left - is original new AI generated "title/menu" screen with final CRT rendition. Genesis palette was a bit crippled with only 3 bits per color channel so dithering is essential. But it renders quite nicely none the less... Quite happy with the result.

Genesis has 4 different 16 (15 + transparency) independent palettes that tiles could references so to get on colors out of it on screen there is a lot of K-clustering and other optimization techniques at work to get 51 unique colors out of 60 on screen at a time... \

Have been working on this retro Sega Genesis side project for a while - modernizing and improving on original Robocop vs The Terminator. A lot of ROM hacking and gameplay changes along with some fun graphics and vfx stuff... Finally got 4-palette-joint image converter working \

@nreooww @XorDev It's definitely "simulated" with refraction. But the surface "wave" might be some kind of Perlin noise.

@XorDev That's just a random caustic texture that google returned :)

@noelle_1025 @_mrjay88 This game is not about the "main quest" - that sucks. You play it for everything else except the main quest.

@ShadePJ @geoffkeighley @TrueGamer1111 The real problem is the production cost to achieve that fidelity. Scanning, processing and preparing those kinds of assets is expensive.

@maxxedgoof @_AsiwajuLerry Don't make stuff up. It was not designed to survive the flip and if it did not explode and could be depressurized safely - great, recover remains. If it does explode, wait until it's safe and recover remains for analysis and there is a lot to analyze of what's remained.

@DX_Nacca This technique was used way before the Forza. I remember seeing it used in VFX as Siggraph 10 or 15 years ago used in Movies.

Browsed through old NES game manuals and bumped into this beauty. This is what real 1992 “screenshots” looked like — how pixel art was actually rendered and perceived at the time. No visible pixels, just cleanly separated lines. Smooth, yet sharp at the same time. #gimmick #nes

Cutting shorts down to 50ish seconds is still no fun. Tried multiple AI tools but they all really suck. Not nearly as good as hand edited stuff. They don't get the jokes, don't the the timing, don't get the emotions...

@brandilwells You can eat bugs. They have a lot of protein and our small furry ancestors had not problems with them.

Now FF7 Remake and Rebirth are finished, I am totally ready for the final part. Supposed to come out in 2027. But this Steam thing is just way too weird... Save files say 90 hours, Steam says 120 hours. How hard can it be to count the actual time based on active inputs?
