Here's a video showing a little more gameplay, with my friend trying to play the game as best he could. Even though he's not a fan of modern titles, he found the game very frenetic and fun.
I still need to improve the music synchronization a lot, I feel like the main point of the game isn't good enough, plus I need to optimize the code to remove the slowdown at some points.

The video shows the basics of bullet rhythm, but it is already possible to understand the concept. There is still a lot to be done.
Remember, you can participate in the design of the graphics and other details of the game, just talk to me if you are interested.
This game will be free to everyone, but only supporters will be able to join the project as team members if they want to collaborate.
All those who test and give suggestions that are used or bugs that need to be fixed...

There are still many things to do, but one thing is impressive and shows that I'm on the right track: I've become addicted to my own game, which is rare!
I know the still images show simplified graphics, but soon when you see it in motion, you might change your mind.
I ask for a little more patience because it will be worth it.

So, folks, I took a short break from Final Fight MD to cool off and deal with some annoying bugs and coding habits I need to eliminate from my brain. This will help me come back refreshed and look at the code from a new perspective. The goal is still to finish it by the end of February.
Recently, I’ve been pretty focused on Bullet Rhythm and realized many important details must be included. I postponed its release a bit to ensure you’ll have an incredible...

As I'm almost finishing Final Fight MD, this thought crossed my mind.
I know some people have been with me since the beginning and have always supported me, even during the times when development was on hiatus for various reasons. However, with many new supporters joining recently, I need to have some direction.
Everyone's opinion is very important to me, as it can help define what my future projects will be.
If it's something different from these two options, please pos...

First of all, I’d like to clarify that I won’t be releasing a new version of FFMD this Christmas. It will probably come out on the last day of the year with some important fixes and updates. I was planning to release a public ROM as well, but I decided to save that for the final version.
The game is scheduled to be completed by the end of February, as I’ll be taking a vacation on February 10, giving me 15 consecutive days to dedicate to programming.
I decided to push back the c...

My fingers hurt a little, but the adrenaline is worth it. I still need to refine the gameplay.
Some songs will be a walk in the park; others will be hell on earth, so keep your fingers ready. And I'll warn you right now that using controls with turbo will not do any good.

Guys, unfortunately, a supporter leaked the ROM on a Mediafire server, among other places, which unfortunately disrupts the project in several ways. I don’t take this as a sign of disrespect towards me, but rather towards the other supporters who are part of this project and have the right to early access and participation in testing. For this reason, I will finish fixing some known bugs and release a public ROM soon.
Despite this leak, I had hoped to finish the game this year, but I ...

Hey everyone!
I've made a few changes to the code in hopes of improving stability, especially when playing with two players. It's still true that we have performance issues with 2 players in certain areas, and we might still encounter crashes, particularly when continuing after losing all lives. That being said, I’d really appreciate it if anyone could test this version and provide feedback.
Here's the changelog:

After a brief hiatus due to technical issues with my PC, I'm back and should release another version with bug fixes in a couple of days.
Now I have to ask, would you prefer me to move forward with round 6 even though I'm aware of some bugs, or would you prefer me to polish it better before moving forward?

Note: Guys, download the file FFMD_Patreon_24-11-15+ (with the plus) as I fixed an error that caused a crash with Cody when entering Round 3-1 (Thanks, Lucas M.).
Note 2: Oh no, one more severe bug was found, but this time is on the continue screen. Download the "Plus Plus" file.
Even though there are bugs to be fixed and many details to be completed, I don't think it's fair for supporters to wait any longer. Here are the ROM changes for you, and I’m sure I mig...

I went back in some stages and applied new techniques that I started using in later stages. Now, the subway is the right height like the arcade, and with parallax, it breaks the limit of the Mega Drive HUD window.

It's in the early stages, but all the plans are preserved, including the parallax that isn't present in the SEGA CD version.
There are a lot of things to be done, as this round is the biggest in the game and has the most cutscenes. If I have time enough and my health helps, there is a chance I might finish the game this year.

Well, folks, I'm feeling more inspired than usual. Round 4-1 is already 100% complete, I skipped round 4-2 for now because I plan to try some technical tricks for it, but I'm not sure if they'll work out.
To not lose this wave of inspiration, I finished the setting, animations, and masks for the Bay Area; I just needed to position the objects and enemies. I might change a color here or there, but I consider it 95% done.
I haven't programmed Rolento and Abigail yet, and I still nee...

The physics, map, and structure for Round 4-1 are ready, and now I need to adjust the flames and add objects and enemies. I admit I took longer to adjust the background images than to program.
I made a small change regarding the height of the lava, raising it compared to the arcade version so that it appears near the grates. Due to the HUD window limits on the Mega Drive, this stage is positioned lower than in the arcade version, and it would be a waste for the lava to be so close to th...

One more time, why not?
- Players falling from the sky now deal less damage to enemies and no longer kill them.
- Adjusted Sodom’s run hitbox to allow players to jump over the enemy.
- Changed the behavior of Andore’s jump smash, allowing players to jump to avoid the attack.
- Fixed a bug that allowed the player to interrupt the throw and suplex by pressing the jump button.
- Corrected the height of frames and depth of all enemies, characters, and objects.

Since yesterday, several details have been fixed, many of them important to maintain the game's stability. I recommend downloading and testing this new version.
- Shadows removed, keeping only Andore's, as per the arcade version.

- Implemented additional frame overflow checkpoints to avoid addressing failures.
- Added a defragmentation point in Round 3-1 to allow more enemies on screen at the start.

Well, folks, I had to wait for my vacation to improve the code as much as possible and then move on to the next stages. There are still bugs, but I believe I’ve reached a much more acceptable level of quality compared to all previous versions, especially regarding the hitboxes, which have become much closer to the arcade.
I still need to address some issues with the animations to make them more accurate and improve the behavior of certain enemies. Still, in any case, I believe the res...

The time has come to program the tracks with the right weather, behavior, and consistent graphics. I admit this will be a big challenge because the tracks, weather, graphics, and design will dictate how Driftin' Rage will be known in addition to the gameplay.

As everyone knows, Driftin' Rage is my current original game that keeps me sane (since FFMD drives me crazy for various reasons).
In the current development, the drifting system is almost ready, the circuit mode is working, and I plan to create an editor mode at some point.
The track curves are better now with a more reliable "fake 3D" effect, but it's still far from what I want to create.
Another change that might be positive for some YM2612 lovers is that I updated all the...
