I've been working on a PC port of my Jaguar game using OpenGL 1.2 and SDL 1.2 for a Win32 game jam, and I just got it running on Windows 98!

Wow, this is pretty cool. How did you even pull this off? I'm surprised to see some homebrew development being done here.  Let alone for the Jaguar, it sounds like would have been an arduous process.

Well the versions of OpenGL and SDL already support windows 98, so it was just a case of compiling the code into a 32-bit Windows exe.
Though one problem is that it's running very slow despite the whole scene just barely being 1,000 polygons. Some people I told this to suggested it could be running in software mode, and gave me a suggestion that didn't end up working.

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm sorry I haven't been that active as well. I hope things will get better for you! Also @Cobra! I read your post over on Sonic Retro about getting in contact with a publisher for your game, congratulations!

It is what it is.  As David Wooderson from Dazed and Confused would say ,"You gotta keep livin man, livin" .

Luckily I got a good friend group that has been supporting me.


In other news anyone here a fan of DanDaDan? I am not the biggest anime guy, but damn I love this one.

It is on Netflix.

Momo Ayase is a high schooler from a family of spirit mediums, while her classmate Okarun is an occult fanatic. The two start talking after Momo saves Okarun from bullies, but they argue because Momo believes in ghosts but not aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but not ghosts. To prove each other wrong, they visit a haunted tunnel and an abandoned hospital known for UFO sightings, where they encounter paranormal activity.

I've nearly finished the PC port of the Operation: Followthrough demo, and I have to say, it's felt very rewarding to make my own engine for the game! It was much more difficult than Godot but I honestly don't regret it one bit!

Hey everyone! It's getting closer to Christmas, crazy to think we're almost done with 2024 as well!

Merry Christmas to everyone

Happy Holidays! How was everyone's Christmas?
Mine was better than I expected! My mum got me a Street Fighter 2 "Countercade"!


I also won a Virtual Boy at Yahoo! Auctions for 15,000 yen! It's just the base unit and was a junk listing, but it's a start! Also ordered a controller to go with it.
