"Paul, we're doing an article about data compression techniques. We just need something that illustrates compressing data." "Say no more, Cliff."

A splash page from the October 1993 issue of Compute magazine. Floating in a vaporwave plane, in the center of a piece of graph paper, a giant ebony floating head is quadrated off; but is missing the pieces in the center. Around the head is the number 4, a triangle, the symbol for pi, a mouse cursor, and various lines of navigation. Behind the head is a sunset. Into the head's open hole flies a microchip, a semicirclular prism, a pole, and a chessboard.

We lost one of the great ones. Jurassic Park is the most influential piece of media in my life. I remember being a kid and pretending I was Dr. Grant. As a Swede, I hope he will still be annoyed from heaven each New Year's Day that we still remember the movie Ivanhoe.

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

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! It's been a while! But I wanted to show you all a GIF I made for a game jam project that I never finished. It was for a retro-themed dinosaur game where this would visualize the in-game timer 🦖 For more of my work, visit admiralalex.itch.io #indiedev #gamedev #itch #retro #Animated

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. Of course I ran into new problems but I finally did it! + a cover mock up! #indiedev #gamedev #itch #gbstudio #gameboy #retro #pixelart
