As I was writing a description for what was going to be in the stream on my YouTube channel, I got an idea about how to handle the enemies. Oooh, this is gonna be fun. (Might have to redraw them all, though) gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #gamedev #godot #godotengine #indiegame #indiegamedev #gameboy #gamejam

It's Monday and I don't really want to be awake, so let's see what happens, eh? Probably some development, possibly some rambling, possibly me chucking it after an hour and going to play Dig-Dug. Who knows? Anyway, join me! gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #godot #gamedev #godotengine #indiegame #gamejam

It's Saturday, and one of my regulars requested this game for me: Meccha Chameleon! Watch me fail to hide and fail to seek and lag like crazy.... and even join in! It'll be fun! :D #Mecchachameleon #streaming #letsplay

Going to dive into the aspect of Godot I struggle the most with - TileMapLayers! Let's see if I can manipulate the Atlas directly to achieve what I'm envisioning - editing the tilemap while the game is running! gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #godot #gamejam #indiegame #gamedev #gameboy #SOLIDGOLD

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I did implement the stuff I wanted to implement on Monday, but that was far from everything. Today, it's *time* to add a time limit to the stores. More gameplay! Starting in a half-hour or so. gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #gameboy #gamejam

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I'm going to play one last GBJAM-14 game (I already rated it), and then it's back to work on Nostalgia Gold! I have some ideas I really want to try to implement. :D gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #godot #gameboy #indiegame #gamejam #gamedev #indiegamedev

0145

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Today is the last day for voting on GBJAM-14 games, so even though I have no specific requests, I'm going to just play random games. You can still request yours before the stream ends! gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #GBJAM14 #gamejam #gameboy #streaming #indiegame

043

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Oh, crap, lost track of time. I am streaming today! More work on the GBJAM-14-turned-CYG-14 game. gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #godot #gamedev #indiegame #gameboy #gamejam

0144

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Whoops! It's so Monday that I forgot to announce there's a stream today! Right now, in fact! I got more requests to play/rate games, so that's what I'm doing! gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #gameboy #gamejam #indiegame #godot #etc

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Day 4 of playing and rating GBJAM-14 games! Join me on Twitch or YouTube, and if you were in the jam, you can request your game on the stream! gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #gameboy #gamejam #gbjam14 #godot #gamedev

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Monday's stream turned into me playing and rating other people's entries in the GBJAM-14 jam, with more today! If you were in the jam, you can request I play your game in the #suggestions channel of my discord here: discord.gg/xUyEhkMxdv gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #streaming #gamejam #indiegame

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Well, the Gameboy Jam was a big mess, just like my sinuses this past weekend. 😷 Still, I'm back, and I'l be streaming in about an hour! (3 PM CEST) Listen to me rant about it then! Twitch stream: gtlk.link/q8hevWNl #streaming #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #godot #godotengine #gdscript

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It's been a bad week for streaming and game dev here at the ol' Pixel household. I have every symptom listed in the NyQuil commercial and no NyQuil, which has also wrecked my voice. Hopefully I'll be okay on Monday. #Gamedev #indiegamedev #streaming #no_streaming #not_today #not_tomorrow_either

0102

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Back to the GBJAM! I didn't get as much done over the weekend as I wanted, but I did do some preliminary artwork. Today I'll try to build the city (on Rock 'N Roll). Join me! gtlk.link/rnwa4YEN #godot #godotengine #gamejam #indiegame #gameboy

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

GBJAM-14 starts today, with a secondary theme of Old Gold. What does that mean? Dunno. Watch me try to brainstorm ideas on my stream in about fifteen minutes! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #godot #godotengine #gamedev #gamejam #gameboy #indiegamedev

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

It's Saturday, and Blood of Dawnwalker just released, and I got my grubby hands on a copy, so I'm gonna give it a try! As a bonus, Twitch is giving badges to people who watch and subscribe to Dawnwalker streams! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #BloodofDawnwalker #dawnwalker

