An early happy new year to everyone! If you're interested in any of these then be sure to check the links in the video description for more info. If you have the financial means to do so, then I would highly recommend supporting Stef's SGDK Patreon (even if for just the price of a coffee per month), as pretty much all these games are being created using his superb development kit and he's generous enough not to demand any royalties, even for commercial games! You'll find the link to that in the video description too.
I wish everyone happiness and health for 2024!
Great video
Some youtube links were screwed in the description !
Superb video ! Happy New Year !
Will there be a physical version?
All should be fixed now :)@@laurentcrouzet4588

Thanks! I meant to do them, but am already exhausted doing both this video and the Chinese version!
@@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorials No worries! You've put out a lot of content in the past week, so you've clearly been busy. Hope you enjoy your break in January and happy new year!
I prefer having download link of games
I would give anything for a new ThunderForce game, for me TF3 was the best it was perfection. A remake on new hardware in HD with more colours and even better parallax plus remastered music would be insane.
The Genesis is a beast, the limiting factor was mostly cartridge size and developement time. Sega actually didn't lie when it said "Blast Processing" :)
Totally true! And I cannot imagine what 32x and Sega CD could have done if pushed to the limit
No lies detected, haha
Same with the n64, .portal has been made recently and it looks amazing. A techno music album called remute Also lots of clever goleneye custom maps with added sound samples and textures etc makes it very interesting if you have everdrives
I always wonder... what if the N64 had a larger texture cache? Would be interesting if that could be hacked into the Mister N64 core to see what could be done with a larger cache.@@tabsntoot
@@diehlrThe N64's internal texture cache is twice the size of what the PlayStation had. The cache size wasn't the problem, it was simply starved by the use of cartridges which couldn't hold anything close to the amount of texture maps that a CD could.
Thank you so much for featuring us! 😊 I think 2024 is going to be a really big year for the MD!
You're welcome! Looking forward to seeing more of the game
That daemon claw,the background design seems a bit like blasphemous.
Thanks for your continued support for other indie game developers, Pigsy! Personally, working on my game already drains all of my time and energy, but somehow you manage to work on your own game project(s), create tutorials, and also give visibility to other game projects. 👍
Yeah, it can leave you feeling drained if you're not careful. I try to keep things as fun as possible and that helps
That Starfox port is mind-blowing.
68000 power.
that's a lot of fps for a superlow config
gotta love what that YM2612 adds to the game!
I'd love to work on one if these games if anyone needs someone tondo performance C or 68k Assembly.
This still thriving scene makes me wish SEGA would greenlight a MD Mini Console full of nothing but indie games.
I think an emulation console with a cartridge slot, cd slot and internet connection would be a good idea. They could then sell online and physical editions, not only of their console games, but of arcade games too! Even very cheap computers are capable of emulating up to Dreamcast/Model 3 now, so we should be getting close to the ideal $99 price point. Unlike the mini consoles, they could then continue to make money from game sales too!
@@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorials
Seeing that Atari entered the aftermarket with their 2600+, perhaps SEGA and M2 should jump on that bandwagon while they can.
Maybe they could go above and beyond with new custom console shells (Green Hill checker pattern and Columns jewels), updated box/cart labels, manuals (Ex: Streets of Rage 2 or Phantasy Star 2 with the Japanese cover art and colored manuals) with an option for legacy versions ("American-ized" art with grayscale manuals), and the return of Mega Games multicarts.
I would buy a re-released Shinobi 1-3 special edition cartidge/box in a flash. I'm sure similar special editions (SoR, sonic etc) would sell too@@denraimei32
that would be truly delicious! just ordered a pi5 to put in a dead megadrive shell got something to route 2 megadrive pads through usb. 🎉@@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorials
Can’t beat real hardware tho
You realize SGDK is special when 90s legends are using it.
Sgdk is very special - even if you don't use all of it it's a fantastic base to start with.
For our game Lufthoheiit we use sgdks - xgm sound driver, sgdk scolling/maps and general initialization.
We use assembly language for the rest of the routines like sprite movement etc.
Rescomp sgdks resource compiler would save any project a huge amount of time alone, hats off to the creator of sgdk Stephane.
