Virtual Lab for Mega Drive plutiedev.com/blog/20251103

** Sword of the Apocalypse (S.O.T.A) Update ** Well I was just going to help @canaljogovelho and @MichelinFabio of studio Versao LTDA , find a programmer for their amazing new sega genesis game SOTA ... but somehow I became the new programmer lol. Seriously, Its been great helping this talented team to envisage their dream for SOTA. The artwork and level design have really impressed me. I've spent the last week getting the backgrounds of level 1 working in our rather flash new engine / streaming scroller. Why have limitations on how many tiles you can use on a level ? This streaming system allows nearly unlimited foreground detail and diversity. Infact the current level as you see it would not work with a static (load tileset once) scrolling system, it has more potential yet too (every screen can have new tiles). You can see this in the VRAM view on the RHS , you can see tiles been swapped in and out as needed. Once old tiles move off new tiles can take their place etc. The dialog box is messaging how many meta tiles are in use at any moment. We have multiple parallax splits occurring on the background and some nice sprites clouds also. Next we will work on player / enemy logic / background collisions and start getting the gameplay mechanics in. Work continues unrelenting on Lufthoheit at the same time and the learnings from one game will help the other game also. Some more scaling effects are coming amongst other good stuff. The streaming scroller for SOTA for example will be used in some levels on Lufthoheit also !! @Carsten1349 @laurent_crouzet @Mike_Rouse #SGDK #SegaMegadrive #SegaGenesis

The cherry blossoms at Sega HQ are currently in full bloom. セガ大崎本社前の桜が、見ごろを迎えています🌸 #桜 #cherryblossoms

We’re excited to introduce the next innovation in gaming… Cartridge Loadable Content! Lock-on technology was just the beginning. Insert a second, third, FOURTH cartridge to load new features like never before. Visit your local Blockbuster on April 1st, 1991 to check it out!

Finally found one way to add textures to the raycaster on Sega Megadrive but it's a bit messy so I'm looking for a better alternative (basically had to write a lossy tile compressor) but still fullscreen at 60fps #SGDK (textures from LAB at opengameart.org/content/lab-…)

Here are some Sonic & Tails 2 (Sonic Triple Trouble) features from Famicom Tsūshin issues 294 and 304. The former has a contest to name the new baddie and the latter announces the winning name: Fang the Sniper. There were two (!) contest winners.

Decided to redesign some elements of the game, got rid of some clunky mechanics, and felt it needed more character so added a guy #homebrew #mastersystem #sega

Rough Game 'SEGASonic Bros.' Arcade (Cancelled)

Just like I mentioned yesterday, we're excited to drop a new Earthion video here. You'll spot a lot of new stuff and scenes we've added in. Plus, there's a fresh track unveiled. And absolutely, everything you see and hear is straight from an actual Megadrive.

Color palette tricks for light and dark effects on the main character. Flashing out some basic stealth elements here. Normally this is achieved with shadow and highlight mode on the megadrive. #megadrive #gamedev

Irena's level 5 is now fully operational, and I'm delighted with the result! The boss of the first stage is formidable, offering a real challenge for players before reaching the second stage. Are you up for the challenge? 💥 #irena #megadrive #segagenesis #メガドライブ #shmup
