Here is my new Amiga 500 game called "Popspin". 40kb. PreTracker 2.0. youtube.com/watch?v=NGG_Pa…

@leonard_coder @revision_party Looking forward to it! Will certainly win. Btw, I made good use of your L-Packer by using it for my Revision game compo entry called Popspin. Thanks for releasing it.

This year, Oxygene is releasing its first 64KiB Amiga intro at the great @revision_party! We hope you’ll enjoy it! (Competition starts on April 4 at around 10 PM.) 2026.revision-party.net #demoscene #amiga

@pixel_plop @Indie_RetroNEWS @NorwichAmigaGrp And nice you gave credits to Bartman for Amiga C debug.

@pixel_plop @Indie_RetroNEWS @NorwichAmigaGrp Great! Supersmooth and lots of ideas! Very nice vector animations. Funny voice sfx. Doesn't feel like an amiga game (in a good way). Audio isnt my cup of tea :)

Echodrome is my new Amiga game made for #AmiGameJam2025. The game took 6 months to make and runs on OCS/ECS Amigas with 1Mb (512k chip) or better. The game has 9 unique levels and a boss fight. pixelplop.itch.io/echodrome-amig… @Indie_RetroNEWS @NorwichAmigaGrp

@greayson2532 Great version and great music! Tinyus for Amiga 500 may be even closer, as it doesnt have the extra vertical scroll the PC Engine added to have the status bar.

Gradius from #PCEngine It has every right to be the most faithful version to the arcade original. It's sensational. #retrogames #Shumps

@SheriefFYI Just personal experience. My messages also work two way. Receivers can add info to them. The msg are always send directly. So after postMsg the sender can inspect returned results. Good for decoupling. For debugging you can search sourcecode who listens to a certain msg type.

@Pink__aBYSs that's really good, any more reading about that kind of design out there?

how do people debug game logic in ways other than using lots and lots of printf() logging and debug draw gizmos?

@RojiLindo Great vibe!

Wahoo! Happy MAR10 Day to everyone :) #MAR10Day #SuperMario #Nintendo #pixelart

@djyt Perfect! I did very much the same for Gradius->Tinyus. Hard part was to get it down then to 3 voices on OCS, but as you target AGA you have more freedom... Looking forward for the final game!

@scenecracktros Good music choice :)

@SoftEngineer @gdechichi Looks good! In my case anything beyond 2 bounces does not offer real visual benefit. Do you get benefits with 7 bounces?

@gdechichi About a minute I think. It's 60k probes in total, 7 bounces per sample and 32k samples per probe.

@MuseumCommodore Perhaps Martin Galway. He was so good that he didnt even use drums in his tracks... Ultimate genius :)

Who is the GREATEST Commodore 64 musician? Time to settle this classic debate with a poll! 🎶🔊 The SID chip legends are all incredible, but here are the top contenders: Rob Hubbard – The undisputed pioneer. His epic, rock-inspired anthems defined C64 music: Monty on the Run, Sanxion, Commando. Complex melodies squeezed into tiny limits—pure genius. Martin Galway – Master of innovation. Sampled drums, lush layers, and cinematic vibes: Arkanoid, Parallax, Comic Bakery, Wizball, Ocean loaders. Instant nostalgia. Chris Hülsbeck - Sweeping symphonies: R-Type, The Great Giana Sisters, Katakis. Turrican pure mastery. Ben Daglish – Catchy, fun, technically brilliant. Iconic hooks for Gremlin & US Gold: The Last Ninja series, Avenger, Auf Wiedersehen Monty. Always sticks in your head! Vote in the poll below! Who's YOUR #1 SID hero? #Commodore64

@UridiumAuthor @73v3 I think it would already help a lot putting the ship on the sides instead of the middle. Also it would feel more fair letting enemies dodge barries instead flying through.

@73v3 If we want more look-ahead, then the Manta will need to be smaller on screen, and therefore slower. If we go wide-screen, we will lose a bit at top and bottom, since there`s no border these days. I agree about the background complexity. Now we have even more pixels!

So if, hypothetically, I was going to create a New Uridium, what would I have to change to please everyone, and how might we achieve that? Make it easier, put training wheels on the Manta? Slow it down? Remove the meanies? Fly over a flat surface? Is it still Uridium?

@UridiumAuthor "Slowridium" Keep the core game but let the player build up Slowridium energy. When pressing its button slowndown gameplay. - keeps the fun in fast flying - makes you feel empowered - easy to understand, yet deep gameplay

@dantemendes Almost forgot about that game. One of my first... Currently finishing a new Amiga 40kb game called "Popspin". Perhaps release next week.

RISE OF THE RABBITS 2 for the Amiga (by Pink^Abyss, 1998) 🎧🔊This cute game is only 32KB in size, made for the 32KB game competition at Mekka & Symposium 1998. A profile pic may use more memory! Author also did the nice port of GRADIUS to the Amiga (as "Tinyus"). #AmigaReposts

@NickChapmn @KostasAAA I had the same question in my mind.

@KostasAAA Very cool. I suppose this hash approach could be used for SSAO as well?

Did a quick and dirty implementation of a spatial hash structure to speedup RTAO, ray results are stored in cells indexed by pos/normal/cell size and after storing a few rays occlusion can be queried from the cell instead of raytracing it. 3x faster RTAO with no denoising.

@guitio2002 Great blog post!

New blog post! Behind the scenes of some of the techniques involved in making our last PC demo 💫 gboisse.github.io/posts/this-is-…

I LOVE this game and the team have done an amazing job. This isn’t a simple upres, been playing it all morning - I really hope we get a sequel as well. @ShinenGames ❤️❤️❤️

I'm not often recommending a download only game... but this... THIS IS A MUST HAVE! You can't go wrong with @ShinenGames
