I'm pretty close to finishing Act 3 of Silksong. One thing that struck me at this point is just how amazing the boss battles are. In the original, I never had the urge to re-fight any bosses. However, in Silksong, beating a boss feels incredibly satisfying and makes me want to battle them again.

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

It's now time for me to get out of my introvertedness with my interview with Zophar. It was a fun interview, so be sure to watch it!

Complete! The ZSNES creator interview runs > 90 minutes & is full of some very interesting conversation, including how to pronounce ZSNES, the idea behind the snow, the lead programmer's favorite video games of all time, and so much more! Wednesday, 10.22.25, 8:00PM Eastern. 👇

Finally finished Hollow Knight. Originally put it off a few years ago as the theme didn't click with me, but tried it again recently and loved it. Great gameplay, challenge, level design, and environments. Tons of little details and encounters that makes it feel extra special. Highly recommended!

Making some really good progress with my marble madness clone. Used a custom 2d physics engine with height displacement to get it working.

Going to attempt to reproduce gameplay of Marble Madness for Retro Endurance 8bit. Doing the physics in 2D space would be interesting. Always been amazed that they could implement this game with its physics on the NES of all consoles.

The thing I'm most excited about the Switch 2 is to see how far Nintendo can stretch that extra performance. Already starting to see it with the open world Mario Kart, so it's starting to look good. Still bummed with no new Mario, but hope to see it soon.

Retro Endurance Game #32 featuring a hungry caterpillar. A snake style clone, but less punishing as the game keeps going even if you eat your tail. The longer your tail, the higher the score of each fruit you eat.