The parallax clouds @2:50 … holy crap that is a work of pure art. The whole scene is visually amazing.
As some ones who´s first console was a master system and then a mega drive I always seen my self as a sega connoisseur and it makes me happy to see the Mega drive keep getting loved even to this day. Seeing these games just warms my heart. But I will admit what I would love to see is some one getting like a licens to make a old school run and gun game set in Warhammer 40k would be epic to see 40k themed game on a master system.
Sounds like a good idea!
Didn't think the Mega Drive could reproduce the Starfox soundtrack so accurately...
while i only listened through an SNES walkthrough, the MD version sounds so much better imo!!
It would seem nobody got what I meant.
To me, the section with Starfox doesn't sound at all like what the Mega Drive hardware is possible of. Last I knew, the Mega Drive didn't use samples/soundfonts... something dubious is afoot.
@@ryansteele2111possibly sample streaming & PCM software mixing?
1:45 I think the one MAJOR factor that hold them back is indeed Cartridge Size. Many 3D effects could be "faked" using sprite animation among other tricks, one game that shows this off really nicely is Contra Hard Corps. Imagine the guys behind that title had 32MB to work with.
As usual with your new Genesis & Mega Drive game videos, I've discovered a lot of games that I had no idea were being developed. Thanks for releasing these every year. Happy New Year, Pigsy. Have a great 2024.
Glad to hear it! I know everyone here is really interested in MD dev, so it can be hard to find stuff that they don't already know about. Happy 2024 to you too!
Pigsy is a great narrator, developer and editor. What would the retro gaming community be without him, his presence?
Really glad this is the first place we can see our new game in the cooking. Lufthoheit !
Shannon and Carsten are beast of work ! Working on the game and creating the soundtrack for this game is phenomenal. Thank you for the indie support !
You're welcome! I've been in touch with Shannon quite a bit and know you have all been working very hard on the project. Good luck with it!
@@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorials What's fun is that we are 2 times represented in your video. Working on Mega R-type is also incredible !
@cyberdeous Your game looks fantastic! Can't wait to see more 👍
Do you need a programmer who knows C and 68k?
As a shmup fan I feel like I'm going to be spoiled for choice in 2024. While Earthion is going have amazing polish to its presentation, it appears Lufthoheit is going to be setting a new standard on how much insanity can be thrown on the screen at once on the ye olde Mega.
Definitely a lot of great shooters coming! Lufthoheit really may end up being something special!
How do people continue to unlock power from this console?? It's the shonen protagonist of the video game world lol, at this rate I expect the people tinkering with it to say "this isn't even its final form" and turn it into a Saturn lol.
Starfox without the SuperFX chip is unbelievable, I know it's on early development but pulling this off so far is very impressive, I'm wondering if it's possible to implement the bosses without a slowdown
@brainblastpro how about converting Killer Instinct soundtrack to Genesis? In my opinion is one of the nicest in the entire SNES library.
@brainblastpro I had it in cassette tape XD, a friend of mine did a copy for me back in 1995 because my stereo system didn't have CD
Time and technology are really unlocking these retro systems to their full potential!! Amazing to see these new games running on classic game machines!! Can you imagine when we get fully optimized development kits on all the retro systems? Think of the amazing games that could be made even on the most obscure game system! Great video!!
You really have to admire the outstanding accomplishments that are these projects. Demakes and impressive original games wouldn't be possible without bold and skilled developers who sometimes manage to push a retro system further than the best looking official game did. And the people who tinker with the console and create the tools that make homebrewing possible, they are often unsung heroes. I've always said mod and fan game creators are one of the best things about gaming.
I've been keeping an eye at the evolving Sega Saturn scene. Once again developers are showing how amazing fandoms can be by actually working on that system too, they've tried to make the Saturn Sonic game Sega itself couldn't. Sadly most of attempts don't get off the ground, as to be expected. If anyone manages to create a good 3D Sonic it will be among the most impressive Sonic related homebrew projects. I'd like to know if it would be possible to demake Sonic Adventure on the Saturn.
@@protocetid It is incredible the hard work everyone puts in and seeing these amazing results! I love seeing what these retro systems do that I thought were impossible! Hats off to everyone's involved!!! You are amazing!
