The Global version of Medabots Survivors is out as of today!

After 13 years, I finally released my game! It's a cozy narrative game with light platforming, with one cute dragon! Works great on a Steamdeck; take it on the go or play on PC! So happy. I released. Onto the next project. :'''') Link - store.steampowered.com/app/893710/ #gamedev #indiedev

Over on the Arduboy forums, I've put up a $150USD bounty for anyone who can find a safe way to switch between two different games. If anyone is able to do this, I'll finally be able to add a lot more features to my Bytes and Knights game! community.arduboy.com/t/150usd-bou...

Here's a recent homebrew project I made to put real-time 3D shading on the Game Boy Color! This one involved some interesting math and GBZ80 assembly. I describe it in detail in my blog post here: blog.otterstack.com/posts/202512... #gbdev #homebrew #techart #retro #3d

Merry Gexmas to all those who celebrate it!

Imagineer has just announced pre-registration for a global version of Medarot Survivor under the title "Medabots Survivor", making Survivor the first Medabots game to be released overseas since Medabots Infinity wayyyy back in 2003

Just released my Pebble watchface! It's a 1:1 recreation of the title screen for Pokemon Red/Blue, even with the animations! I have several color modes and even had to recreated all of the sprites in 1-bit form. 😅 Love this watch so much!

After a huge amount of effort, I am releasing the 3.0 update to my Bytes and Knights game for Arduboy! 12 new cards, 3 new opponents, substantially improved AI, and more! #IndieDev

I did it! I finished programming the Pokedex for the Arduboy FX! It contains all sorts of details for each of the original 151 Pokemon, including stats, evolutions, abilities, and even footprints. Another cool feature is that you can mark each Pokemon as caught or favorited. 🫡

LET'S GOOOOO!!! The Supreme Court in Europe threw out Kevin Comadran's appeal! It's OVER for his scam! Medabots is now in the hands of the rightful owners! Let's hope Imagineer sues him for damages, now! www.imagineer.co.jp/news/article...

I got in my Magi-Nation haul from their reboot Kickstarter. Been so overwhelmed with getting married (twice) and moving, so I will soon be able to finally play some matches with some friends.

Why did Travis Scott build Yuri barracks from Red Alert 2?

I finally got in the proxies I designed/printed for a Kung Pow-themed Magic: The Gathering Commander deck. I have friends who make wacky-themed decks, so I thought it would help inspire me with a starting point since I am pretty bad at MTG. The deck list is here: moxfield.com/decks/Cf6vqS...

Living in Korea has a lot of perks, like being able to attend the yearly Pokemon Town event in Seoul, each year. But, this time, there is a twist because it's themed after Ditto, and there is even a Korean-exclusive Pokemon card as part of its Metamong Project. #메타몽프로젝트

At the Korean League for Pokemon, again! Playing another rogue deck! Let's see if my Steelix/Dodrio deck can stand a chance! First round is about to start! Let's go! #코리안리그 #광주 #포켓몬카드

Every year, there is a rotation that happens in the Pokemon TCG, making older cards unusable in the standard format. This year, an unusually high number of my decks are becoming impossible to use as critical cards rotate out. 😥 So, I wanted to break down each one for you.

Decided to do some pixel art, today. I think a small fighting game with these kinds of sprites would be so cool. These would also translate to 1-bit pretty easily, too. #PixelArt

After a lot of headache and fighting through depression, I was finally able to re-upload Circuit Dude on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The updates don't include many changes, but I realized I hadn't posted about this game in a while and wanted to share. ☺ #IndieDev #GameDev

After a huge amount of effort, I am releasing the 3.0 update to my Bytes and Knights game for Arduboy! 12 new cards, 3 new opponents, substantially improved AI, and more! #IndieDev

My Playdate pirate-themed game, Treasure Chasers, is part of the Playdate Catalog sale, so you can get it for just $1, right now! 🦜 🏴‍☠️

Working on a cool Pokemon title screen Pebble watchface for the on-going hackathon! I currently support several color modes, including a 1-bit recreation and both Red/Blue versions. More pics and animations, soon!

I am working hard to get Bytes and Knights 3.0 released as soon as I can. I overhauled the AI and also programmed 12 new cards to fill in gaps in the gameplay, allowing me to update the each NPC's deck and even make 2 new characters to play against. I'll release when I finish the card art!

Did you know that the 1998 Tiger Electronics Pokedex has unique monochrome sprites that have never been extracted? I was considering making a Pokedex app for the Arduboy and trying to dump the ROM. Would anyone use this? Or even want to help me with reverse engineering?

