After lots of struggling with challenges that modern software development never has, it finally looks like a game. I never knew counting cycles is that important.

Most of the parts are placeholders. But after several nights struggling, I finally can render everything and shoot a bullet on #Atari2600. All coded in assembly!

Why is it so bizarre to position a sprite?!

Designing game for #Atari2600 is really hard, so limited.
I don't think #bataribasic is enough for my game idea.
I probably need to try it with ... Assembly.
Oh god.

I think it's doable!
It's doable, right?

This game level's deadline was supposedly Mid Autumn Festival. But then I got hooked to Open TTD. So just little progress. #devlog #indiedev #gamedev

Some progress I would say. An internal deadline for this game level would be Mid Autumn Festivial.

Got some inspiration. Working on a new game level background design. Hope I can finish it before Mid Autumn Festival.

盧亭魚人 is a Hong Kong exclusive merfolk in folklore. The usual translation is "Lo Ting", but I plan to translate it as "Loutling" in my game. There will be several variants.

This is a copy of Dutch artist Janne Schimmel’s artwork “Lung Fu Shan Hike.” I had originally planned to hike to the exact spot for a photo, but I’ve kept missing days with good weather.

Fun issue. My game is about fighting on a speeding train. If I leave my game running for >1 hour, the floating point limit will cause problems. But my game only expect 4 minutes game time per stage, so not sure if i should fix this.

With my sphere bullet system and straight line bullet system, I created a new bullet system ... Fish ball bullet system.

"If you can't beat them, join them."
That's why I added an AI Piss Tint Filter to pretend AI Art. If this doesn't work, I will make my character chop glass fruit.

Yes that’s an amazing game. It would say it’s immersive.

Long time ago, in the legacy internet, website content and ads lived in harmony. Ads were just gif silently supporting the websites. But then, the pop-up ad was born. And now we are all stuck in the eternal war between ads and ad-blocks.