Awesome job with the video, Pigsy!
I made timestamps in another comment in case you wanted to integrate them so people can find a specific game easier.
There's a lot of amazing games in the works right now! I'm personally most looking forward to Earthion, Lufthonheit, Daemon Claw, Heavy Recoil, Go! Go! PogoGirl, Kenseiden 2, BioEvil, Phantom Gear, and ZPF. So much impressive looking stuff! I'm hoping 2024 is the year where I actually start working on making prototypes of some of the ideas I've been kicking around since I first found your tutorials.
All the best in 2024! 🍻
Just think small at first (try to put a single sprite on the screen, then 2, then the background etc). If you take things step by step then you'll get there eventually. Good luck!
Weird how everyone knows of Yuzo Koshiro but his sister Ayano who was a graphics designer on Streets of Rage 2 and a bunch of other well known games is almost unknown in the west.
The Genesis is definitely alive and going strong! Irena Genesis Metal Fury continues to get better and better, ZPF is looking amazing, really liking how Earthion by Ancient is looking, didn't know about Luftoheit (King of the Sky) but it's looking impressive, Heavy Recoil looks fun and of course your port of Castlevania Symphony Of The Night is incredible!
Very hyped by Kirito looks like a fun BTU
It does :)
You never said that in mp poto !
@@Snake1984fly happy to see you finally got out of jail brah
In this game, Kirito takes his revenge over all the RUclipsrs who stabbed him in the back
@@matthieum6455 you talked about Boursorama my reuf?
...so many cool Games in development ! but my favourite is "Lufthoheit"👍🔥 ...best wishes to the dev-team - stay strong and keep it going💪
I know that team are working really hard on the project!
I'm not a developer, but I wonder if there's a reason specifically why the post market releases became commonplace for the Mega Drive, is it its hardware design, video resolution, CPU and overall specs more appealing to development somehow, or is is just the most beloved classic console of the bunch?
Yea it’s the way the snes operates with external chips and weird coding I love the snes such I guess it’s just more attainable on megadrive to get the desired idea results
SGDK
But really Xeno Crisis. A game made by (previously) retired professionals. It made money. Bitmap Bureau made it look easy. But they used to make SMD games.
The 68k processor helps in that matter. A lot of systems used it back in the day, so it's been studied/programmed for by many people over the years, and for all I know it's also friendly for C programming. That leads to the SGDK development kit that most devs are using nowadays. Having a modern, dedicated devkit is HUGE. And people aren't wrong when they say the MD was the superior machine compared to its peers (NeoGeo notwithstanding, as it was essentially an arcade board turned console) in what it could do by itself. The PC Engine was roughly an 8-bit system with 16-bit graphics, and the SNES' architecture was made to be reliant on external hardware (the many games with chips) after they had successfully applied that for the latter NES games. I believe we're finally starting to scratch the surface of the Mega Drive's true potential now, and I wonder what the console would be able to do had it not been "held back" by retrocompatibility with the SMS in its inception.
@deansatan9573this video has 5 SNES homebrews in it, 48 NES games (almost all Mega Man clones), 21 Genesis games, 51 Game Boy and GBC games.
So NES and GB games dominate the video which use the 6502 system archetecture.
It's the 6502 architecture, not the cpu clock speed is the bottleneck. I forgot specifically the issue with bottlenecks but it's actually related to how 6502 systems handle memory transfers (awkwardly).
The NES dev scene seems quite strong despite this issue with 6502.
But people have been homebrewing on 6502 machines for a long time, they are just more likely to be C64 and NES games. So if you are experienced with the 6502, you should be able to get good results. I feel the majority of NES games are hacks of Zelda and Super Mario Bros, so that's low hanging fruit and not really trying very hard at programming. I feel the Nintendo homebrew scene is more about adding levels and difficulty to already beloved franchises.

The music in King of the Sky is banging hard
Thank you ;)
Thanks for mentioning my and @edmocaldas project Hayato's Journey (aka Kenseiden 2)
Happy new year my friend and keep it up with your amazing Symphony of the Night adaptation!!!
Thanks Master, happy new year.
