When Digital Foundry went independent, one of the new things we wanted to do was a brand-new retro podcast. Thanks to the massive efforts of John and his friends, the DF Retro Super Show goes live today, revisiting the launch of PlayStation 2. youtu.be/DqtLH0MOkgI

There's a lot, a LOT, of #gameDev that's numbers and sheets. If you're ignoring sheets as an assist or a buddy you're only hurting yourself.

I had this little ditty looping in my mind while drawing my recent fan art piece, so I decided to make a quick 8-bit rendition of it today for the Game Boy! 🎵
Maybe this is what a Star Fox game on Game Boy would have sounded like! ⭐🦊

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.
I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.
I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

This is 'Genesys - Music from the Megadrvie' - made to evoke a long abandoned #Megadrive game soundtrack.
Tracks were made with a #Liven MegaSynthesis synth, or using Plogue's MD VST, to be as authentic as poss.

I've heard voice actors talk about this, but I think it's true of any work.
Working for free on fan stuff is fine & fun. But don't work for free on pro stuff. Don't offer to work for nothing. It sends the message that you don't value yourself enough, & your work on official products are worthless.

Just lost a happy hour playing Cave Dave this morning. It's still my very best Game Boy game I think. If you're into Retro Games like me the levels are such fun to unlock. Megadrive is my fav !:) #screenshotsaturday
