#sonic and #amy drawing i decided to finish, though i grew out of love with it. I actually drew a sketch of this for my friend's daughter. I decided to give it a full treatment for practice reasons. Hopefully, i can improve on my composition and coloring skills sooner than later.

jnmartin has been putting the finishing touches on his #StarFox 64 port to the Sega #Dreamcast! To hype up its upcoming release, here's a direct hardware capture of the intro scene!
Notice how crisp and sharp the textures look now? ...can you spot the blasphemous texture swap?🤣

Interesting pixel art for an upcoming Dreamcast game... seems oddly familiar...
I've been on the down low for a bit, but decided to start game dev again for the Sega Dreamcast. I'm currently working on a demo for the RPG Elysian Shadows, starting with pixel artwork. We'll see how it goes.

I've posted before about using my homemade Zero Tolerance link cable to connect two Sega Genesises for multiplayer, but for some reason I didn't think of linking my Nomad to a Genesis using the cable!
So I did that this weekend! This is such a cool idea and a fun for multiplayer!

If you ever wanna try to take the plunge and give DC homebrew a try, this is the ultimate "getting started" guide that everyone in the community uses: dreamcast.wiki/Getting_Star....
Then join the "Simulant" Discord server (link at the bottom of the KallistiOS GitHub repo), it's DCdev central.

Reproducing an old Sega trick with my fast math library for the #Dreamcast, which swizzles XYZW coordinates into WXYZ ordering to prevent a pipeline stall waiting for the W coordinate to get transformed, which we need first for perspective division.

It’s a tool being made by my good friend and team mate who led us on the GTA3/VC team for DC. He goes by skmp.
He took some of the core from his DC emulator and has been reverse engineering some of the disassembled official pipeline simulator tools from hitachi/renesas: sh4-sim.dreamcast.wiki
