I'm Bofner, an 8-bit Game Designer, and founder of Steelfinger Studios! I make content on how 8-bit systems work under the hood, as well as the games and tools I make for them! Thank you for checking out my channel, and I hope you enjoy my videos as much as I enjoy making them.

Thank you all so much for the turn out on my recent Castlevania Spike Wall video! I'm so thankful for all the supportive comments and questions I've been getting about the Game Boy! I'm already begun work on the next video, but I'll keep the topic a secret for now. So I wanted to know, what systems would you like to see covered in the future?

Thanks to everyone who watched my last 2 videos on sprite flicker and slowdown! I never knew so many people were interested in learning about how these 8-bit phenomena work behind the scenes! I'm curious what kind of experience you all have with programming, especially on 8-bit machines and in assembly.

If you wanna hear me geek out live about code and graphical wizardry behind the AMAZING Sega Master System port of Darius II (Sagaia), as well as the Genesis port, then check out the YT upload of the live commentary I did for STG Weekly with my friend Prickly Angler!

I just finished up the deep dive I asked about in my last video, "How can two 8-bit systems have such different graphics?"

If you're a fan of the Master System, this one is goes into the bits and bytes that make learning about 8-bit hardware so much fun!

If you enjoyed my recent videos on how the SG-1000 and Master System graphics work, then you might enjoy this other graphics deep dive I did on the Super Game Boy last year!

I ported my Sega Master System game, Space Tonbow, to the Game Gear and PICO-8! I'll be making a video on it in more detail, but for now, enjoy the launch trailer and give the new ports a try!

It took me much longer than it should have, but the PSG and FM soundtrack to my 2024 Sega Master System game, Space Tonbow, is finally up on youtube! Give it a listen or even better, why not download it and play it on real hardware? Download can be found here! bofner.itch.io/space-tonbow

I've got something a little bit different, but still related in the works... stay tuned
