WiiDream Engine update 🎮
Today I started implementing the Collision2D system using the Separating Axis Theorem for rotated object collision detection.
Engine is well organized now too. Tons to do but I will be making awesome wii games before we all know it.
#gamedev #retro #wii #indiedev
Making progress on the WiiDream Engine today.
Just implemented:
Transform2D
Geometry2D
DreamMath
Core math systems are coming online. The clip shows a quick demo of the code in action.

Got my Dreamcast serial cable working today.
Real hardware testing is now much faster — no more burning CDRs just to try a new build. Huge quality-of-life upgrade for Dreamcast homebrew development.
#gamedev #dreamcast #retro
Started a second homebrew engine project, the WiiDream Engine. It’s an engine for Wii homebrew that I will build along side the DreamAgain Engine.

Modded my gamecube with a LED and a battery swap mod.
Super easy and super fun.

Implemented the AI in the testing grounds AI demo to demonstrate the AI pathfinding modules in the DreamAgain engines.
Also uses a grid2d module from the engine for the demo.

DX11Lab Week 2 is live 🚀
This week I built the first real Direct3D rendering path:
CPU vertex data → GPU vertex buffer → HLSL shaders → triangle on screen.

Created the DreamAgain SDK so I can work on both the go and in the studio!

Bug Squashed!
As I was working on getting set up for the AI demo in the testing ground demo; the bmfont renderer was rendering wrong! Ack, I figured out why and bug is dead and gone!

DreamAgain Engine Devlog Update #3 is up
This week I implemented a reusable VMU save module and released Tech Demo 2, an Arkanoid-style game built to test the new engine systems.
Developing for Dreamcast has been a blast so far.
Full devlog:

Tech Demo 2 was built using my DreamAgain Engine, which I’ve been developing specifically for Dreamcast homebrew.
This demo includes:
• VMU save support
• powerups
• modular save system
• randomized block layouts

What a week from up here at Space Channel 7!
I finished Tech Demo 2; an Arkanoid-style game for Dreamcast now live on itch. It pushed the DreamAgain Engine in some challenging ways and led to a ton of improvements under the hood.
New blog post coming tomorrow!

Just released Tech Demo 2 for the DreamAgain Engine, a custom engine I'm building for the Sega Dreamcast.
This demo is a small Arkanoid-style game showing off many updates to the Engine.

DreamAgain Engine Dev Update #2 – ECS in C is up! 🚀
Just published the latest update on the DreamAgain Engine progress! This week I dove deep into building our Entity-Component-System architecture entirely in C.

It is absolutely mind blowing to me today I was able to focus for 8 hours straight and implement a ton of things into the DreamAgain Engine today. But I'm beat mentally now. So...
DreamAgain Engine Update
Spritesheet animation has been implemented to the engine and a few animations have been added to the arkanoid game.
Today's work was mostly artwork and then implementing the animation system. #Sega #Dreamcast #GameDev #DreamAgain
I am calling my little indie studio DreamAgain games, I am working on the DreamAgain Engine and wanted a logo of sorts so for the games I make made this today.
#pixelart #sega #dreamcast #segadreamcast
Started week 2 game 2 of the Dream Again Engine today, tons of work done. Implmented a ECS system in C, and then drew some pixel art for a background for the game and a paddle. This arkanoid game will be sort of a tech demo, but it certainly will be fun to see DreamAgain grow.
Time for sleeps now.
Greeting Bluesky!
I am DJfromSpace making homebrew games for dreamcast.
I am making a game a week (if possible) while developing my engine DreamAgain.
I finished the first week by making a game of Pong.
