Turns out, at least two of us can make games, so I guess this makes for a good thread. Input or your own projects welcome.

Right now, personally I'm working on an idea for a strategy rogue-like. I'm not sure whether to make it turn-based or real time.
I am leaning turn-based though, for path-finding reasons, making performant path-finding in real time strategy games is very annoying, doubly so if you have randomly generated maps. I have no idea how the hell Tiberian Sun pulled that off in the late 90s.

I need to get off my ass and get back into game dev. I was working on a bunch of shit like around 6 years ago and all those projects are dead and I can't be bothered to get back to them. I made a super lazy html5 game framework thing last year so I would be able to make a bunch of small games for funsies, and the only game I made with it is the sample game.

I am making a music theory practice game for the Game Boy in assembly, 3 out of the planned 4 minigames are done however I've been putting off making the last one because it's going to be more complicated than the others

Yeah, you should. I'm thinking of posting my game once any substantial progress has been done here, so that people can talk about it here.

Oh, a music theory practice game? That's interesting. I may have to play that, because I could use training on music theory.
(I recognize that it probably doesn't teach and only reinforces.)

Good luck with your final minigame!

Yes, it just trains you to recognize chords and intervals, although I will likely distribute it with a text file that explains what they all are
I considered including a tutorial in the game, however that would require reading a lot of text on the tiny Game Boy screen, and anyway I don't really think I'm qualified to be teaching anything ^_^;;
Good luck with your game as well!

There are some old SEGA games that have not been properly recreated/emulated for use on other hardware.
I think I will have to do it myself.

Today I wrote a mode system and a quick replacement to require for my game.
Unfortunately the mode system is fucking ass and I'm promptly replacing it despite the fact it is technically complete, so I really only got my require() replacement finished. Still happy with that progress.
