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: https://store.steampowered.com/app/8400/?snr=1_5_9__205 #steam #arcade #geometrywars

Way back in August of 2020, I uploaded this video to YouTube & Odysee. Good old Geometry Wars. Itβs a game that will always be awesome π
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.
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. β π΄π΄
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!
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.

Satryn is a neat little Robotron style shooter. It runs good on my old Ubuntu laptop too. Good stuff!
Mainly on the 3DS, but also the retro PC to some extent. #FantasyLife3DS, #GeometryWars Galaxies, Cave Story, some #Kirby games (Adventure, Block Ball, Super Star Ultra), #Wolf3D, #Doom1, and more.
More, also being some DS homebrew. Original DS homebrew. I got my hands on a couple of Ace3DS X #flashcards both for ntrboot and for running homebrews. It's like my time with the plethora of Wii homebrew games. There is a massive ton of them, and there are some gems in there. (2/2)
hello again Mastodon #introduction time for the current wave of exodites
what's up, fuckers, i'm Vyr. you may know me from the short stories collected at https://princess.team/, which are more likely to make you cum and/or cry than my Mastodon posts. (i can also be found dollposting at @wintergreen and https://twitter.com/frostgears, although not so much this month because Mercury's in the refrigerator or whatever.) i have a #cohost at https://cohost.org/vyr if you're on that thing.
i'm #trans (whatever the best kind is, i'm that kind, not the other kind), ~~lesbiab~~ ~~lesbiam~~ ~~less bien~~ i like girls (specifically @hierarchon and @millenomi but also in general), low #fashion, #68k/#PPC-era Macs (ask me about my PowerBooks), cooking, occasional camping, twin-stick shooters, #Atelier games, and #XCOM. i don't like computers but i keep using them anyway, go figure.
i'm currently working on an Atelier demake for the #WASM4 fantasy console; before that, i wrote https://github.com/VyrCossont/Pinput just so i could use analog sticks in a #GeometryWars demake for the #PICO8 fantasy console. with enough peer pressure i may even finish some of those demakes. anything could happen.
bombs and scoring are mostly working now! #pico8 #GeometryWars
there we go. L2 distance calculations were overflowing, but L1 is fine for this and won't overflow #GeometryWars #pico8
debugging behaviors for the hated bullet-dodging green things. they're clearly not *always* paying attention to the closest bullet.
also, it looks like they have point-defense lasers now, so i'm probably going to have nightmares about that π°
implementing the horrible pink things
further progress on #GeometryWars for #pico8
working on the game part separately from the fancy blending part. here's almost recognizable #GeometryWars!
#GeometryWars 4 is gonna be awesome
