Participated in a art challenge by @GSURch on X/Twitter Tried this with Game Boy limitations in mind. Canvas is 32x32px and uses four shades of green. Never participated in these before. This was fun!

What was your solution for unreliable collisions with pinned actors?

The logo is now animated on the original Game Boy too!

Judging by the screenshots, this is just the GB Studio sample project with a new color palette and player sprite.

Mechanical Paladin has a new logo! Designed by the Finnish comic artist/illustrator Kari A. Sihvonen! Thank you so very much, Kari! I took his design and converted it into Game Boy / Color compatible form. Had to simplify the non color version for it to fit the 192 tile limit.

Wait.. So porting C64 SID songs to Sega Master System is now possible!?

Added in IRQ software bass by default... this is less harsh than using periodic noise via the LFSR. Also improved the scope visualization a little. Still lots of issues with SID files that trample all over the BBC Micro memory map, but this one appears to work just fine. 🔊

Started working on the Raccoon dog-girl boss's sprite. Initially I wanted to give her a gangster suit, but unfortunately I couldn't make it work with 16x16px canvas and 3 colors. A dress it is then!

The last zone's tileset is coming along nicely.

Resident Evil Gaiden Recomp by sergiomanzur now supports audio mods, so I started making covers of the game's soundtrack. Two tracks down so far (logos and title menu), plenty more to go. Hopefully we'll get crossfading between tracks at some point.

Printable 3D papercraft characters perhaps?

No DLSS 5. Just good art direction.

Mind sharing a screenshot of what the unwrapped texture looks like?

I released SIX new versions of Pixel Art Studio since launch, over the weekend, with dozens of improvements. If you faced issues or something weird, it has probably been fixed now. If not, please report! #pixelart #blender3d

You're right about that. But I don't want to give a sub par experience for the minority of players that still use their original DMG's. Speaking of niches, just today I was pleasantly surprised that in Castlevania Order of Shadows by @elviestm.bsky.social you can print out the game map!

When creating background art for monochrome screens (unlit screens especially), you need to be careful not to add too much detail. Busy BG's can make a game borderline unplayable. Color screens fortunately don't have this problem.

Question regarding the quote "Honestly, I don’t care about the license stuff in each of the packs- if you want to use these for whatever, feel free!" on that bundle. Does that mean that people can use these packs on their commercial products too?

This is huge! Keep up the awesome work!

Finally managed to get my hands on a Analogue Pocket. I didn't feel comfortable releasing the game on a system I couldn't test it on. Played trough the demo on it and didn't find any issues with it. Please let me know if you find any issues with the demo. Changelog in comments ↓

RTs and likes appreciated!🙏 Showing kindness during dialogue can make small flowers appear, hinting at secret paths. I want kindness to feel useful, and reward nice players. フローでは、会話でやさしさを示すと、マップにも変化が現れます。やさしい返事で小さな花が咲き、秘密の道を示してくれます。やさしさが物語だけでなく、探索にもつながる作りを目指しています。 #indiedev #NESdev #ファミコン #ゲーム制作

Donkey Kong for the Game Boy is great, and it's even better with the Super Game Boy enhancements! Highly recommend!

Hopefully this is not too much animation for a single screen (there were more).

With the ECHO system, the same room can change based on your choices. In the market stage, visuals and gameplay shift, making each replay feel a little different. ECHOシステムで同じ部屋も選択で変化します。市場ステージでは見た目も遊び方も少しずつ変わります。 #indiedev #NESdev #ファミコン #ゲーム制作
