I'm not 100% sure what's happening with these sprites, but an idea is forming in my head. Currently it feels like I'm going to have to properly design some levels for this one, so if it takes a little longer, that'll be why. Tonight, I'll be attempting to figure out a nice way to randomise some levels, but if I can't figure something out, then it'll be properly done as-of tomorrow. In addition, I'm fairly sure I shouldn't call it "Lucy's Love Box", so expect th...

I haven't got much planned for this week's game, yet. I was first waiting to see if a Buffer Drawn Tilemap might be workable, but it seems that it's going to be a missing feature on 3DS.

Flappadiddle Doo - 3DS is now available as a complete 3DS .zip package, containing the .3dsx homebrew file, alongside a .cia file that can be installed directly into a hacked 3DS's frontend. Hopefully it works ok. If you do try it, be sure to let me know.

Over at GBATemp, user bobdamnit suggested that it'd be better if I release my 3DS games as .CIA files, so they can be installed on the main 3DS menu instead of just the Homebrew Launcher.

I should probably make this a regular thing, again. It's always fun to get a little back'n'forth going.

Recently, i saw a Choplifter game (Game Gear), on youtube and thought, with a bit of imagination,the rescuees looks like the platdude. So my idea is, if you like to make a Choplifter Clone or alike with platdude. At least something with Helicopter ? ^^;

It's been a long long time since I delved into the Mailbag, and having just peeked into it.. .. It's completely empty. So, I'm reopening the mailbag. If you've any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, game wishes, or .. Anything.. At all!! The Mailbag is Open

I'm fairly sure I can make a draw-buffer work on the 3DS, but it seems I have a limit of 256x256 pixels due to my ongoing memory issues. For the Desktop side of the Framework, I typically work with buffers of 1024x1024, so that's a 1/4 scaling thing from the get-go. On the 3DS Framework, sometimes it uses full sized PC images when they're small enough, whilst other times it refers to smaller 1/4 sized scaled down images. This is more or less the same issue on the buffer's side of thin...

After each game's release, my inbox is filled with the writings of all the people who bothered to play it. Let's see what @RSKGames thinks of this weeks game! You can Download Franken Hopper here.

Overview: In Franken Hopper you Hop and catch the flying creatures and avoid the blazing flames from the statues to the side and the fireballs from the big statue's eyes. The platforms help to climb higher to get creatures with more points(Lowest level 5 points, Mid level 2...

I don't normally post a game on a Saturday, but with all the things I had to remember to do, I figured it best to make an early start on this week's posting incase things got a little crazy!

Eating bugs, just for fun!

The new choon that appeared last night, Generous Justice, is the music for Franken-Hopper.

I've just noticed a really odd bug in my site, via the method of visiting another site! Over at Nintendo Max they've listed Flappadiddle as being from October 2017. "October 2017? It definitely isn't from then.. Where on earth have they got THAT date from?" .. I checked my own site, and... Oh.. The dates on the downloads in the Game Archive Downloads have been wrong since the site rewrite!!!

I tried to tackle the online-leaderboard component of my 3DS target, yesterday. It didn't go well at all!
