Atari Chat / Dragon Chalice for the Atari 2600
June 26, 2023, 15:34:09 PM
I made a 2 player co-op top down adventure called Dragon Chalice for the Atari 2600.

There are 256 game variations per difficulty mode (A/B). Each game variation has 4 8x8 screen kingdoms.  NTSC and PAL60 is supported on the same cartridge.

Releasing the Game Panic 3 / BLT Blast all original homebrew 2600 cart at CORGS this year.  Until I hear otherwise this is the second ever homebrew double ender.  Although new double enders with reproduction games have been around.

BLT Blast is a tiny shooter that encourages risk by making you taller as the bonus goes up.
ROM here: https://theloon.itch.io/blt-blast

Game Panic 3 is a Game & Watch / LCD game-esque cart collecting game spanning 16 unique floors
ZeroPage Homebrew showcased it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNjowHGMyAk&t=4375s

Going price is $55 USD at the show.  Includes developer autographed two page manual, sticker and universal game case with custom insert.

Been shopping this idea around.  Would anyone be interested in 2nd Generation /pre NES style games on the sega genesis?

Meaning:
* Gameplay over consuming content
* Game variations and endless stages over static levels
* Focus on unique, simple style over dazzling sound and graphics

We already have 80meg Paprium and a back catalogue from Treasure, Konami, etc.. is there any interest in something different?

Just created an all original homebrew dual sided cart for the Atari 2600!

Balloon Girl is a side-scrolling action game that only uses one button.  Should be accessibility controller friendly.  Mostly did it for the challenge of making a fun one button game.

Sharkstorm is my developer release of Twist R Shark published by Neo Games.  It's a top down boss rush game.  The boss characteristics change wave after wave.

Homebrew Chat / New Atari 2600 Homebrew: Upp Plus Plus
February 01, 2021, 00:35:56 AM
Had to change a few things in Upp due to improvements in Stella.  Ended up with so many improvements it's really a new, exciting iteration!

Improvements include:
* 32 new hand crafted levels
* Optional Genesis C button support
* Player ships stack making 3 lives more risky due to taller hitbox

Available as a digital download pay-as-you-want at Itch io

Hey!  I make games that need to run consistently on original, clone and emulation based systems.

Is there a way to calculate an appropriate player speed that looks about the same regardless of genesis variant?

I've tried fumbling with counters during the main loop and vblank but never got results.
