D'oh! Well, I did say that Franken-Hopper was a little bit *too* difficult. .. Now it's the exact opposite. Needs more death, now. Today's been a weird day, code-wise!!

I've found a number of minor issues with Micro Clampett, like how I'd forgotten to add the Music Volume setting to the Music Channel. D'oh! My mind seems to be enjoying doing all these little fixes a lot more than working on actual games, at the moment, so I'm just going to keep doing that until I get bored!!! We'll hold off Franken-Hopper until next week, and hopefully I'll come up with a more interesting gameplay style for it. At the minute he can definitely hop, but then he ...

1. Finish off the Franken-Jumper game. 2. Rewrite my giant Array declarations. .. Oh, and then double check that the new stuff works on all targets.

After spending hours retweaking the 3DS part of the framework, I'm now mostly confident that everything's a little more compatible.

I sat around waiting for feedback from the GBATemp community, in the hope that I might be able to fix up any potential issues with my 3DS Framework. Nothing arrived. I've left it there for 3 days, and... Nothing... So, here's release #2. Micro Clampett on the 3DS. (YouTube) You can Download Micro Clampett here.

After extensive testing, it seems the Ogg playing is more or less functional. I still need to tweak it for different Choons. Flappadiddle-Doo's struggling when it comes to switching levels. But other than that it's pretty much working as expected.

Today has been one hell of a long haul.

My plan for this week was mostly to fix all the issues that people had with the first test release on 3DS.

Today I was reminded of the classic Amiga puzzler "Pushover".

After each week's release, I'm literally bombarded by player's thoughts and comments. Let's take a look at what RSKGames thinks of this week's game. You can Download Bungee Stars here.

@RSKGames

Not much was revealed about this week's game "Bungee Stars", so it was a pleasant surprise to play this fun little game.

Over the next few days, I hope to fix up a few of the flaws in the 3DS Framework, but otherwise I'm fairly happy with the way it's worked out. Having said that, there's been absolutely no feedback whatsoever over the past few hours, so I have no idea if it's working for others or not. Ho hum..

I promised over on the GBAtemp forum that today would be the day for the first 3DS Homebrew test release, with or without working music. Unfortunately, it's without working music 39)( But it does contain biscuits, so that's ok! If you head over to the Roland Eats a Stale Biscuit page, you'll find a lovely little .3dsx download button. Mmmm..

Dive for the Stars

Here's how yesterday went. 1. Create the logo, do the screenshots, prepare the assets. 2. Compile the Windows version. 3. Test the 3DS edition. 4. Tweak the 3DS edition. 5. More 3DS tweaking. ... 2184. Extra 3DS tweaking. 2185. Realise there's no time to post the actual game.

Today *should* be about finishing things off, on this week's game.

Well, that kinda works..

Whilst trying to help rearrange the shed, the past few days have been rather lacklustre in the coding department.

Getting some really unexpected number issues that I'm fairly sure I shouldn't be having!

@RSKgames asks "Why not take the plunge into the Switch Devkit."

Looks like the Switch's Homebrew doors are currently being blown wide open.

Tonight I started a new project. #559 - Topsplodings And that's as far as I got.

I've now tried a multitude of different methods to get Audio working on my 3DS Homebrew Framework, but so far absolutely nothing seems to be working.

After each game's release, I get a huge influx of opinions and thoughts from a variety of different people. Let's look at RSKGame's thoughts for this week's game! You can Download Micro Clampett here.

@RSKGames

I remember playing Mini Clampett last year. It is a very addictive game and as it was the first game to get the online scoreboard feature, lot of competition was there to get the highscores. I tried the hard mode today and got nowhere near top 5 highscores, the huge...

My adventures into 3DS Audio are looking a little bit closer.
