My latest procrastination side quest has been trying to make my own HTCG! Not sure what it will become, or if I'll finish it, but I'm having a lot of fun designing the cards and making the card art! #HTCG #TCG #Inkscape

I have been back on FFT making slow but steady progress. I have finished building all 16 main playfields in the game (as well as a few extra supporting fields) and wanted to share this wallpaper with you all! 4K version is available on Discord: discord.gg/ZUHHpBqQWR 🤗
The Fantasy Football Tactics logo is seen centered on the screen in black text with white outline. There is a graphic designed ball behind it in the center that fades from teal at the top to white on the bottom. In the background we see 16 isometric low poly playfields from the game, ranging from a volcano, bridge, castle to frozen tundra and even a giant blue jay with rainbow particle effects trailing behind.

Trying to unify my game UI by using the same bookmark icon for the pause menu button in all my scenes. Been away for a while on summer vacation and all that, but back and working on the game again now! Hoping to finish the UI update soon, but there's still a lot of items left on the todo list..

I couldn't come up with short descriptions for some of my game settings, so I added this info box. Feels like a duct tape solution, and it needs some refinement, but it works unless I come up with something better.

With regards to that last repost, reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. Everyone following me? DO THIS NOW! I'm asking for replies so more folks pick this up, and continue it. Please take this graphic and ask your followers to do the same!
"Goto your Steam™ library

Leave a review for a smaller game you like

Now tell me what it was"

There's a very crudely drawn Steam logo in the middle. In the bottom right, there's an even crudely-er drawn frog, and the sideways text reads "I am a graphic design terrorist"

Oh good idea! I think this would work just as well! Not sure about having the circle pattern behind the piece image, but can’t say there was a lot of thought behind the original placement to begin with. Just thought it looked a little flat and empty out to the right. Sorry for the Pokemon scare 😅🙈

Lage | Chesto: A chess-like adventure @bergberggames.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
Yes, just the aesthetics! I feel like the menu I have now is quite plain and boring looking, but UI design is not my strong suite, so I though I could use the Pokémon one for inspiration. I was thinking something like this. What do you think?

I’m going to rework the “piece selection” menu for my custom chess piece game. I’m thinking of taking inspiration from this team menu in Pokemon. Thoughts? What’s the best party select UI in a game?

This just saved my ass! I was flipping a card inside a container, but on my laptop screen it was bugging out for one frame in the middle of the animation. Using "offset_transform_scale:x" instead of just "scale:x" solved it!

Perhaps something like this could work with a controller as well.. Hmm.. Still feels a bit cluttered, but I'm not sure what I can do about it.

Lage | Chesto: A chess-like adventure @bergberggames.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
Not entirely sure about this UX flow.. The flip animation feels ok, but the placement of the buttons is tricky. The Shy Ghost transforms into a Banshee, so there needs to be some way to navigate to the Banshee from the Shy Ghost, and then back. Any input or feedback is appreciated!
