12.03.2026 - Video: Sonic on the Amiga? - Palette Panic! #1 (Dev Log Mar '26)
In this video RetroRic is helping reassembler68k with graphics for his Amiga Sonic project, where the goal for this build is to fit the background layer into a single 16-colour palette on the Amiga 1200. We take the original Green Hill Zone background from Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Mega Drive, analyse the colours it uses across the Mega Drive palettes, and then crunch those 20 background colours down to 16 while keeping the scene looking right. Along the way RetroRic explains how the Mega Drive palette works, which colours are locked, how to decide what can be removed, and how to fix the tiles after the palette changes so the background still looks correct.

11.03.2026 - C64 game 'Tony do it!' released
'Tony Do It!' is a small yet highly enjoyable puzzle game inspired by the classic Sokoban. Your objective is simple: place all the crates onto the spots marked with crosses. However, the mechanics offer an interesting twist - you can not only push the crates but also pull them by pressing the Fire button, adding new tactical possibilities. The levels feature additional challenges. Scorpions and wandering natives roam the chambers. They won’t kill you, but direct contact will drain your remaining time more quickly, forcing you to think and act fast. You can get the game as digital download for a bargain (name your own price) to support the developer.

The video shows the latest WIP build of the technical testbed, this time showcasing planet Alpinia for a change of scenery from all that desert landscaping of previous previews.
