Some weather effect tinkering ^w^

#programming #gamedev #homebrew #SEGASaturn #rpg

Recently I've been tinkering with Sega Saturn stuff. One thing I did was figure out how to scroll the RBG0 layer per scanline from an H-Blank interrupt for cool wavy effects (as you can see in the last video I posted)

It turns out there's a certain kind of nerd who gets real mad when I say I'm doing that lmao.

"NOOO you only have so many CPU cycles, interrupts have a cost, you should be using an NBG layer with linescroll table instead"

Bud I've seen Gameboy Color games do this in a cave with a box of scraps. This should be no problem at all for the Saturn.

Some fancy-ass water effects! Done by modifying rotation plane parameters per-line from an hblank interrupt :)

More #SEGASaturn tinkering. Simple makefile-based content pipeline w/ Python scripts. Animated sprites are converted from YAML+PNG files, map data is converted from LDTK json files.

Wanting to get back into pixel art VFX, scribbled this real quick on the iPad last night before bed
