We have been making some progress with slopes!

Drawing and exporting are finished!

Next would be actual collisions (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

We finally finished integrating the collision gridding system into MD Engine!

It was designed by the awesome @shannonbirt.bsky.social!

It helps boost performance tremendously for our current shooter examples!

It is also highly configurable!

We've released the very first AppImage done with MD Engine, it is for Prisonela MD!

If anyone has Linux we would love any possible feedback!

We've finished the Linux support! You can export as a simple binary or as AppImage now!

We're considering support .deb files as well, but we're not sure if it would be worth it...

We've been working on the Linux native export!

We're almost done integrating everything into MD Engine to allow exporting native Linux versions of the games!

(　･ω･)☞ Tested on Kubuntu & Mint so far!

We finally finished the last text mode we wanted to do!

It loads a few of the extended ASCII characters into the VDP to be able to draw most EFIGS language words!

We finally managed to get back working normally after most of the team was sick during January!

(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

We've been working on a new text mode to render EFIGS languages!

Hopefully we will finish it today!

"WoodFrog" just shared some new gameplay for their upcoming #homebrew game

"Till & Hat"

A hectic, action platformer for the #SNES, packing some pretty great effects, all without any apparent framedrops

I don't have much to show *yet* but I've recently been playing around with MDEngine and it's all I can think about at the moment.

Incredibly excited for this project @twoblackcats.jp

If you ever thought "man I wish there was GB studio but for the genesis/mega drive" YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED

It's taking everything within me to not just dump the GB/GBC version of Origin of Skies to work on a full-fledged Genesis version lol

This looks very impressive. I've never been interested in Megadrive dev, but this could change that.
