/vr/ - Retro Games

It's both. There's a massive amount made in the last 30 years that I haven't yet had the pleasure of playing. Long-term no-hassle accessibility in the modern era is a joke. Practically everything from older platforms is easy to access in one way or another. I'll probably play indie games forever after but I'm pretty comfy just checking out stuff I missed over the years.

Always a good story.

OP here. Been extremely busy preparing for a new semester. I've yet to encode the samples and insert them, but will try to get that done tonight.

I've played on a few different emulators now and I'm definitely causing some popping when keying on certain notes. I think it's because the sound envelope experiences a discontinuity going from the previous sample to the next. I'll have to key off a few notes before keying on that channel again if the note doesn't have time for the envelope to naturally decay to a level that won't cause popping.

This is a game format that I've been serious interested in developing for a long time. I've been toying with the idea of this for a while. I want to make a game one day where you can disarm or use defeated enemy weapons for attacking and puzzle solving (think throwing a sword into a tall wall so you can use it as a step to get over it), or maybe grab enemies and use them to block or throw at other enemies. Thinking along these lines, I heard Mischief Makers was very difficult to fine tune the grabbing mechanics, but it would just be so damn cool to have a fast action Metroidvania where you used enemies and terrain to your advantage.

Never heard of it, I'll have to check it out.
