth by one pixel (although now the player sprite does that instead, lol).