Looking forward to playing it. BTW, where does the background from that final scene come from (with the moon and clouds)?
@@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorials Actraiser 🤣
Ah yes, that's where it's from, thanks!@@MasterLinkuei
SOTN looks amazing!
Many exciting and creative new games over the horizon for the Mega Drive.
Thanks for the update, Pigsy man! And Happy New Year!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Happy new year!
The Megadrive still the best 16bit console ever GG and please give max support to KIRITO THE GAME one of the most exciting BTA GG
13:52 Coloco DX actually looks a lot like Sub-Terrania on Genesis.
It does a little!
It's actually very close to the unreleased game ResQ.
Loving the Zillion music in that Space Hunter demo.
We need a fan-made Zillion 3 on the MD!
Wait so that's not the actual games music?I loved the music in this
Fatal Fury looks like the Neo Geo one, great job!
King of the sky is exactly the type of game I've been looking for for decades 😮
I'm sure the devs will be glad to hear that :)
Small correction: Insane Pain was not made by Davilia Games, but by Blast Process Games.
I wouldn't expect any more games from them though.
Cool video and great to have such an overview. I hope most of these projects make it to the finish line!
Kirito The Game 🔥💪 Cyber et la fine équipe 🤘
Kenseiden 2 looking like an official sequel.
I like it a lot!
Muita coisa boa vindo aí.. Bio Evil, Mega R-Type, Space hunter, Real Bout, etc..
Só jogo filé.
Agreed, lots of nice games on the way!
@@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorials And it's all thanks to you all
I love these videos, so much goodness in development for my favorite console! Long live the Megadrive!! (ps given the quality of your work on SOTN you cannot be regarded as an amateur!)
Thanks, I really enjoy doing them!
Kirito ta gueule look Amazing bro! Well done
The aftermarket for Mega Drive / Genesis has soon a bigger library of games than were offically released back in the days, it's amazing!
To think I’d live to see my old gaming rig port StarFox almost perfectly is something I’d never think of in a million years. Mind Melting. Also, your SOTN is coming along incredibly well, and I might just purchase an old MD just to play it. And BioEvil looks incredibly fun.
The fact that games are still being made for this system is incredible.
Kirito The Game is the game to follow poto
I love the space hunter music (that would be the zillion theme! No wonder this comes from Brazil, where history books say zillion toys sold better than in japan.
I'm a Megadrive child and love what you guys are doing.
But I wish the SNES was able to be programmed for too.
It would be amazing to see the old friendly rivalry like on
Spurring the other team to do better.
Yeah, it would be great if there were lots of SNES games coming out too
The available tools are much better for the Genesis/MD from what I've seen, which is a major thing. There's no equivalent to SGDK or the music tools or anything else as far as I'm aware. Plenty of us out here know how to properly program the 65816 to go fast, but we're sticking with the Apple IIgs and Foenix F256/F256 Jr for now.
@deansatan9573 Yeah, it does seem the SNES doesn't get much love compared to the Amiga, Mega Drive and C64.
The problem for the SNES is its architecture, which isn't the easiest to program for, whereas the Amiga and Mega Drive share many similarities that can make many cross-platform tools work well for the two and also why many games are being ported to the two machines.
As for the C64, it's an 8-biy platform so the amount of work needed is much smaller and games tend to be smaller in scope for that and probably why we don't see that many for 32-bit platforms, the workload would go up a lot unless it's a simply game.
"The MegaGen is dead! Long live the MegaGen!"
Thank you for putting together this video in addition to the work you are doing on SotN. While I enjoy seeing fan translations of games from other systems, Its even more exciting (for me) to see more and more new IPs developed that will be released as a FULL PHYSICAL game or at least have the potential to be.
While 2024 is shaping up to be a great year for the MegaGen, it makes me wonder what kind of amazing things could be done if the MDdev community had understanding and fluency with the 32x.
4:00 that's on the genesis? that's crazy!!!
Sure is!
Lufthoheiit is using sprite multiplexing to show far greater than the normal system limit of sprites onscreen at once. This was a very rarely used technique so it's great to show what can be done in our game.
So happy I’m a Sega kid! And a Shooter fan to boot!!! Stoked! Thanks for the update.
