Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Really sucks indeed! I'll stick to using my own brain instead of outsourcing the thinking for my current game project (and backend editor) 😌 I hope there will still be other people who do the same. 000
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I recently discovered Risa Tracker (basically LSDj for NES). I thought about switching to it from LSDj (the extra triangle channel would be really useful). Then I saw the LLM disclaimer at the bottom of the website, and it made the choice to stick with LSDj very easy 😌 260

Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 04/09/2026New footage of my (backend) editor for Realms of the Wanderer! Editing multiple maps is working, and with that I was also able to make the Door interaction action work 😁 #gamedev 1130
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I use LSDj (a Game Boy tracker) for all my chiptunes. Definitely not the most intuitive way to make them, but I like it 😇 Do you have any experience with making music in general? 110
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Yes! Back when I was in uni (late 2000s/early 2010s), Wacom was definitely the leader in drawing tablets. They probably still are the biggest brand, but I feel like the others have caught up in terms of tech, and they've all become a lot more affordable 😊 110
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Thanks! That's so awesome to hear 😀 I recently got a drawing display through a collab with XPPen, and might do some digital painting again after doing only pixel art for the past few years 😊 120
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026In case anyone ever wondered: No, I don't use AI! I find great pride in being able to say I made something all by myself, using AI would make it all pointless. Even when the process of creating can be a struggle at times, I'll always choose to take my time and keep going! Using AI is giving up. 1163
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Look forward to a write-up about it in next month's update post (that's next week already)!

Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Here's a first look at the map editor I'm making for my game called "Realms of the Wanderer" 😁 Showing off tile and collision placement on multiple layers, and placing objects to handle layer change so the player can walk on top or behind tile layers depending on the situation 🙂 1123
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Ad / Sponsored post 🎁 Happy 21st anniversary to XPPen! 🥳🎉 Animation made with the XPPen Artist 16 3rd. Huge thanks to the awesome people at @xppen-de.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to try one of their drawing displays! 😁 Stay tuned for my review of the device 😊 #pixelanimation #chiptune 0212
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Thank you so much! 😀 Can't wait to make more 😊 010
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Haha thanks! And no need to stop if you feel like watching it a few more times 🤭 010
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Thanks a lot for adding me! 🤩 Followed everyone back 😁💪 010
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Welcome to the new people following me through Tofu's Pixel Recommendation starter pack! 👋😄 In case you don't know me, I make chiptune animations (= pixel animations accompanied by short songs in Game Boy style). I'm also making a game called Realms of the Wanderer 😁 See Media tab on my profile 😊 050
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 11/08/2026If you're curious for more details, I wrote about it in my recent monthly update post on my Patreon (available to free members) 🙂patreon.comMonthly Update - August 2026 | Siegfried CroesHello there, awesome members! 👋 This month's update post is for cool people who like reading and don't mind the lack of images or videos (wa 000
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 11/08/2026It's been a while since I posted here! I mainly worked on a map editor for my game "Realms of the Wanderer" 😁 It's working quite well already, but I want to add the ability to change object properties before I show it off in a video 😌 I can already share this screenshot though 😇 151
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 06/08/2026This video has no audio, but I totally heard the Earthbound battle music playing 🤭 Really awesome looking script 😁 010
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 19/07/2026The object cats from my latest chiptune animation are available as stickers/magnets! 😍 Check out my shop for more designs/products based on my most popular animations!

Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Everything's a cat 😸 And may this song be stuck in your head! 🤭🎶 #pixelanimation #chiptune 113457
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Thanks a lot 😀 I'll probably stick with them till most of the engine programming is done. Might make a mockup animation of what the final graphics may look like before that 🙂 110
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Just made a system to handle changing map collision and render order of tiles/objects on the fly 😀 My game (Realms of the Wanderer) is starting to look like something 😊 #gamedev 1171
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 07/07/2026My girlfriend has to deal with chronic pain daily, which inspired me to make this song 😔 I don't have a magical fix, but I hope my chiptune animations can bring comfort/distraction to those going through difficult times 🫂 #pixelanimation #chiptune 17223
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Thanks a lot! 😁 I'm really enjoying this prototype phase where it's all about figuring out how to structure everything and trying to think ahead to make sure that all the systems I still need to add will fit in 😊 I hope I can keep the motivation up 😌 110
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I've been working on a new game project called "Realms of the Wanderer" these last few weeks 😁 I'm programming it almost from scratch in C++ (using SDL3 for cross-platform compatibility) 🙂 You can read more about it in my latest (free) Patreon post 😊 www.patreon.com/posts/162597... #gamedev 1101
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Awesome to hear you're liking Godot so far! 😁 110
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 16/06/2026I've been thinking about making a chiptune animation that runs on C64, and as I'd want the animation to be in sync with the music, I'd probably try and write my own audio routine. It'd sure be cool to make a whole tracker out of it... LSIDj 😌💭 000
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Today's chiptune animation is a Ghibli-themed childhood memory! 😄 Feel free to share yours in the comments 😊 Song: "A Town With an Ocean View" (Kiki's Delivery Service) by Joe Hisaishi, recreated in Game Boy style by me 🎶 #pixelanimation #chiptune 1227
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 09/06/2026I'm quite excited to see it's most likely a reimagining of the game instead of a straight remaster like the 3DS version. I'm sure there will be changes we don't like, but I'm curious to see what they come up with 😁 010

Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Here's a bit of "Don't Panic" by @coldplay in Game Boy style, suggested by an awesome person for my Chiptune Animation Collab on Patreon! 😁🎶 #pixelanimation #chiptune 1102
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Congrats on the release! 🥳🎉 Can't wait to play it later today! 😁 010
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Congrats! 😁 The game looks absolutely spectacular 🤩 Super excited to play it, especially with the recently announced modifiers that'll help out if it ever gets too difficult 😊 010
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Always welcome 😊 Oh,speaking of effects, I also put the lowest amount of vibrato on every note for the cat meowing, and most other instruments really 🙂 110
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 17/05/2026I use LSDj (Game Boy tracker) so I'm not sure how it works in Famitracker but I'm sure it has a similar feature. It's an effect you add to a note entry. Did a quick search and I think it's 3xx in Fametracker (where xx is the portamento/slide speed) 🙂 110
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Thanksn! And yeah, I use the first duty cycle option (12.5%) and also slides between the notes to make it sound like meowing 😺 110
Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 12/05/2026The pixel kitty from my last chiptune animation is back with another comforting song 😺🎶 #pixelanimation #chiptune 313437

Siegfried Croes @siegfriedcroes.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Correct! The 3rd one is a bit more obscure. It's "Narcotic" by Liquido 🙂 010
