#inkventure from #9ratones, @twoblackcats.jp, and @ratalaikagames.com is a wonderful puzzle platormer that is available for the #MegaDrive/#Genesis!

It's pretty much #DeBlob on #MegaDrive!

We are almost done with Solid-State Soldier levels!

We fixed some of the enemy AIs as well.

Soon we'll have to go back to documentation writing (T_T)...

We tested on Linux Mint. Is Zorin OS Ubuntu-based too?

We're trying to use Linux more x3, not a fan of all the Windows recall/AI stuff >.<!

What Linux distro are you using? Right now, we just need to replace the icon, managed to make deb and rpm packages as well as plain zips!

Next would be full linux export support :D

We're looking to get a Game Gear cartridge PCB designed!

If someone with cartridge PCB design experience is interested, please send us a DM!

This would be PAID work!

We finished the camera module sample!
It's based on @haxeflixel.bsky.social FlxCamera example.

It displays all basic options of the camera module!
Follow, lerp, offset, shake, and flash.

You can also set your own deadzone for better customization!

We added support to define animation speed per sprite, per animation, or frame!

We also added animation preview support.

Everything already works in-game as well!

I'd forgotten just how much of a banger the second OP of Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory is. 🔥

We finally finished the scroll debug overlay!

Now you can track the visible area of the game no matter your scroll setup, full screen, tile, or line!

We just have to add a button to turn it on/off haha.

We added three debugging planes you can enable on the layers tab.

They allow the display of triggers, sprite collision boxes, and temporary triggers.

It was a pain to debug the temporary triggers' position otherwise...