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Whew, Friday. Wound up falling asleep in my chair while setting up the stream, and then OBS crashed, and it's damn warm in here. Going to be an, um, interesting stream. Bonus: it's already started! (Sort of) #indiegame #gamedev #jimothy #jimothytheraccoon #godot #godotengine

073

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Streaming today - well, the stream started already, technically. :D The catch is I'm not sure what I'm doing. Probably more Jimothy. Possibly more Chess. Maybe I'll just code for a bit and then go play video games. Who knows? Not me! #jimothytheraccoon #indiegame #gamedev #streamer #chess #maybe

082

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

The game jam is over and the submissions are finalized, but that doesn't mean I can't keep working on the game. Stream starts in about a half-hour... watch me code! Stream here: twitch.tv/greatunclepi... Game here: greatunclepixel.itch.io/jimothy #jimothytheraccoon #gamedev #indiegame #godot

0123

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

They pushed back the end of the Jimothy Jamothy to Sunday morning, so I'm adding a few more little features to the game. Join me while I see how much I can get done with the extra time I have. twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #gamejam #godotengine #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #jimothytheraccoon

0143

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

The Jimothy Jamothy ends tomorrow, so I have to start wrapping this up. (I changed the snake sprite over the weekend) Yay, a deadline for my ADHD! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #godot #godotengine #jimothy #gamejam #gamedev #indiegamedev #jimothytheraccoon

0122

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Okay! I'm back. Need a few minutes to get ready (update the stream title, open various websites, post some links around, etc), and then I'll start! #godot #godotengine #jimothytheraccoon #jimothyjamothy #indiegame #gamedev

0101

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

The Jimothy Jamothy game jam work continues. Yesterday I added more pieces, and today I'm going to start pulling the pieces together! Join me in about an hour from this post! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #gamejam #jimothytheraccoon #gamedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine

0103

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Chess is on hold, because I joined a game jam! I only have nine days to make a game, and I'm not entirely sure what I'm making yet! So watch me struggle with basic ideas. :D #indiegame #gamedev #gamejam #jimothy #jimothytheraccoon #indiegamedev #notchess

0113

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I missed Wednesday, but things should get less hectic. I'm working on a boss fight :D Mechanics are done, I just have to actually *add* the mode to the game. Join me and watch, and listen to me babble! (Still no server for online stuff yet) #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #chess #streaming

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I know I've been away for a week, but I'm back to streaming today! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... in about an hour. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #chess #streaming

A black-and-grey chessboard, with "Fighting Faechess" written across it in the classic Intellivision font. In smaller writing, it says "Press O to open options window. Press S to start new game"

072

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

I haven't been home, so there was no show on Wednesday, but to make up for it I'm going to have *two* shows today. First, a coding stream at my normal time (in about a half hour); second, a gaming stream in about twelve hours. (More on that as it gets closer) #indiegame #gamedev #godot

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Stream time! Today, what I *want* to do is start laying the groundwork for online PvP. What I might wind up doing instead is anyone's guess. Join me and find out! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #godot #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #chess

092

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

It's Saturday! That means Deponia! It also means I slept in and so I'll be starting late! Join me at 3 pm CEST instead of 2 PM this week. :D twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #deponia #letsplay #rufusisajerk #streaming #ImUsingAHintGuideThisTime

110

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Oh, no, Friday. That means - coding! I tried a thing yesterday on my non-stream day, and I'll talk about it on today's stream. (Hint: it involves sound effects) twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #godot #indiegame #gamedev #chess #indiegamedev #godotengine

182

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Wednesday, time to ... um, run some errands, actually. Damn stores don't reopen until 2:30. But I'll be back to do my stream at 3:00 CEST (-ish)! I forgot what I was going to do today, but I wrote it down, so that's good! :D twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot

0114

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

It's a bad sign that I'm having trouble thinking of something to say here. But that just means my stream will be *extra* amusing today! Watch me try to code *and* try to remember what words are at twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #godot #indiegame #gamedev #streaming #godotengine #chess

053

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Almost time for the second stream of the day, City of Heroes! Possibly my favorite game of *all time*. And I'll be playing it on a team. Join me for my first-ever co-stream, in 20 minutes! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... twitch.tv/admiralkage #CityOfHeroes #CityOfHeroesHomecoming #CityOfVillains

