Ahoy! Just a quick shout-out to say that I'm still alive and working on Tower of Zazel! I am right now working on a way to implement a global timer in the Game Boy. Here's a screenshot of the scenes I have so far! #indiedev #gamedev #itch #gbstudio #gameboy #retro #fantasy #pixelart #devdiary #WIP

Continuing my experimentation on recreating mid-90s and edutainment style textures. Including both the dithered version and the non-dithered. Would love to read what you out there think of it! #indiedev #gamedev #itch #vintage #RetroGame #retro #birds #pixelart #WIP

Ahoy! I wanted to ask for some advice and see what people think. Which of these textures do you prefer? I am aiming for textures that look as if they were from an early 90s PC educational game. Your input helps a lot! #indiedev #gamedev #itch #vintage #RetroGame #retro #birds #pixelart #WIP

Ahoy! I wanted to share with you the latest on the inventory screen since my last post! Added a character portrait. Hair, eyes, and shirt had to share the same colors. But perhaps we can bring green hair back? #indiedev #gamedev #itch #gbstudio #gameboy #retro #fantasy #pixelart #devdiary #WIP

Ahoy! You are searching a wizard's tower for loot and can only take three things. What do you take and what do you think they are? Check my Itch page to learn more! admiralalex.itch.io/tower-of-zazel #indiedev #gamedev #itch #gbstudio #gameboy #retro #fantasy #pixelart #tutorial #devdiary

I never used anything like this. But I imagine that it would be cool to make a game based on this!

Ahoy! Been working on on the title screen lately and I really wanted to show off the progress! I think the parallax effect adds to the tension and mystery in the game's setting. I need some really atmospheric music! #indiedev #gamedev #itch #gbstudio #gameboy #retro #fantasy #pixelart #devdiary

Ahoy! New dev diary, and this one is more tech-focused. Give it a read if you are also interested in how to apply color to a Game Boy game and some tips and tricks! admiralalex.itch.io/tower-of-zaz... #indiedev #gamedev #itch #gbstudio #gameboy #retro #fantasy #pixelart #tutorial #devdiary

Ahoy! New idea for the puzzle system for my game. So after trying to adapt the old to the new, I decided to rip the old puzzle system out and rebuild from scratch.
