This year has not been going so well for me....and I know in some parts of the world people have it worse right now. That's terrible and if I could change something about it...I would. But this is just my own personal blog so it's about my problems. Ok. :)
A few weeks ago I had written down the...
It took me a while to figure out how to use the video editing software to make something interesting. I think it's awesome!!! :lol: I am not saying it's good...but I do really like that I was able to create this myself! Not the music though...but that one really sets the mood and was the...
A few months ago I created a youtube channel with the idea of uploading video's about my homebrew remake of BatteryCheck. At least a video of every working platform is what I had in mind but for some reason...mostly being lazy I guess...I did not go through with it! I did record and upload a...
Let's start with wishing everybody a very happy and healthy 2022! :D
There are so many things I want to work on that sometimes my head just explodes and overloads...resulting in me doing absolutely NOTHING!! :cry: It's one of the worst habits I would like to change...but I guess I am stuck with...
Using the sun to make a cup of coffee is now within the possibilities of my solar power experiments! :D
During the crazy black Friday week I have bought a PowerStation! It's basically a powerbank on steroids intended to be used when you are outdoors a lot, when camping, or whatever people with...
Here is a crazy idea for an experiment one day....power a Wii and/or GameCube completely with solar power! Without using a 220v inverter! :D
The idea is basically to replace the AC adapter for the wii/gc with a 12v dc-dc converter. Then with a 12V HDMI monitor for the image it should just...
So many times I posted that "I am back on the game..." then a while later "no really, this time I GOT to finish it".....it's like a never ending circle with me. Sorry for anyone who is still waiting for BatteryCheck to get finished on their favorite platform....even that one is an ever growing...
Last time I was complaining a little how my script that is collecting statistics about my homebrew game threads and downloads did not work anymore. The reason was something cloudflare did to detect "automated browsers" or bots. I can totally understand why this is there offcourse, but i was...
A couple of months ago I did a manual counting of how many times my homebrew versions were downloaded for each platform and posted it here. While I could do this every couple of weeks or every month...it's way to tedious and time consuming! And I am a developer so I created a programmers...
This is not a typical devblog where I go far to much into technical details about my homebrew remake of batterycheck. This is about taking care of the required game files and where to get them from. The owners have made it clear to me they don't have plans to provide the download themself on...
While I have made a few blog post's now about making a video and that it's coming soon....still nothing! :shy: One of the main reasons is a bad audio connection....and I really need to search for the right adapter cables to fix it! Searching for those cables is made difficult by the high...
It's really not as easy as "press record" to make a video. Sure, it will record that easily but you need to consider A LOT of things besides that! Lighting, reflections, focus, distance to object, etc..... and then I am not even talking about the sound! (not important as I do not plan on talking...
The last preview version I uploaded for the Wii was kind of buggy and missing some nice new features. Mostly the splashscreens when it's started, but in addition to that there were also some bugs that showed a big white block near the dragon. No idea what was causing that but my latest test on...
Now that I am allowed to share video's I thought let's start with the one I am working and testing with the most: The linux Version! :D
It shows everything that works on the Linux version and also a few things that are missing. The debug features are still required to get around the...
I have been in contact with the owners of BatteryCheck and I got permission to share the download for the game! They do want me to add a disclaimer that it's not official and they are not responsible for the download. So I need to come up with a good text to go with it...and then maybe hopefully...
A while ago I posted about having bought a copy of GTA5 on nearly every console and PC I have...but never really finishing it! That was on march 9 this year and I did actually play GTA5 for a little while from about 40% to 47% in about a week and posted about it here. Then I got distracted again...
My game engine for BatteryCheck is not even complete yet and now I am starting to "design" my own levels? Why? How? Well....lets talk about it. ^_^
There is actually enough of "gameplay" to get around the original level up to a certain point where you require to activate some of the machines to...
Over the last few weeks I have ported my game engine to: PlayStation 2, Wii U and Nintendo Switch. Technically the PS2 was already done in august 2018 but I did not release it back then. The switch version is also done basically but I did not make a public release yet. And I have actually fixed...
Just a friendly warning that this is a very long and technical blog post. My main reason for writing it was that I needed to rethink what I had done and how this stuff came into existence. You have been warned! :D
My homebrew game project started around June 2018 shortly after discovering some...
I was talking about my game project a bit with my cousin and that I ported it to the switch and all the other platforms it already runs on. Then she said: So it runs on everything?....it was only then that I started looking at my current list of platforms:
- Linux
- GameCube
- Wii
- Wii U
-...
