@pr4m0d This feels like the open source part of this is lost on a lot of people.

@ToddsNerdCave Do any of these optimizations make sense as patches to the x68000 version as well?

The first playthrough of 4 player capture the flag was such chaotic fun - but I need other players to play now - my wife said she had to stop playing for the rest of our safety.
Now For up to four players:

@PixelCNinja The least they can do is give you an affiliate link ;)

Yesterday I had a few test rooms built for a new N64 action-platformer - which has an optional co-op player. 10 minutes of playtesting and my 10yo was making up rules for routes to run and loop around before the co-op character caught up with him. So I went on a sidequest. #n64

@dark_coderz It depends - It depends on what languages are commonly used by the others who will maintain it. Millions of requests a second is just as achievable in Python and Java as it is Go or Rust.

@Pikointeractive You could say the rest of them … have gone the way of the Dodo.

@turboxray This is incredible! I can’t wait to play it.

I’m not a real Indie Developer - but I like to tinker and solve problems in my free time. I’ve since pivoted from porting this to the CPS3 (I don’t have the source audio and the mixdown won’t fit on CPS3’s 16MB of addressable audio)

[Grant McNaught @McNaughtdotdev]

I’m totally not biased -

But by implementing just enough gles and SDL2 ABI on the FPGA, this made a lot of games that rendered at 8fps reach 60: https://t.co/B7E9CbpX3H

@cqcqcqdx “Well, see the problem with that one was that the front fell off.”

@pixelgames A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met!

@CursedToastSDA @modretro This was the deciding factor on ordering an M64. I can’t wait to see more m64 open source goodness!

[Grant McNaught @McNaughtdotdev]

@TDL1337 I think this ignores how many games are held together with bubble gum and bailing twine.

[Grant McNaught @McNaughtdotdev]

@ComputerLove_ That’s got to be like.. 1 of 5 that still work.

[Grant McNaught @McNaughtdotdev]

I knew the concepts and the strategies that developers used on hardware with no FPU, and could see the system architecture - but even with ast-grep no-one’s got time for the amount of “find double precision math, now use fixed precision integer math, or LUTs”

[Grant McNaught @McNaughtdotdev]

While I wait to maybe someday get back into my @mcnut account…

I’m a person with too many hobbies:

I honestly would not have had time to do the massive amount of work to make spelunky playable on a Capcom CPS3 without the help of AI -

3D printing this started out seeming like a good idea - so many hours and filament to print a $7 organizer :)

[Grant McNaught @McNaughtdotdev]

@kayle_dev This looks great! Any plans to bring it to a retro console?
