Master List of PC Engine Homebrew Games

I think we need more coders as well, but at the same time, I'm guessing that multiple coders's on 1 project can sometimes slow things down.  I'm only guessing, but I would think that every coder has their own style & expertise, similar to how musician's & tile & sprite artists have their own styles, & don't always mesh together.  But we DO need more coder's in general, no doubt!  Maybe pull some from the C64 scene or something.

From my perspective, the coding is not difficult (I know, matter of perspective).  Finding persons who can truly take advantage of the PCE GFX and Palettes, that's where the resource deficiency is.

Done. Let me know if I got any wrong.

Really? Palette management is a bit of a pain in the ass but it's not rocket science. I'm finding the trickiest thing is managing the graphics to fit nicely in the available storage/memory (which to anyone other than a programmer is some vague gas-like formation that's impossible to pin down). The only thing is us arty types are not trusting of programmers and want to see something solid before we take the plunge. Art/music should be the last of the worries. Good game relies on good design and competent programming.

Implode is a pressed CD.

[sunteam_paul]

Fixed.

[Necromancer]

Meteor Blaster is rom only, and Meteor Blaster DX (regular and SE) are CDR; Humpball and Crash are also on the Implode disc; and Loop2 is also on the Meteor Blaster DX - SE disc.

It looks like I missed out on the Mysterious Song CD.

Any suggestions on what's a good homebrew to start with?

Mindrec and Aetherbyte have plenty of good stuff under $30.   Aetherbyte.com  & Mindrec.com

Has anyone written a treatise on palette management?  I'd love to research the subject as I'm in the initial phases of designing my very own bathroom simulator game, and since I'm not using FEKA I'm not sure how I'm gonig to pull off all those shades of brown.  (seriously, though, i'd love some info to read on the topic as I have been wanting to get into making PCE graphixcs)

I want screen shots of the actors posing on the throne as proof of concept lol.

There is a site which sells all homebrew PCE games. It gets posted each time someone says that they missrd out on MS, but I don't remember the name.

Oh yeah? I would love to get that link if somebody has it.

I believe that it's Good Deal Games.

I believe that it's Good Deal Games.

Much thanks, I will pick up a copy soon.

Do you know if they are they still pressed CDs? My Duo-R doesn't read CDRs.

All Mysterious Song copies were made 'pressed'.
