If you have the time It's very fun to setup a Fieldstation42 off a raspberry pi. I just have custom TV channels playing scheduled media now with retro commercials as filler to keep things on schedule

I'm not home to check, but it should be possible. I have a project that loops through all tiles in a tilemap layer to make different adjustments/repaints based on specifications, I don't see why a paring bit wouldn't be just as viable to query Tile by Tile

The entire save/load game system is 100% done and works. The intro title sequence also properly manages all of this and lets you make new games, delete them etc. Vertical slice of all the systems nearly complete!

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 19/09/2026

Been busy on Dissertation work and a lot of systems coding in Vorpal Queen so not too much to show off, but worked out the magic system a bit and have 3 finished "Tome Spells." Also showing off the CC.0 CRT shader I'm using. #IndieDev #GameDev #Fairies #PixelArt #ドット絵 #8bit #SoloDev #Godot #retro

oooh I probably follow them from way back

I should have a demo out sometime this year of a project I'm working on as a love letter to Zelda 2 and Kid Icarus. You can see some videos in my profile.💅

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 01/09/2026

I'd say this would be ratioed hard, but no one here cares about Unity lol

Why do you hate the Beach Boys? Wow, unfollowed. smh.

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 25/08/2026

they make great games and a lot of us share stuff and get feedback

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 22/08/2026

the 30% cut is just too much--especially with added publisher cuts. It's borderline 80s/90s Nintendo stranglehold on licensing fees + cartridge costs. I think developers were getting like 30% take-home revenue in those days lol

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 22/08/2026

If I have the option, I always buy on itch because I know the dev gets the most money, or even if they direct sell Steam codes.

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 22/08/2026

İt's a good platform for DRM free builds compared to GOG which takes a 30% cut for some odd reason compared to Steam taking the same astoundingly large cut.

Release Date when please? 🥺

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 16/08/2026

god your art has such a fucking vibe

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 15/08/2026

Added my favorite feature just in time for #ScreenShotSaturday. Bomb-able walls like beloved classic #Zelda, but missing from Adventure of Link. You'll have to keep an eye out in The Vorpal Queen for many secrets! #IndieDev #GameDev #Fairies #PixelArt #ドット絵 #8bit #SoloDev #Godot #retro

It also irritatingly cost taxpayers at large a considerable sum of money. Truly no winners, just survival against the misuse of power. Glad y'all made it through.

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 07/08/2026

working on it, gonna be real good, just like the boss asked for!

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 07/08/2026

Getting close to a near complete vertical slice. Added doors/switches/more magic and ....hot springs for healing. Even a Fairy Queen needs to relax some times. #IndieDev #GameDev #Fairies #PixelArt #ドット絵 #8bit #SoloDev #Godot #retro

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 06/08/2026

Cute. Also dig that background music!

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 06/08/2026

There are many, but she's probably my favorite because i love the sound of the palette knife. It's easy background noise while i work. youtu.be/DYBszgEZ3I8?...

If I recall correctly, estrogen smells like notes of citrus and rose water after a fresh summer rain. Right?

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 04/08/2026

the real problem you're ignoring is that when you pause the game, if it's even available,you don't hear super fat bass beats like in Battletoads NES

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 03/08/2026

Thank! I bought them in some sort of fx pack ages ago, and modifying them to make them a little more unique. Still needs another pass.

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 03/08/2026

Do people like Ch-ch-ch-cherry Bombs? Went ahead and added them today. Also sometimes enemies will drop candy to heal your health. Bombs will be largely for breaking secret doors open, but why not damage enemies as well? #IndieDev #GameDev #Fairies #PixelArt #ドット絵 #8bit #SoloDev #Godot #Zelda

the slash is supposed to replace the zelda 2 shield block--but I wanted to iterate on that where she doesn't have a shield so blocking is intentional, but will still damage. The Iron knuckle-like has a shield so a slash won't work, you have to stab precisely. the current one is adept at blocking

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 31/07/2026

Got some combat working a bit more reliably with new goblin enemies in Vorpal Queen. You can stab at projectiles to possibly destroy them, but slashing is a sort of parry that will deflect them. You can parry most attacks. #IndieDev #GameDev #Fairies #PixelArt #ドット絵 #8bit #SoloDev #Godot #Zelda2 ish

to be fair we're living through star trek's WW3 equivalent period, just need to survive another century

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 25/07/2026

you know, it's possible it's the freezer fan(speaking from experience). Life changing When I figured out ice build up was clipping the fan blades.

Gustav von Periwinkle @magemsoft.com · 25/07/2026

More tower fun in The Vorpal Queen. There's an interior platforming area as well that spans the height of the tower, but if you're outside, you can fall (float) all the way to the bottom. Winged Wika ain't dying to insta death pits! #IndieDev #GameDev #Fairies #PixelArt #ドット絵 #8bit #SoloDev #Godot

Deep reference from the dark Lovecraftian waters of yore.

I tweaked the columns more because it was def one of the issues remaining. There's an updated example of them somewhere in comments

This is the final appearance after more tweaking

oh my GOD that would have been a far easier reference. I was stressing over frame by frame video captures of Kirby's Adventure, Super Ghouls and Ghost, and Battletoads. Nebulus is so clean to figure out the geometry/animation. Would have saved a few hours lol

Always a good vibe! Looking forward to release!

Thanks!! It looks much better now after a couple hours of tweaking lol. It's a finicky trick to get working.
