Today I learned about Kaeru no Ehon (The Frog Picture Book?) - Adventure for the Lost Memories, a seemingly obscure JRPG for the PS1 released in 1999 -- visually -mildly- reminiscent of Breath of Fire 3, of course there's no English translation 😛 Bold of them to use Comic Sans on the title screen!

Oops all battle themes! A deep cut from Chrono Trigger this time. I edited together my recreation of the old mockup screenshot that is basically the North American box art. Been meaning to make this one for a while.

More last minute dev commentaries. Trying to give some love to some of our great musicians:

❤️❤️❤️

Love it!

New upload this week! 🥳 If I'm not careful, this channel is gonna become Oops All Boss Themes!

Finally beat sci-fi RPG "Lagrange Point" (Famicom, 1991). An interesting game for sure, somewhat unique in that it was created through the project Game Kōbō, a partnership between Konami and Famicom Magazine to commemorate their 100th issue, allowing readers to participate in the game's creation.

Endgame, here we come! (Game is Rudra no Hihou / Treasure of the Rudras)

the "pa ka pa" is meant to be like a "throat-popping" sound. (frogfolk use them as para-linguistic interjections) idk about recording it as a sfx tho... #pixelart #indiedev

Progress so far this week on the way towards a beta demo: Enemies have their different projectiles now, so i have a lot of flexibility going forward when it's time to iterate and jam content. #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

I'm tired, boss.

I'm a game design genius

Working on the developer commentary for Quartet. 😈

"Kids Run Through the City" is a lovely theme. ❤️

Slotting issue with my Super Nt tonight. Got a blackout screen. As it's happened a few times before with various carts, I already knew my saves got wiped. A rare sight, however: A title screen without Exor. Normally you'd only see this when starting the game for the very first time, with no saves.

These sprites were made to keep the momentum going for the Asset Alliance project, and in general to encourage the pursuit of handmade pixel-art and game dev "for its own sake". In the meantime, download here on my itchio pixel art shoppe: finalbossblues.itch.io/16-char-spri...

Live now!

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the Mini-Mario ability prevents music from changing properly in some cases. This can lead to a variety of unfitting music scenarios such as "Mournful Surfing", whereby Mario will surf joyfully at a sunny beach while tragic music is playing.

And here's an example of Thomas using this very technique for the tilesets in Quartet.