Excited for Kenseiden 2!
So many cool MD games in the works! Thanks for this video. Arcade Shadow Dancer looks amazing!
Impressive stuff in here but SOTN was the main "event". It looks and even sounds beautiful! Please finish it!
All of these games look amazing, but I'm very interested in Earthion, Daemon Claw, Chords, Sacred Line II, Super Power Kick, Phantom Gear, and Real Bout Fatal Fury Special. If the last one is even 95% accurate to the Neo-Geo version by the time it's finished it will show that a lot of the ports of the past were limited by time, budget, tooling, and knowledge. Even the PSX port had missing animations and stuff like that so if the Genesis version is more accurate that would be awesome.
@@rafaelantonio6765 Wait someone is trying to port MvC to the Genesis? Nah I don't buy it.
The fps manifold looks good look foward to any development
I hope these developers share their programming secrets with each other.
I found that the people in the community are always happy to help each other, so I think there is lots of stuff being shared
3:33 they brought TOUHOU to Mega Drive 😂
Genesis/Mega Drive lives on!
I think this shows how powerful the genesis was. Despite having a weak color palette it has much more raw power than the snes
Kirito music sounds like something from Chuck Rock 2
Earthion tiene una excelente música y sonidos de efecto los gráficos son de lo mejor
Increíble lo poderosa que es la Sega Genesis siendo una consola de1988.
17:31 the horse riding section, that music, thats from Musya on SNES but done in genesis style, sounds nice
With the cost of memory today, they can make some really good looking games that can rival neo-geo in graphics... Yes the color will not be as good, but effects and sprites can be much better with more memory. Things that used hardware to do graphical tricks can now be done and saved in memory and streamed to the screen, so a hardware trick can be nothing but a preprocessed sprite.
I m so exited about KTG !!! i can't wait i need a MD quick ....
i wonder if the man working on an adaptation for ghouls n ghost that was close to be arcade perfect is still working on ths hack,
I think I saw this project through your videos.
Even with unfinished project, it is great to see people doing even 1 or 2 level of a modded game or their own game, seeing everyone's passion is heartwarming thanks
I would also add Affinity Sorrow, The Cursed Legacy and maybe Golden Axe 32X Edition (which now runs on real hardware)
Thank you for sharing these with us.
Kenseiden is the most underrated Master System game of all time. I loved that game and its ( at the time ) unique game mechanics of learning new moves as you progress. A Genesis/MD sequel would be absolutely awesome!
Muito massa Master, vem muitas novidades boas pro ano que vem feliz 2024 a todos
Speaking of sound drivers.. Mega Turrican, by dev. Factor 5, had the most amazing music/FX Ive ever heard on the Genesis. -Audios Wave Slave MD driver (by Chris Huelsbeck)
14:23 Those huge sprites were a thing of true beauty. Can I see the tech demo first hand somewhere?
Nintendo and Sega, should never stopping producing new games for Mega Drive and SNES with new technologies ,as these consoles were sold milhoes around the world, and many millions are still being used,
The Megadrive RULES!!! Still the BEST!
Great video! I'd be very interested in composing music for modern 16bit games!
Kirito the Game 🤩
Amazing. 2024 may be the year I spend the most money on Mega Drive games in my entire life, and I've had mine since the early 90s lol
Which of the games featured are you most looking forward too?
Earthion, Kirito the Game and SOTN
A lot of 'em. Shoot 'em ups are going to be well represented on the Mega Drive in the coming years it seems, with Earthion, Lufthoheit, ZPF and Irena Genesis Metal Fury already looking and sounding very promising. Others i'm looking forward to are Castlevania: SoTN, Daemon Claw, , Planet B and BioEvil. Then there's Chords, which seems like a Snatcher kinda game for cartridge and could be interesting. Kai Magazine seems to be coming up strong with Life on Earth and The Secret of the Four Winds. Then there's ColocoDX, which reminds me of an old Mega Drive home brew demo called ResQ and was a fun little demo. Real Bout Fatal Fury Special would be very nice, but it does sound rough around the edges. Manifold looks impressive, even windowed like that, but some of the color choices are a bit weird in some places. All the others could become interesting as well. Overall, the new year could be one of the best for MD home brews yet! Oh and, what happened to the Crypt of Dracula game that was in development some years ago?
