It's been a long time since I've had the energy and inspiration to do for the but the theme made me think of a melted candle. This turned out pretty well, I think. Due to the relatively subtle shading, no predefined palette this time

In 1994, our puzzle game Clockwiser was released for Amiga (OCS and AGA), CD32 console, MS-DOS and Windows 3.1.

@TheSpaceshipper Oh my word... I had no idea it was so large. (insert obligatory "that's what she said" joke here). But seriously, it always blows my mind to see such things. I know models were the primary way of filming things before everything went CGI, but I never really stopped to think about how that works in practice. It looked so good on screen that the suspension of disbelief is complete.

Had a lot of fun working on a 6502 emulator and expanding it into an NES emulator. My first output was completely messed up. Then I fixed a register bug and got something recognisable with wrong palettes and some tiles out of place. Then fixed a CPU opcode bug and got just wrong palettes. Finally fixed a missing shift and got what I'm supposed to.

Recognisably Donkey Kong, but some tiles are placed incorrectly. The palettes are also messed up for some of them. This was because my 6502 CPU emulation actually carried out an EOR (exclusive or) instead when it encountered an ORA (inclusive or) opcode.
All the tiles are in the right place now, but the palettes for some of the tiles are still messed up. If you analyse the problem carefully, you might notice that the problem gets worse, the further to the right you look.
Finally, all background tiles are being rendered correctly.

I'd love to watch the Barbie movie

I'd love to watch it in a movie theater near our place

I'd like to wear all neon pink clothes when watching the movie

I'd rather not go dressed like that by public transport and into the mall where the cinema is in fear of getting attacked by single minded, hateful people ๐Ÿ˜– ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

shdon,
@shdon@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@dec_hl Dang. I myself have no interest in the Barbie movie, or in wearing neon pink. But the only reason I'm not offering to join you in watching the movie dressed in pink is that I'm not in your area or even the same country. I hope you do get to go, in the way that you want to.
