Re: Sega Tech Docs archive

Haha I've just noticed you have a "partial" scan of the Elliot Gay 32X manual, pages 35-48, in your Google Drive. That's precisely the chunk missing from mine!

Do you have the physical copy?

Re: Sega Tech Docs archive

Fantastic stuff! I'm just going through all my stuff to see if I can add to the pile. I have the Elliot Gay copy of those 32X manuals, there's a big chunk missing (that seems to have been replaced with random SH2 docs) but I've scanned pages 64 and 65 so your copy is complete at least. Page 65 is an...

Re: I *WANT* to be a game developer

This sounds like you're going through burnout, and it's a very dangerous thing. Take some time out, concentrate on your studies, let your head clear for a bit, and then make a new plan. When you come back, take things in bite-sized chunks. Work on one thing at a time, in isolation, until it's done, ...

Re: My journey learning Sega Genesis/Mega Drive programing

Your game received funding through Kickstarter - this is because access to projects from other countries, such as Argentina, is closed there. This is discrimination in favor of the UK, USA, and others. No need to be a hypocrite. At Indiegogo, even interesting projects are unsuccessful - as an examp...

Re: My journey learning Sega Genesis/Mega Drive programing

Very cool job! But it is better to make the game on a Windows PC and release it through Steam. It will play more people. You will get more reviews and money (if a commercial project). ...this is a Mega Drive games development forum? It's what we do. Steam is a dead platform unless you're able to pu...

I can't import any tilesets.
Giving my BMP 16-indexed colors gives me an error.
Hey sorry for the delay. It only accepts 4bpp indexed BMP files - some tools pad the colours out to >16 which doesn't help (MS Paint, etc).
