You know that feeling when you cringe while looking back at your old works? Well, future me is going to have a cringe meltdown when they read how goofy some of this NPC dialogue for this Game RPG is... 🫠 I ain't going to stop though! #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #RPG

I am definitely having a growing concern that the world in my Game Boy RPG is too easy to get lost in. I myself have had to pause and think where to go and I'm the one who designed it! 🗺️ #GameDev

I made the music for when the player is exploring the snowy plains in my Game Boy RPG! It took a few attempts to get a melody that I like going, but I'm happy with this! 🧊🎵🧊 #GameDev #GBStudio #Music #GameBoy

I have to admit that mapping out the hundreds of caves, routes, forests and towns in my Game Boy RPG is starting to feel a little tedious. Yet I know that if you don't stick with your project, even though the boring parts of development, you'll be cursed with countless unfinished projects. #GameDev

A friend of mine has recently finished a game that they've been working on for almost two years! It's "pay what you want" so anyone can try it out! chrislsound.itch.io/x-yze #GameDev #IndieGame #Godot #VideoGames #Games

~ ANNOUNCING: X-YZE ~ A bump combat action game with a mysterious short story narrative. Available for free Friday, September 26 at ChrisLSound.itch.io (it's pronounced "excise") Trailer by @alixesque.itch.io #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #GodotEngine #solodev #pixelart #bumpcombat

Art's a funny thing. When you try to make something good, it often doesn't work out, but when you're just messing about you end up creating some of your best work.

I want to add more interesting and fun characters into my Game Boy RPG but I also don't want them to be integral to the plot. I'm thinking I'd make them Dark Souls like, in that once you find them in one spot they'll move to another. Either way, I should get the world mapped out first. #GameDev

The 2nd major boss has been implemented and is ready to fight! It's just a shame that I was woefully underleveled for it in this clip... 🫠🔥🐉 #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #RPG

results of today's stream is basically getting all of these types of game objects to be placable via a tileset and also getting half of them to work lol. #gamedev #GameMakerStudio2

You could say I'm 'fishing' for compliments! 😋 #gamedev #indiedev #gameboy #pixelart

Heck! I had a mini panic just now! I thought I'd hit a point where my Game Boy RPG was no longer able to load in-game progress. Any attempt to load was going nowhere! I forgot that making ANY changes to the build after saving prevents an old file from loading. And I kept making changes... #GameDev

It's spooky! 🪦 #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #RPG

It's Undertale's 10th Anniversary ❤️ This game changed my life for the better in a multitude of aspects, and ultimately saved me. Here's a little thread about what it means to me. #undertale #undertale10th #alixesque

I redrew Specter in a 48x48 resolution so that she fits into the battle scene. She can now be fought as a boss! 🦈 #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #RPG

Phew! Today I managed to get two cave systems implemented and a small route for my Game Boy RPG! 🗺️ I also changed up some of the script to allow for more intricate puzzles! 🧩 #GameDev

A simple mini-game for my Game Boy RPG! Easy to script and takes up very little memory! 💰🐉 #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

It's kind of embarrassing how I don't have a definitive name for my Game Boy RPG yet. I wonder how many indie developers leave the naming of their game to this late... #GameDev

That time I recreated one of my favorite pieces of video game music in PICO-8. Stickerbush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2! 🎵🍌🐒🎵 #Music #Nintendo #Chiptune #Retro #VideoGames #8bit

I really like that Bluesky started notifying you when someone likes something you reposted from another user. It's nice to know that I'm sending a little extra love to posts I liked!

"The Bridge", my short, arcade-y, tower-defense-like is now up on @itch.io for anyone to play; foolhardygames.itch.io/the-bridge Use your limited crew of three to defend against an ever encroaching enemy until the infernal BRIDGE can be destroyed! #pico8 #gamedev

Progress for my Game Boy RPG... The purple areas are routes, towns, caves, forests, etc, that have been completed, while the red areas are incomplete. I think I'm just shy of having half the world made! 🗺️ #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

I'm looking forward to getting my first health upgrade in #Silksong so that I can survive three hits of damage instead of just... three?

I animated an overworld sprite for her! #GameDev #GameBoy #PixelArt #Art

A character I have planned for my Game Boy RPG. I think I'll call her Specter as she's based off of a ghost shark! 👻🦈 Her art is 192 unique tiles at 160x144 resolution with 4 colors. She's only just possible to display on a real Game Boy! #GameDev #GameBoy #PixelArt #Furry #FurryArt #Shark #Art

A comparison of load times, for my game, between the Game Boy (left) and Game Boy Color (right)! All menus, battles and maps load much quicker when played on a Game Boy Color. It also lags less in busy areas! #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

The music I composed for the boss battles in my Game Boy RPG, playing in the engines music tracker! 🎵 #GameDev #GBStudio #8bit #Music #Chiptune #GameMusic #GameBoy

Last call for the Flightless Fables Kickstarter 🔔 #indiegame #videogames #gamedev #Kickstarter

We finally have some completed boss battle music! 🎵🐉 This video also shows what the first boss battle is like, for those who didn't make it that far in the test build that is currently pinned to my profile! 🪓 #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit #Music #Chiptune #GameMusic

After multiple dismissed attempts at composing the boss battle music, I think I'm finally onto something that I like! Hopefully I'll have something complete to share soon! 🎵 #GameDev

Hear me out. Virtual Boy colors! Okay. Maybe not... #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

When played on an original Game Boy, my RPG will naturally be the classic 4 shades of green. Yet I am curious if I should share future screenshots in a grayscale tone. I'm undecided if it looks better or not. 🤔 #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

Mark your calendars! 📣 #BlackTowerEnigma #Kickstarter will be launched on September 3rd! Subscribe and be one of the first to get your copy, whether as a physical #GameBoy cartridge, Switch, or Steam copy! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ogr... #GBStudio #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

What kind of a Game Boy RPG would I have if I didn't add in some simple rock pushing puzzles! 🪨🐉 #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

It took a while to write up all the variations for the dialogue here but I think it's made for a pretty fun encounter! I wonder what options others will choose for their story! All the combinations have unique responses! 📖🐉 #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

Things might be starting to get a little bit complicated... #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

Adding #sauce to my #GBStudio game every day- Days 22-23 Working on more new areas. This is the sewer area which can be found beneath the central town. I've also been hard at work on menus which are not so exciting. Still, I am excited to show them when they are all done.

yveltal spotted in bzh chat!!

I really want to start working on little mini-games inside of my Game Boy RPG. It's just that I know they'll take up a fair bit of memory and that I really should finish the base game first to know how much memory I'll have to spare. But I really wanna... 😰 #GameDev

I wanted to express my gratitude for the continued interest in the little Game Boy RPG I'm developing. Thank you everyone! It means a lot to me! ❤️

I updated the encounter script for my Game Boy RPG. It's now marginally less laggy. It now also prevents the player from walking slightly away from the encounter point when holding a movement direction down. I dare say it's also introduced a slew of new bugs too... 🐛 #GameDev #GBSutdio #GameBoy

I've been having fun using my tilesets tiles in unique ways. For example, using the bridge leg tiles on a building makes it look like a grate for water to pass through! This is useful as I'm at the 192 unique tile limit on the tileset! 🐉 #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

I got a lot of game development done today. I can now play video games for the rest of it while only suffering from a minimal amount of guilt! 🎮 #GameDev