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

It's Thursday! ... which means no stream today, but it doesn't mean I'm not at least looking at my game a little bit. A preview: #indiegame #gamedev #chess

172

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Honestly wasn't sure whether I was going to stream today. Feelin' woozy. I think it's the heat. But it turns out - I *like* coding. So watch me code! :D twitch.tv/greatunclepi... And play the game I'm making: greatunclepixel.itch.io/chess-plus #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #stream

0134

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

After two weeks playing Homeworld, I'm back to my Breath of Fire IV playthrough! Join me in... about a half-hour, give or take. twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #letsplay #breathoffire #breathoffire4 #breathoffireiv

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Another Wednesday, another coding stream. Watch as I try to track down a most elusive little buggy-wuggy! Watch my stream here: twitch.tv/greatunclepi... Play the in-progress game here: greatunclepixel.itch.io/chess-plus #gamedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #chess #notchess

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Rudimentary battle AI in place, now to refine it so it aims more accurately. Also want to refine the chessboard AI so that it chooses moves more randomly. All starting about an hour from this post! #gamedev #indiegame #chess #godot #godotengine #chill #friday twitch.tv/greatunclepi...

183

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Probably not a surprise if you've been following this account, but it's Wednesday, which means it's time for my next coding stream! Going to see if my vague ideas on how to implement a rudimentary battle AI will work! :D #Indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #chess #godot twitch.tv/greatunclepi...

073

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Monday, time for more coding! Still working on the Vs. CPU mode. Anyone with more experience with this sort of stuff than I have (which is NONE) is free to tell me what I'm doing wrong. :D twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #gamedev #godot #godotengine #indiegame #indiegamedev #chess

093

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Oh no, I'm running late. But I'm still streaming! Thought of a couple of possible names for my chess game, dismissed them all. (Would you believe there's already *two* games called Zugzwang?) But anyway... still coding! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #indiegame #gamedev #streaming #chess

070

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

It's 2:35 pm local time, which means we're less than a half-hour away from the start of the Great Uncle Pixel Coding Stream! Today: more chess! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... www.youtube.com/@GreatUncleP... #godot #gamedev #indiegame #chess #gamedevstream #indiegamedev #lottahashtags

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Did a little graphic redesign this morning (new Berolina Pawn icon, new chessboard), but saving all of the big changes for the stream! Let's see what other fun stuff I do today. :D twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #chess #godot #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #fairychess

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Godot! Chess! Shooting stuff! Also, new Bluesky avatar. :D twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #chess #godot #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #fairychess

Chessboard, white pieces on the left, red on the right. Instead of a normal chess layout, it's a fairy chess layout of Berolina Pawns in the front row, while the back row is two Princesses, two Empresses, two Queens, and two Amazons.

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Hey, I'm actually getting an announcement in early today! Combat Chess (or whatever) stream today, and I'm... feeling good about it. Starting in about an hour and a half from the time of this post (3 pm CEST, 9 am EST) twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #chess

0121

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

It's Friday, time for a nice relaxing coding session after a nice relaxing nap. (A too-long nap. How's it nearly 3:30 already?) Time to re-work the battle system. Or maybe I'll just poke at things. We'll see. :D twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #chess

083

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Well, it's Monday again, and ... wait, it's Wednesday. (I did stream on Monday, forgot to advertise it! Oops!) My fighting chess game is coming along nicely, and I'll be doing more today. twitch.tv/greatunclepixel #chess #indiegame #gamedev #softwaredev #indiegamedev

A chessboard, with simplistic pixelated pieces. In the middle of the board are two extra pawns and two extra queens.

083

Great Uncle Pixel @greatunclepixel.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

It's Saturday, so time for another Great Uncle Pixel Gaming Stream, starting about 45 minutes from the time of this post. Once again, this week is Breath of Fire IV, part 2! twitch.tv/greatunclepi... #streaming #breathoffire #retrogaming #letsplay #breathoffire4 #BoF4 #BoF