Have a great new year Pigsy!
Good choices, especially that last one, haha@@Akalvirp
I'm glad I'm not doing a shoot'em up, too much fierce competition there! HNY2024!@@DancesRainyStreets
Would love to have a complete StarFox MegaDrive version, but I guess its not going to happen. Also, a Doom game using Erick's manifold engine would be awesome!
Fantastic work, Pigsy! There is so much cool stuff on the way, it's overwhelming! If you're interested, this account is for a game featured in last year's video, The Viking & The Ninja. We have a few videos up, it would be great if you could take a look and share your thoughts! Thanks!
Yes definitely worth a look!
Sorry, I remember your game from last year, but didn't see any updates and so didn't include it this time. If you remember, then please drop me an email around early December 2024 with a progress report and I will include it next time for sure!
@@RetroSegaDev Thanks, Matt!
@@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorials No problem! :) Yes, I'll contact you about it next December and will try to have a demo to try out until then. Happy New Year!
Very good video and outstanding work on SOTN.
Too many games on the MD for 2024 this legendary console just refuses to get dusty.
Also thank you for mentioning Super Power Kick.
You're welcome. Looking forward to seeing more of Super Power Kick!
I’m in shock of how many games are coming to the MD. They all amazing and I was blown away of how clear the voices sounded on street fighter Alpha!
Planet B has some really nice sound, i'm not big on rogue like adventures, but I can see this one has potential.
A good video to kick off the new year!
Hey there, just wanted to say that your videos actually were a huge help for me developing and releasing my first Sega Genesis game. I never actually thought I'd be doing that honestly, and before a month ago I actually had never worked with C programming before. What a roller-coaster it was, but it was well worth it! I'm still very much an amateur, LOL. But it was still very gratifying to be able to make a game for my favorite 16-bit console.
2024 is going to be an amazing year for us retro indie enjoyers. Thank you for this!
I hope most of these great games come on a cartridge.the sega megadrive was the true winner in the 16bit power king. SEGAAAA.
The modern tools make the real difference for Mega Drive. I hope more systems mature as well in terms of modern SDKs.
awesome video, the Mega Drive is alive and well!
Had a friend who always said the Genesis was better than SNES. Makes you think sometimes.
great video, thanks for the indie game update!
hi everyone support our favorite French for the future KTG release
While physical games for this generation of consoles are becoming a thing of the past NEW physical games on Sega’s Genesis/MegaDrive sure is refreshing and exciting
Been a Genesis fan since the early 90's. It blows my mind that there is still games coming out for the system. Every year we get more replayability with a system most of us bought 30-35 years ago.
we are no longer limited by storage capacity as it was the case for cartridge based video consoles back in the 90s .
we can now make video games on snes , sega genesis that require the use of a large amount of data and store them on sd card (there are adapters)
dont forget one which is the kyatto ninden tyandee remake which will be announced in febuary
Love these videos. Love the work you are doing. Love the Sega Mega Drive.
Man watching this video at 12:20 AM on new year's made me so happy.
I only like a handful of games on the Genesis like Comix Zone, Contra Hard Crop, Streets of Rage 1 & 2 and TMNT. Felt that it doesn't really have a good catalogue but then that's almost every retro console except the Play Station(s).
Glad to see there are more games being made.
That music for ZPF is something else
I remember in 2020 home brew barely got popular. Now we have over hundreds of games coming out
Wow I want that Megadrive version of SOTN.....one of my favourite ever games!
It's not just the Mega Drive/Genesis scene, but really all of them. It's awesome if you're into such things. For example, my team is making a new Neo-Geo game. And there are at least three other Neo-Geo titles that are in the works that I am aware of coming out possibly this year. Considering there was almost nothing for many years and now all of a sudden we are amid a resurgence of new games for old consoles is an amazing time to be alive IMO.
Sou muito grato pelo excelente trabalho de todos vocês!
Igualmente pigsys feliz año nuevo para vos y todo el equipo detrás de estas maravillas
Happy new year to you too!
