Here's a prototype for a single channel of the sound system for the fantasy console. I wanted to do something else than just square waves or fm synthesis, so this is a subtractive synthesizer. You play notes using the keyboard keys, and you can click/drag values mattiasgustavsson.com/wasm/synth.h...

Making indie games is tough - it's a marathon of coding, creativity, and constant learning. But remember, every line of code optimized, every bug squashed, is a step closer to your vision. Keep pushing, keep refining, and never stop believing in your game. Perseverance is key! #IndieDev

I've been thinking more about the fantasy console I want to make, been doing a lot of reading and done some prototyping. I think it's going to be quite inspired by the Atari ST, with influences from the Amiga and the Sega Genesis/Megadrive, and even Capcom arcade systems.

Hey all UI & UX designers! I am working on a post apocalyptic vehicular combat game and I would love to start work on my in-game UI. For this, I would love to have some help! If you feel like helping a fellow developer out (unfortunately I can not pay) ping me! #IndieGameDev #gamedev

Feels good to end the day with great progress on the enemy-npc movement. It can be tricky to get it right. #gamedev #indiegamedeveloper

I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file. PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields. doompdf.pages.dev/doom.pdf github.com/ading2210/do...

Playing around with the building tool in my cozy town building game. I made some small tweaks to the rules for how roofs form, but the impact on how the tool feels is much bigger than I expected. Starting to feel really nice to build now 🏗️🏘️

literally shaking right now how the hell am I supposed to sleep

Gamedev tip: If you get stuck on your hobby project, just open it up and do *anything* to it. Change something small, fix a trivial bug. Doing something will get you back into the feel of actually doing stuff and break the block, then it'll be easier to do bigger things.

I like playing emulators with CRT filter, so I made a modified version of DOSBOX, with a CRT shader built in. I think too often, emulators can be hard to figure out for beginners, so I bundled a bunch of game demos with it, and made a menu to launch them from mattiasgustavsson.itch.io/dosbox-crt

Ok that's all I'm going to do for now. It's not miles away from a JP 8080, but it's not exactly the same :)
