Okay back to coding after 2 days of dealing with IBS pain. Working inventory system, including equipment! #gamedev #pico8 #roguelike

So today is meant to be day 7 of my coding streak but I am in excruciating pain from eating something that triggered my IBS I'll return tomorrow with more progress, I promise!

I kept telling myself I should tackle mapgen but then I realized I forgot a menu and item spawning... Thankfully I had tried to make a simple game in the past that had both before so I just moved most of the code over and spent some time debugging. #gamedev #pico8 #roguelike

We kinda have a game now? I still don't have an inventory system or any map generation but everything else is there. I diverged from the Porklike tutorial a lot now and I'm starting to do my own thing which is a bit scary but I'm getting it to work. #roguelike #pico8 #gamedev

Me, just a few weeks ago: man I don't know how much memory I need for a pico-8 roguelike Me, as of this week: if every mob including the player is in a mob array I use like 100 tokens max My player is now just a very fancy slime.

Didn't have much time to code today, another Riftbound prerelease to go to, but I did what I could. Enemy movement is now a bit more random and we have damage on both sides. I did not do anything for when Bootbarian hits 0 HP so as it stands he is currently immortal! #gamedev #pico8 #roguelike

I was judging a Riftbound tournament yesterday so I did not get to code much after 10 hours of spending time telling people they aren't allowed to do the thing, so today I went for a bit more. Look at my lil guys go now #pico8 #gamedev #roguelike

So yea I wanted to make something fun and I had no idea what to do. I unfortunately missed the 7 days roguelike gamejam but really what's stopping me from just giving myself 7 days to have a working roguelike framework that I can then work with? So I restarted working on a silly idea.

Coming back from a long break due to health reasons and my grandmother passing away. Took a week long vacation and decided I felt like trying to create something, so I ended up working on a silly roguelike idea I had abandoned. Very early stages, more to come. #roguelike #gamedev #pico8

With all the drama regarding Chinese cards and the new CRD for #riftbound I decided to do some science. I acquired some bulk (and a Thousand Tails because it was ungodly cheap). The foils are curling heavily. Worse than MTG

Bootbarian is taking form. We have a mockup and animation frames, as well as a more 8 bit style because I'm a goober who will make this thing in PICO-8 probably. #pixelart #gamedev #pico-8

Trying to find gamedev inspiration by doing #pixelart and I accidentally forgot to give this guy a boot and it turned into a whole brainstorming session. Then I made him a little slime buddy as a placeholder enemy so I guess I'm back to #gamedev

messing around with anti-airs for Braum and Darius. If you have tag up and a bunch of meter you can delete a 1000 health character from existence (or do like 550 damage meterless) #2XKO #2XKO_Braum #2XKO_Darius

Braum corner to corner using Darius assist and Tag launcher. Ends with Unbreakable and advantage for a mix on wakeup. The 4T does connect but it's very tight on small bodies like Jinx (maybe even harder on Teemo? Will have to test tomorrow...) #2xko #braum #darius

The Meg @megpaints.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Not my combo, but this combo is super fun to do lmao #2xko #braum #darius

That feeling when you don't know what to paint next... I have units to finish for my 3 of my teams in MCP but also I got MODOK 2 who looks like a silly little man, despite not having a real team to put him in.

Did a fun thing this time around where I took a picture at each step of my process. It was actually pretty crazy seeing the whole process and how much each added for the first time. From base colors to washes to layers and then to the finished product. #miniaturepainting #marvelcrisisprotocol

Today is my hobby day, and I went ahead and finished Star-Lord from Marvel Crisis Protocol. #marvelcrisisprotocol #miniaturepainting

Recently got a Lightbox, so here are some models I've stuck in there to try it out. Makes it a lot better than taking pictures of stuff just standing on my desk. Also makes me want to level up my painting a whole bunch. #miniaturepainting #marvelcrisisprotocol #starwarshatterpoint

Currently working on this guy. Star-Lord's always had a cool ass costume in the comics and I always found it a bit sad the movies mostly dropped it. Washes applied and waiting patiently for them to dry before moving on to layering. #miniaturepainting #marvelcrisisprotocol
