Let's drop a podcast on a Sunday. The Shmup Talk Show #7 with @carina.delachancla.com #shmup #stg www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-nc...

Hey shmup buddies, the official fuzz review is in: "This is very good" Definitely worth the dollar. PCE styleee. But on a master system. @beardedsonofnel.bsky.social @scowsh.bsky.social @syrotuck.bsky.social

Today is #bandcampfriday! Please check out the razing core ost if you haven't, its some of my best work!

Thanks for the review Rob! I'm glad you liked the game.

Just grabbed Razing core by @badcomputer.bsky.social Awesome shmup for the SMS! I am completely blown away by what indie devs have squeezed out of the Master System.

Got one of these yesterday. I grew up with a Sega Saturn and never got into PS1 emulation that much so a lot of things to discover. There's also all the other cores to play with since it's basically a MiSTer too.

Razing core is a fast-paced vertical shooter that will challenge even the most hardened 8-bit pilots, and it does so with virtually no slowdown or flicker. It shows what the Master System can do and should definitely be on the radar of any shmup fans. www.sega-16.com/2026/09/razi...

Hey all, new video up! It's more Master System today with a review of Bad Computer's Razing Core! Is this vertical shooter, which looks to be inspired by Aleste / Power Strike a worthy modern update to the formula? Check out my review for the answer! Link: youtu.be/a6O_G5IRHgY #sega #sms #8bit

I was certain I had Gley Lancer in storage somewhere but I couldn't find it. But I still found lots of old friends instead 🫡

Made a new game for the SNES!!! A block based action-puzzle game with - 4 game modes - 4 visual styles - 4 music tracks [or no music, but I WILL be disappointed] Link here if you want to give it a go :D crispulent-crisps.itch.io/blokit

In the next version of the itch app you can... make your itch games show up in Steam 😅. This has been a long outstanding request that should make it easier to play your itch games without having to change apps on Steam Deck or Big Picture mode

@armixer24 just released the *final* version of Tetris4GG for the #SEGA #GameGear 🤩 ... and also released an amazing version of the same game for the #SEGA #MasterSystem! 😍 Download for free here: https://www.smspower.org/Homebrew/Tetris4GG-GG and […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

We now have a working attract mode of various stages! There will be a permanent recording of me (deliberately) playing badly to enjoy in the game. Not many things left to do now before testing 🫡 #mastersystem #homebrew

For SEGA Master System: Wonder Boy III Dragon's Trap (platformer RPG) Power Strike II (shoot 'em up) Phantasy Star (RPG) Penguin Land (puzzle-ish) Hang On (racing) Good games across several genres with a strong SMS flavour. 🤝

Play testing is going well, no bugs so far and some great suggestions from the players 🫡 No exact date of release for the digital version yet, but the final version is approaching. #mastersystem #homebrew

July's / August Drops is on! youtu.be/3VjYp-BQMTk @fromlefcourt.bsky.social @funkycan.bsky.social @flynnsarcade.bsky.social @eastasiasoft.bsky.social

Remember, unless you opt-out, I now assume agreement that the Sega Master System is Histtory’s Greatest Console. To opt-out simply 🧵(1/2)

Today I finished my first full play through without adding anything new to the TODO list! Actions for today are to add an "attract" mode and finish some ending artwork.

I'm still working on the final touches to Razing Core before testing. Today I added support for Mega Drive/Genesis controllers, including alt-fire (you can use A/B or B/C for 1/2, and also X/Y/Z for bombing) and Start button for pause! #mastersystem #homebrew

I spent quite a long time on the beaches and waves in Thunder Helix. I think they turned out rather well. 🚁 🌊 #gamedev #lowpoly #pixelart store.steampowered.com/app/1906230/...

Here's my very first game for the SEGA Master System, Hexapawn. It was entirely develoed by me in C using devkitSMS. I learned a lot while doing it and I hope to do some more games in the near future. chirinea.itch.io/hexapawn

Here's a version with a slightly smaller ship.

With some space left on the ROM I've added a ship to the title screen and some other nice surprises throughout the game. #mastersystem #homebrew

I've added more debug options to Razing Core which can be used for practicing. These options are hidden by default but are easy to reveal. #homebrew #mastersystem

In the early 90s, Taito worked several times with illustrator and background artist Tomoaki Okada / 岡田有章 from the design studio Mecaman (known for their work on Gundam, Nausicäa, Speed Racer, etc.). _Rayforce / Galactic Attack _Gun Force (Master System version) _Darius Force (SFC) _Cyber Sterra 1/3

Someone asked me why Razing Core is not on other retro platforms. The game design and it's identity is heavily tied to the Master System limitations, it wouldn't make sense on the Mega Drive. I'm not against multiplatform games but I would prefer to make a new game for the MD instead.

Working on the demonstration screen today since it hadn't been updated for a while. #mastersystem #homebrew

Both Pele games finished and now to play something a bit more to my taste. Mega Drive Odyssey 284: Arrow Flash (1990) Starting now.... www.twitch.tv/hystericmoon_

34 years ago, Thunder Force IV was released for the Mega Drive ⚡️ #サンダーフォースIV #Shmup #SegaGenesis
