Freebie Fridays! superpixeltime.johnnylml.com

Today’s Freebie Friday results from the comment section of a previous post. There, Drew and I lament the lack of solutions for procedurally generating quality pixel art, either through rendering or post-processing.

Freebie Fridays! Minitools Partition Magic

Elsewhere, in the book and course, I advise game makers to develop their creations on a separate partition (as well as a NAS at the very least). That way, if the OS wrecks it doesn’t take thousands and thousands of hours of work with it. To that end I recommend Minitools Partition Magic for disk

Freebie Fridays! Recalbox MAME Frontend.

My MAME cabinet uses Recalbox. It’s lacking in certain areas but possesses one killer feature that makes it ideal for the Wall Candy Cab: native support for Raspberry Pi 2’s GPIO pins!

What Can I Get Away With Wednesdays? NAS (Network Attached Storage) For Free?

For many game developers, their developing game is the most precious thing they own. But the game itself is ones and zeros. It is electrical signals and magnetic polarizations, fleeting, etheral, at times volatile; ownership of such things is tenuous at best. How do you ensure that the precious ones and zeros stay put?

In keeping with a Kinect theme, here is a free Unity Asset Store Asset that features Playmaker Actions for the Kinect (you all know how much I love both Playmaker and Kinect)! From the product
