Way back in August of 2020, I uploaded this video to YouTube & Odysee. Good old Geometry Wars. It’s a game that will always be awesome 😆

I had a period of great progress on my #Gameboy Geometry Wars demake. After the first enemy, collision detection, and respawn cycles were added I put it on real hardware.

Suddenly I was very demoralized. It was not fun. I could see that all the ideas I had to replace twin stick shooter controls were either not going to work, or not lead to a game that felt like Geometry Wars.

I have some good base code for an original game, so I'm figuring out a new direction.

Plenty of bullets now in my Gameboy game.

This is a demake of Geometry Wars, which is a twin stick shooter - you may have noticed that the Gameboy does not have twin sticks. ➕ 🔴🔴

But I have some ideas for that to try out, either before or after I make the first enemies. I'm starting to get the hang of the hardware and thinking in assembly now, and I have more reusable functions. Progress!

Geometry Wars Gameboy demake update:

After the kids are in bed I might get two hours where I have the brain function to get stuck into assembly coding. When I hit a problem bigger than two hours I get stuck for a while. This was the case moving specific movement and render code I wrote for the player to be more generic for entities including bullets and enemies. Now I'm unstuck this is looking more like a game.

Satryn is a neat little Robotron style shooter. It runs good on my old Ubuntu laptop too. Good stuff!
