  1. I love Geometry Wars but the Steam version has been broken forever. Today I found a fix for modern Win10/11 machines. Worth buying it now: store.steampowered.com/app/840 #steam #arcade #geometrywars

  3. I had a period of great progress on my #Gameboy Geometry Wars demake. After the first enemy, collision detection, and respawn cycles were added I put it on real hardware.

    Suddenly I was very demoralized. It was not fun. I could see that all the ideas I had to replace twin stick shooter controls were either not going to work, or not lead to a game that felt like Geometry Wars.

    I have some good base code for an original game, so I'm figuring out a new direction.

  5. Plenty of bullets now in my Gameboy game.

    This is a demake of Geometry Wars, which is a twin stick shooter - you may have noticed that the Gameboy does not have twin sticks. ➕ 🔴🔴

    But I have some ideas for that to try out, either before or after I make the first enemies. I'm starting to get the hang of the hardware and thinking in assembly now, and I have more reusable functions. Progress!

  7. Geometry Wars Gameboy demake update:

    After the kids are in bed I might get two hours where I have the brain function to get stuck into assembly coding. When I hit a problem bigger than two hours I get stuck for a while. This was the case moving specific movement and render code I wrote for the player to be more generic for entities including bullets and enemies. Now I'm unstuck this is looking more like a game.
