Here's a break down of the steps to produce the result. On the left are two raw noise patterns Those get thresholded to b/w, they're the bitplanes They get decoded into pixels for each colour Then the colours are applied Finally the 4 sets of pixels are combined into the 8x8 tile

Am I making a 2-bit-per-pixel palette-based rendering for a randomized 8x8 tile in davinci resolve fusion? ... yes #davinciresolve

Hm, I didn't expect the views on this to flatline so quickly Oh well, at least I had fun with it and I'm satisfied with how it turned out. It also gave me an excuse to play with blender, so that was fun! I think I learned more making this video than I have in a while

Interested in making a retro style game but not what options are out there? Here are 7 paths you can take to get started: youtu.be/ayrthveE1bQ

Making good priorities again! and more #blender playing The game boy is actually a 3d model that I made and textured. Couldn't have just used a flat image, nope. The moving grids are animated tiled textures. The "road" uses an image sequence, the "floor" animates by moning the UV coords.

Made some more movie covers to add variety

Added more detail to this #blender scene. I think the improvement-to-effort ratio is getting a lot lower now though... There are a few details I want to add, and probably make more movie covers. I'm not sure if it's getting close to "good enough" though 😬

Trying to get some randomization going. I have the number of copies in each stack randomized and each copy in a stack has a random side to side shift so they look more natural. I also want more movie covers but that requires making a bunch more of them

more blender work on the shelves. Look at all those copies of the exciting new thriller! maybe I should finish the script for the video this is for...

look as this beautiful wire shelf I made!

I wanted to see if I could add myself to the blockbuster scene. Looks very "green screeny" but still pretty good for a first try. I did the my rotation by just spinning on my heel.

pro tip, if you don't know about seams and marking seams in blender then UV unwrapping doesn't make any sense Learning!

write one simple line in a script and suddenly I'm thinking about modeling an aisle in a blockbuster for a dolly zoom

I've been obsessively futzing around with blender motion tracking with no clear goal in mind. I think I've learned a bit and maybe it's given me more idea fodder. Kinda annoying to have my attention so consumed by it though

Want to listen to me go on about custom Game Boy cartridges and ROMs for 10 minutes? Here you go! youtu.be/bD3lWIkr79Q It's based on some conversation and thinkings stemming from bsky.app/profile/thal...

Yay I'm testing negative now! Soon I'll be able to snuggle my kids again soon! We fared pretty good. My partner got it but she was better before me and we managed to keep the kids from getting it!

I am having a lot of trouble recording this video. First try I plugged my mic in wrong then I lost power second try (on batteries) I ran out of space on my sd card

Hi! I made a Chrome extension that highlights creeps from the Epstein emails. Depending on how much news you read on your computer, enabling it might be really depressing. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ep-li...

We all laughed when the kids got the brain implant. They said it was for a better world. We said they were naive or stupid. There's no way when all the implanted voted in 5 years, even if nothing was better, they'd let the tiny bombs in their heads go off. When it happened no one called them stupid

turns out it's covid. awesome

oh good looks like I'm getting sick. I love that for me

jeez, I'm looking to see the availability of parallel flash memory chips and it is SLIM PICKINGS! wow

I spent a bunch of time trying to make business cards. I think I have it all designed and aligned and stuff. I can just print a pdf double sided and cut them in my cricut I don't have anyone to give business cards to though. They have my phone number on them, why would I give anyone that?

I kinda want to get into streaming because I want an excuse to play around with OBS

I'm trying to figure out narratives so I made a short story thing about getting started making Game Boy games youtube.com/shorts/h2bP9... Is it perfect? no Is it a good try? sure did I finish something? yup!

I'm pretty sore today. In other news I made this silly video yesterday

some how I finished editing another video! hope you enjoy! what genre was your first game? #gbstudio #indiegamedev #gamedev youtu.be/TyGJlLaxF64

I use a canon r50 for my filming and it's usually in a cage (metal enclosure to give more mounting options). I took it out today and it reminded me how delightfully small it is.

One of these days I'm going to convince myself that it'll be ok if I put off preparing my kids' school lunch till the morning and it will not be ok. It will be terrible

MORE GAMES! also, it was awesome to find someone doing a video similar to what I make. I love to see how someone else approaches the topics

Thanks for all the love on my new video! It's already exceeded my expectations! Should I make more? This one took me two months of tinkering #indiegamedev #gameboy #gbstudio

Hey cool! This video has gotten over 1k views in its first 10 hours. I think that's the first time one of my videos broke 1k in the first day

Make me some more #gameboy games! I'll even help you get started youtu.be/Mls4oIS2Rbw

you know, I'm something of vfx artist myself

I spent a bunch of time getting this juuuuust right. It's the ending of a video I'm working on. Since it's at the very end it'll probably be seen by like 20% of viewers I was working on it instead of doing the more impactful but super boring task of going through the video to add visuals and b-roll

More playing with editing and trying to make an interesting sequence of shots might use it for some video with a voice over maybe

I'm being motivational

apparently 2 days ago my video introducing GB Studio (youtu.be/iiJLRNQgjNk) had an RPM (how much money I make per 1000 views) was CA$132. If only it had more than 9 views that day... 😛 A buck 20 ain't bad though!

I swear, you could teach an entire graduate level compilers / static-analysis class just about the game boy

I wrote up a post going over some of my youtube channel's analytics. Figured it could be helpful for other small youtube channels. www.systemoflevers.com/blog/2026/01...

Well I didn't get unreasonably lucky, the new broken camera didn't turn out to be working. I did get a little lucky though. The camera had a 256GB sd card in it. It's pretty slow, 50MB/s. But still, it's value more than makes up for the shipping cost!

I posted my 2026 plans to my kofi and patreon supporters ko-fi.com/post/2026-Pl... www.patreon.com/posts/2026-p... The summary is: - I'm hopping to post videos more often - I have a few videos in the works - I'm hoping to get to some old projects/ideas gotta pay me for more deets 💰

Well, I bought a broken one off ebay... who needs to make good decisions It doesn't power on, so hopefully it has the same problem mine had. It was a common fault apparently, so good chance.

Well this isn't a great start to 2026... At least it's within the 90 purchase insurance for my credit card
