Today I'm happy to announce that I decided to release the full source code of the SNES game "Sure Instinct". github.com/BenjaminSchult… The project is not maintained anymore, but feel free to use it to create own maps, for learning or to even create a full version of the game.

@Kannagichan2 In the past I had some troubles using Tiled because the game engine has a lot of special use cases I couldn't directly recreate in Tiled without using workarounds. Also I'd like to have a one-in-all solution 😂

@bennysnesdev Why not use Tiled?

Map editing was too difficult, so I decided to rewrite my map build process and the editor. (which takes time, so I don't post that much) Until now all tiles had many logic options linked, now I'm splitting the graphic and logic apart in the editor (not in the game) (WIP Video)

I finished my preparations for the #retroboersesaar (Saarland, Germany) tomorrow. You can meet me at my booth :) First time having my own booth at an event. #retrosaar Learn more about the event here: retrosaar.de

@fnorzz @ZXDev2015 Depending on the overall feedback. :) But I'm actually working with a friend on a simple cartridge PCB.

@ZXDev2015 @bennysnesdev +1

I'm planing to visit the #retrosaar (Germany) on 9th of October to present my #snes game. Designed some fake packaging for #sureinstinct as decoration for the table. 🏀🎮😃 #snesdev #indiegame

Currently adding special debug features to my #bsnes fork that are specific to my engine. Lastly I added a feature to find access to invalid memory which already helped me to solve some minor bugs. These features will also help me to improve my #jrpg #snes engine. 🪲🐞🔫

I wrote a small ROM to make my music editor and the #SNES music playback mostly accurate. The music editor now plays nearly exactly like the SNES itself. I also fixed the ingame song of #sureinstinct, which was mostly playing in the wrong octave: bennysnesdev.itch.io/sure-instinct

Thought about what my next steps should be. Came up with: 1. Improve sound quality (thanks for help @Goldlocke7) 2. Write tool to debug multi-threading memory access 3. Migrate new features from #SureInstinct to my game engine 4. Make plans for further #JRPG development

Did you already find some shortcuts? There is actually a shortcut for each stage (except for the tutorial) to solve the level very fast. #sureinstinct

A screenshot of my very first prototype of Sure Instinct back in June. Thanks to some customizations of the #bsnes emulator I'm able to print debug messages and add breakpoints from code. ⚽️ #snesdev #snes #sureinstinct

@slembcke @BushytailSkwirl Thank you! I guess that's the curse of all developers. Thousands of projects that never finished haha xD Thanks to the game jam I was able to finish at least one project :D

My game "Sure Instinct" has just been released for #snes (for #SNESdev game jam)! Steer a ball through challenging stages, switch perspectives and find the correct path to reach to goal. You can play with mouse or gamepad! >>> bennysnesdev.itch.io/sure-instinct <<< #indiedev #videogame

@trauma_fox @nobuyukinyuu I know it! I tried developing a level editor for it when I was younger. I wonder if I manage to find it somewhere on my old backup CDs? :D

@bennysnesdev @nobuyukinyuu Spent a lot of time playing a Rock n Roll clone on DOS called Rollin. Definitely checking this out.

@PauerPixel Thank you so much! Yeah. Rock 'n Roll was my absolute favorite game back then. I actually played it a few months ago again :D

@bennysnesdev Fantastic! Looks like Rock 'n Roll! Loved it on PC back then. Gonna play Sure Instinct on my MiSTer!

@nobuyukinyuu Thank you! Yes one of my absolute favorite games back then was Rock'n Roll for Amiga and I always said to myself, that one day I'd like to create a game similar to it :)

@bennysnesdev I could've sworn I seen [popular streamer] play a demo of this, but then again maybe this game is heavily inspired by some old Amiga thing and I'm having a deja vu moment. Regardless, it looks fun as heck!

@Goldlocke7 Today I played your game till the end. I love the atmosphere and gameplay. Just the exploding blocks in the volcano world were a bit too tough for me at first 😂 But it's good to have a challenge close to the end so it's perfect! Thank you for your wonderful game! 👏🥳🎉

At last, it's within reach! Can you get the legendary Edelweiß flower, too? Play the new SNES game "Dottie dreads nought" and find out! goldlocke.itch.io/dottie-dreads-…

Tomorrow evening I'll publish my game "Sure Instinct" for the #snesdev game jam after three busy months! It's an action-puzzle game for #snes. I'm really happy with the result 😃... Even though I was too busy with work for proper testing lately! >_< #sureinstinct #indiedev

@Goldlocke7 @ninomiyayuji Looks very great! I really like the graphics. Nice colors and effects! I'm gonna try to play it on my console soon! Great job!

I've just published the ROM of "Dottie dreads nought", an entry to the SNESDEV Game Jam 2021! goldlocke.itch.io/dottie-dreads-… Also, I'm honoured to announce that the game features music by @ninomiyayuji of Nekotako fame! Please listen to his works here: youtube.com/c/NinomiyaYuji… Enjoy!
