If you're not aware of the Black Game Developer Fund (I wasn't!), hey, now you are. This is rad! https://blackgamedevfund.com/apply/

Yo #GameDev folks, maybe spread this one out a bit? I know very little about the fund itself / I can't vouch for it or anything, but more options to choose from is better than less when it comes to funding.

v0.5.3 of doldrusidus adds monoliths that hold secret texts, which can be deciphered one character at a time.

In the demo below, I speed up "deciphering" with a tandem of machines to accumulate machine instructions for the monolith faster. The secret is slowly revealed in the top-right window.

#gamedev sprite test!

I think it is way too bouncy; I'm gonna localize movement to their legs when they walk, and keep the hood and hands still.

I also think the head may be a bit too flat on top in profile.

In NBA Jam: T.E. for Genesis/Mega Drive developers only found out after making the 250k cartridges, that there was a save bug. But playing the game in a certain order fixed it, so it got a day one "patch" in the manual saying how to initialize memory. #GameDev
BATTERY BACKUP PROBLEMS When playing NBA Jam TE, if your battery does not save, you must initialize it. First, play a full game using the initials XXX. Then, play another full game using the initials NBA. Do not delete either of these players, and your battery should save.
