I know about the Smart Response XE! Other than that, no... 😥 I have always wanted to make something with the Arduboy and a full keyboard smashed together!

Hey, ya'll! I'm showing off Bytes and Knights - Adventure at @bitsummit.bsky.social in Kyoto! Come check out and play on PC, Switch, and even Arduboy! Ask me how you can get some free cards, too. 😉

I actually have a windowless version that runs in the command line so that I can train a neural network to play against.

Really happy with how these acrylic Bytes and Knights cards came out! I'll have them with me at my booth (1F-D49) next week at @bitsummit.bsky.social if you're in Japan! 😀 😀

Here's a quick video of it running on an Arduboy and PC as a little comparison. 😀

Haha. I was considering doing something like this! No joke!

Ohh, not bad!!

This one has too many buttons. 😅😅😅

crait 🐔 (Jonathan Holmes) @crait.bsky.social · 17/04/2026
I was thinking the same thing, but it might confuse people who play my game... They might think they also need custom hardware or something to play the PC game. I'll use this as my last resort, though!
010
crait 🐔 (Jonathan Holmes) @crait.bsky.social · 17/04/2026
Mmm, yeah, I've seen these... Way too many buttons. Haha. I just need 5. 😅

crait 🐔 (Jonathan Holmes) @crait.bsky.social · 16/04/2026
Does anyone know if any USB gamepads exist that only have a single button and D-pad? I can only find Atari-like joysticks... (Yes, it's for my Arduboy game. 😅)

Why not ask an N-Gage collector to measure one for you?

I've called myself a true fan for years... but I hadn't even known that there was a fan translation for this. 😫

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

If you complain about this to most people, they usually will say, "You should have known, already. Everyone knows that. You just need to plan ahead better." 💀 I hate when people act like that...

crait 🐔 (Jonathan Holmes) @crait.bsky.social · 05/02/2026
I hate YouTube Shorts, Instragram Reels, and any other app that is copying this stuff... Please no more crap like this.

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...

The price seems to be back to the normal price. What gives?

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

crait 🐔 (Jonathan Holmes) @crait.bsky.social · 27/12/2025
I was also thinking the same thing. Heck, lean into it and just add a few completely incomprehensible to throw people off a little, too.

Merry Gexmas to all those who celebrate it!

It's gotten worse... It's so incomprehensible and the inclusion of AI features all over the place is why I'll stick with the Win 10 version.

crait 🐔 (Jonathan Holmes) @crait.bsky.social · 07/12/2025
That would legit be sick.

Same. For the sake of helping encourage more releases, I'm no longer a hater.

This was my third game. First and second were Ape Escape and Tony Hawk.
