iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

esp since it ties into a lot of things beyind just ui scale. you really have to design around a resolution. affects stuff like view distance (which changes level design), how long your dialogue lines can be, the proportions of your characters, etc

001

the screen size does a lot. ive been tempted to get one for romhacks not sure how many devs will be making new games designed to work on timy screens though

yeah the era might be over.. or maybe someone will fix mobiles games at some point idk

as an example of whats actually changed - there used to be new 2d zeldas pretty consistently every few years but now theyre a rare treat and cost full console game prices

000

playdate probably fun… im kinda tempted to get one of those retro handhelds and get really into romhacks

i think overall: - pocketable/designed for different play patterns to console - low budget/simple hardware -> lead to more small/experimental games

200

and addition.. while switch is sorta handheld, its not small enough to be casually pocketable like its predecessors, and if it was that small the games wouldn’t work at that screen size anyway

the saving grace is prob indie games but they are still publishing for essentially full tv console platforms

this kind of game still kinda exists but now theyve taken on a lot more general console game features because handhelds are now massive and have every button and can plug into a tv. also a lot less of them come out now (from eg nintendo) since these kinds of games now need full console game budgets

101

to point out specific examples..pokemon rs vs colliseum have a v different design philosophy. series like the professor layton games are very suited for handheld. there were not a lot of games in the vein of uncharted 2d zeldas were simpler controlling games with more puxxle focus, 3d more cinematic

100

theres always been a big difference i think? some specifics hardware. handheld games simply had less stuff on screen due to lower res, and less buttons. this also led to simpler graphics usually where you play. you’re not tied to a tv. lot more pick up and play.. less cinematic/spectacle games also

i rly miss handheld as its own category (mobile is not a replacement

my dream is when we eventually get over making new console generations everyone goes back to making gbc and gba games

lol (afaik this is because all plugin parameters are actually numbers from 0 to 1, and there’s a bunch of older fl plugins that don’t actually have UIs. so they just get default UI which is a list of parameters with knobs)

i like against the storm a lot! it’s a roguelike city builder. i’d say a bit different in feel for a lot of roguelikes though as you’ll probably win your early settlements and the real challenge is seeing how far you can push the difficulty

i feel like 3d is the medium that has ppl doing the most hacky bullshit day to day by far

i think personally i need a reference more often than anything else.. also think the internet has an issue where a lot of tutorial makers are not far from beginners themselves so dont fully understand why they’re doing things in the way they’re doing them and its annoying to filter to find good ones

020

easynam @easynam.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

(more seriously there’s multiple kinds of these things. there’s tutorials, which should explain why anything is done. and then there’s. how to guides? which just need to get you to a result. and references and docs which should let you randomly access whatever info you need

good video tutorial has chapters so i can skip to the 5 seconds i wanted to see and then close the tab

ive forgotten most of the details since it was so long ago.. but as far as i remember its good in the like, wrapping up the story sense and it works thematically and its satisfying but its also just a really silly plan lol

easynam @easynam.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

easynam @easynam.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

honestly I've mostly seen oc used in context of I'm an artist and here's a character I designed I like drawing, not sure that that's a fandom thing? ppl were doing it in 2008 and prob way before that
