  • I’m doing the GBA Jam 2024, so it’s for the Gameboy Advance. There is a manager library called Butano that’s made the process easier, which could be an engine in a really loose definition.

    Besides Butano, I’m just writing all the other things that engines like Unity/Unreal usually manage as part of the project. A 2D top down adventure game is a good first intro because there’s not a lot that you need a dedicated engine for, and it’s actually been a breeze compared to trying to make something in the Unity editor.


  • Sorry for no screenshots, just wanted to share progress.

    I entered my first game jam a couple days ago, engineless, and I’m making progress! I only have demo scenes currently, but actors (including a player), map rendering, scene states and contexts, etc are all working so far! Next up is collision!

    I’m making an adventure game almost entirely inspired by a popular Nintendo franchise. Specifically ALttP.

    I feel bad for ripping off a game idea, but there’s not enough games that scratch that itch for me!

    It can be quite expensive, but after 20 different antidepressants and antipsychotics, I’ve considered it. My latest medications were $1738/m and $1800/m respectively. That’s like $60 per pill that I need to take daily. I’m in a fortunate position with amazing health insurance that will cover it.

    Ketamine is $1200 every 3 months, includes therapy, and has cheaper daily nasal spray to maintain the treatment.

    Also, recreational Ketamine is different. There’s Ketamine (recreational) and S-Ketamine (therapeutic). It does absolutely give you psychedelic effects, but it wouldn’t be as fun of a thing to take in your spare time as Ketamine.

    Cloudflare says they trained a model on non-cp first and worked with the government to train on data that no human eyes see.

    It’s concerning there’s just a cache of cp existing on a government server, but it is for identifying and tracking down victims and assailants, so the area could not be more grey. It is the greyest grey that exists. It is more grey than #808080.













  • I don’t have either for the actual cartridge reading, only specs for memory mappers. I found a pinout of the cartridge and I’m just toggling the 6 control pins until things work to find out how to read data. I’m still not 100% sure how they work or their timings.

    I’ll make a writeup and YT video when I’m done documenting it. I couldn’t find any good information about it online besides some writeups that seemed to leave out information on the control pins, or old sites on archive.org, so hopefully it’ll help someone else.