My Playdate game, Treasure Chasers, was just updated to 1.2! This version fixes several bugs and includes some updated graphics! You can get it from Catalog, but it is also available on my personal website. Thanks, @play.date ! Catalog: play.date/games/treasu... My site: www.crait.net #GameDev

The most recent video game that I made, Bytes and Knights, was so fun that I just had to make a physical version! It's really awesome to see my Arduboy game come alive like this!

** It's happening!! ** We managed to convince Google to open source PebbleOS. Took a while, but they just did it today! github.com/google/pebble With that, we're bringing Pebble back! I blogged about it - ericmigi.com/blog/why-wer...

On the Arduboy forum, I released a guide on how to implement mutliplayer over I2C/Qwiic with automatic handshaking, as well as source code that you can use in your own game. 😄 It's been a while since I've released any kind of guide for the Arduboy. community.arduboy.com/t/how-to-eas...

Wait. In Futurama, Fry was 25 when he was frozen in the year 2000... That means he would be 50, today! 🥴

This would be good on the Arduboy or Playdate!

Merry Christmas! (I post this each year on Twitter because of the Medabots scammers. Haha.)

Bytes and Knights for the Arduboy FX is finally released! It's a full trading card game that I designed and shrunk down to the Arduboy; I also did all the programming and pixel pixel art, so I am really proud of how good it came out! community.arduboy.com/t/bytes-and-... #ScreenShotSaturday

Wow! With the release of the newest set, Terastal Festival, the meta looks to be shaking up quite a bit! The amount of viable decks is quite impressive! Big props to the Pokemon TCG game designers.

Happy #MEDAROTDAY2024 ! I already posted about my Korean Medabot cards, but I also found some vintage Medabots "딱지" (similar to POGS) from 1999. Because of video length restrictions, I can't post the full unboxing, so I'll just share pics of the box and 메다로트 딱지. 😀

As ya'll know, I'm a HUGE Medabots fan. Even though merchandise is impossible to find in Korea, where I live, I managed to find some Korean Medabots (메다로트) cards from 1999! Little info is online, but I think it's a translation of the JP TCG, instead of the EN TCG.

Hey, game dev people! 😎 My name is Holmes and I live in South Korea. I worked as a tool developer (and even did some game design) at a few studios in Texas. Now, I am doing a lot of homebrew game dev for obscure platforms: PS Vita, PalmPilot, Switch, PlayDate, Arduboy, SBC's... Let's connect! 🕺

Quick preview of the updates for my Arduboy TCG! I finished the queue system to support an AI opponent or opponent over I2C link cable, as well as implemented all card effects. I still need to implement combat and a lot of the animations and graphics, but I am liking the current status!

I finally completed the SV151 Pokemon card set, including all promos and reverse holos (in Korean). This is my favorite modern Pokemon set! 😀 #포켓몬 #포켓몬카드

Oh, I was hoping the number would be lower... I was trying to get a registration key for so long. 😅

Upgraded to an Arduboy FX over the weekend (on board storage for multiple games). Then I bought three more to give to some of my more code inclined friends to mess with. Then I preordered the Mini. I love this platform so much. Cheap, whimsical, simple, literally fits in your wallet.

Sure! Arduboy is an Arduino-based game system with 32KB of memory. It can only hold one small game at a time, but an updated version came out with a lot more memory, but still small enough to fit in a wallet. The expanded memory even allowed me to make a video player for it!

Very cool! This app finally supports GIF and videos! Here is the new Arduboy game I have been working on, Bytes and Knights... It's a simple MTG-like card game with a few twists and will support the i2c link cable in the Arduboy Mini. This intro cinematic took me 8 hours to make. 😅 #GameDev #GamJam

I created some artwork for my favorite Crazy Bone, called Mutant Joker. Over the last 3 months or so, my Photoshop skills have greatly improved. You might not be able to tell by this specific image, because it's kind of supposed to be ugly.

I cannot believe there is a giant wiglett dakimakura announced for Japan... I think I will need to go get one. 😫

My Arduboy Video Player for the Arduboy FX is finally released! To show it off, I put the most classic video I could think of onto the device! You can download everything you need from my website, GitHub, or the community forum: community.arduboy.com/t/arduboy-vi... (I wish I could upload a vid)

Hey, followers! 🤖 There's a special where you can buy an Arduboy with a Cyber Monday discount to get access to a limited edition black Arduboy that features one of six indie game cover arts, such as one for my game, Circuit Dude! ⚡ You can use this link: www.arduboy.com/shop/p/speci...
