All 3DS games have been recompiled, today, so they all now feature the most recent version of the framework, and are bundled into cia/3dsx packages. Roland Eats a Stale Biscuit now has working music, On a Space Shooting Trail lets you fly further into deep space, and a couple of other minor fixes have been made along the way. Enjoy, hacky folk!

You've probably not noticed, but the "Donate" button that was on the far right of the main menu has changed back into a "Patreon" button. Last year, after the whole "Charging Patreons extra" business, I mostly abandoned the thing, removed all the links, and said "Sorry guys, no point in this" to the 3 Patreon subscribers. They've stuck with me, though, and so I figured it was probably about time I started to give back a little something extra. Today I've p...

Can I get an entire game up and running in just a short couple of days? Only one way to find out!!

I'm still jumping between two projects, but neither one feels good and gamey. I think I'm going to scrap this week, and just restart something entirely different, instead. Bah, humbug.

I can't seem to get anywhere on this weeks game, as my mind is leaping between two different ideas.

This morning's a newsletter day, so that all needs doing first, but then I'll be heading into the game and trying to figure out exactly what style it's going to take. I'm fairly sure I can get some kind of gameplay working for this week's game, but it'll be a case of finding the right balance between what the level generator can come up with, and the way the player controls.

I'm not 100% sure what's happening with these sprites, but an idea is forming in my head. Currently it feels like I'm going to have to properly design some levels for this one, so if it takes a little longer, that'll be why. Tonight, I'll be attempting to figure out a nice way to randomise some levels, but if I can't figure something out, then it'll be properly done as-of tomorrow. In addition, I'm fairly sure I shouldn't call it "Lucy's Love Box", so expect th...

I haven't got much planned for this week's game, yet. I was first waiting to see if a Buffer Drawn Tilemap might be workable, but it seems that it's going to be a missing feature on 3DS.

Flappadiddle Doo - 3DS is now available as a complete 3DS .zip package, containing the .3dsx homebrew file, alongside a .cia file that can be installed directly into a hacked 3DS's frontend. Hopefully it works ok. If you do try it, be sure to let me know.

Over at GBATemp, user bobdamnit suggested that it'd be better if I release my 3DS games as .CIA files, so they can be installed on the main 3DS menu instead of just the Homebrew Launcher.

I should probably make this a regular thing, again. It's always fun to get a little back'n'forth going.

Recently, i saw a Choplifter game (Game Gear), on youtube and thought, with a bit of imagination,the rescuees looks like the platdude. So my idea is, if you like to make a Choplifter Clone or alike with platdude. At least something with Helicopter ? ^^;
