Oh no Scamp is officially out numbered! #retrodev #indiedev #segagenesis #megadrive
Excellent piece by Fabien Sanglard about the technical aspects of Silpheed on the Sega Mega CD: fabiensanglard.net/silpheed/ind... #SegaGenesis #SegaCD #RetroDev
Back in 2004 I wrote an online MMRPG based on Shining Force 2. I presented it at the graduate showcase and Microsoft awarded it a runner up prize. I'd hoped it would result in me getting a job in the games industry alas it didn't 😅
Heavy Recoil finally arrived @mix256.bsky.social ! #segagenesis #megadrive #indiedev #gamedev
Given that Sega is celebrating Sonic the Hedgehog's 35th birthday, I felt it was only fair to show the Sonic easter egg we hid away in Chords. #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive #IndieDev #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday #SonicTheHedgehog

Translations took 250 KB 😆 This is either bad or good news, depending on how you look at it. I've been racking my brain about how to save space, but it's increasingly apparent that Chords will need 64 MEG. Unless I cut back on music & SFX. #segagenesis #megadrive #gamedev
I've been working so hard to get multi lauguage support into Chords and I think I've cracked it. These shots were taken before a Portuguese character update. Just the translations to go! French, German, Spanish and Portuguese. #segagenesis #megadrive #gamedev #indiedev
Tester number 2 has just completed the demo due to hopefully drop in November 🎉 #sega #segagenesis #gamedev #indiedev
Chords for the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive #MegaDrive #SegaGenesis #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday
Chords extensively uses the Sega Mega Drive Shadow/Highlight feature for lighting effects. Support us: www.patreon.com/Retrosegadev #segagenesis #segamegadrive #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #screenshotsaturday
Working on the Steam demo it kinda works I guess... #segagenesis #megadrive #indiedev #gamedev

Another polished shadow/highlight effect we're using in Chords. No context and the same background as before. So spoiler free 😉 It's ironic that my Patreons pay to support the project and basically have the plot ruined for them! #segagenesis #megadrive #indiedev #gamedev #sega
For the last couple of weeks I've been focusing on how best to implement shadow/highlight effects in Chords. #segagenesis #megadrive #indiedev #gamedev #sega
The Patreon post from earlier details how multi language support for the menus is now present in Chords. We'll look to better support languages in dialogue if ROM will allow us to 🙂 #segagenesis #megadrive #sega #gamedev
I just finished updating the latest version of Chords with Vic's Sega CD Fusion Driver. It's now doing both streaming PCM speech and background music and it seems pretty good if you ask me. More devs should really use this! #gamedev #indiedev #sega #segagenesis #megadrive
One of many new locations in Chords. The Konami Snatcher wannabe #gamedev #indiedev #sega #segagenesis #megadrive
Another evening of scripting a ridiculous dialogue between ScAMP and ChAMP 😆 #SegaGenesis #SegsMegaDrive #IndieDev #GameDev
Scamp is outraged as per usual... #segamegadrive #segagenesis #chords #indiedev #gamedev
Chords standees didn't make it to @computinghistory.org.uk but they came out beautifully from the factory. #indiedev #gamedev #segagenesis #segamegadrive
This is criminal! First my other half and now you! 😄 Are these @whathosnorkers.bsky.social mugs of excellence?
A huge thank you to those who came to see @chordsthegame.bsky.social at @computinghistory.org.uk. For those who didn't here's a bit of game footage no one outside Patreon has seen 👍
Day two at @computinghistory.org.uk! Feel free to drop by and see Chords in action.
