/vr/ - Retro Games

(forgive me for writing this kind of @all post but I don't want to bump the thread a dozen times.)

This is a good example of the type of collaboration known to be workable already, i.e., contributing maps or levels to a central curator. It will be worth lurking in there sometime to learn their ways in detail.

This could be workable with a good OP template, particularly if it's narrowed down to one processor/system. It wouldn't even be competing with the current /vg/ homebrew general ("/hbg/") since that focuses on post-/vr/ consoles. There's also /vg/'s amateur game development general, "/agdg/", but that's mostly post-/vr/ as well.
I'll add doing an Atari 2600 homebrew general to the list of things to try.

>the problem with 4chan collabs is they lack any cohesive vision so they just end up being a pile of trash held together with memes
that's a feature, not a bug :)
But yes, quality control is still important. Later I will discuss ideas for creating some cohesion (but not too much).
>I thought about doing a SMB3 collab since new modding tools came out this year
That would be another good target game for doing a level submission-type collab event.

Interesting. This would also go sort of well with /vr/'s mascot--I mean the doodle guy with 3d glasses (wish I had a picture of him handy).

Are you the real Zniggy-Anon? Just wanted to say thanks if you are. I hope you enjoyed learning Z80 assembly.

Yes. These are high on the list. Even if the GB line doesn't use a normal Z80 chip, I still think it's pedagogically one of the best options.

TurboGrafx would be on the "Good because it's powerful and easy to program for" side of the spectrum, opposed to the "Good because it has constraints which make decision-making easier" side of the spectrum (e.g. the Atari 2600 would be the extreme of this, and the GB/GBC would fall somewhere in the middle).
