Creating new games / software for the MTX
Posted: 31 Jan 2025 16:15
Hi all,
I wonder if there is enough interest (and time) to get to a place where enough skilled (and with the time) people to work together to create new software for the MTX. I know there are plenty of ports and long may this continue but I am thinking more specific for the MTX.
I know there are various libraries that have been created by Bill and others over the years to help with this but I am wondering as it seems many do not have the time or specific skills to complete something on their own if can we find a group of people who, working together can actually create new games etc?
I created all the levels / graphics etc for a new game I was wanting to get finished for the MTX but as Martin and I found out the skills needed to get a game running well using the z80 /VDP and SN sound chips are different to writing other kinds of software and we both decided that it needed someone with those specific skills to be able to take my ideas (and game on Godot engine for PC etc) and get it coded onto the MTX.
Just an opening idea to see what interest there is and how it can be moved forward to a place where we actually complete something
