after some waffling on my old wargame project. 32x32 squares for a game involving platoon to battalion scale fights. super quick slap together of a straight road prototype sprite. Just having fun pondering the basics some more of the game design.

Uhoh, sphinxes learning layering tools. next thing you know they're gonna start animating some of these >.> <.<

rough drafting out the title screen for a bootleg UFO 50 divination toy. I need a dice model sheet, reading setup screen, FAQ, options screen, and a yacht dice scoring table >.> but working assets first is kind of fun, I can eventually turn these into discrete objects, being tile-based

Sphinxes scheming a very small major arcana set. With a sort of empty vignette look.

TransFormidable Soft @transformidable.bsky.social · 23/07/2026
OK, that was probably one of the better couple hours I've had in a while, after a frustrating 20 minutes on trying to load the UFO 50 palette. Why yes she's actual size~

First drafting of spritework, for one of the cardback options. And my first official spritework,mostly testing size for 'small' cards

Ha. I just remembered how you continue a thread if you go too long. Look sphinxes are new to this BlueSky thing.

...Or explore games: blackjack, solitaire, video poker and yacht dice with weird variant options. Don't expect anything for a long while though. But a fun goal of a toy program to learn how to make RNG systems for games. Important since most of my tabletop games use cards and or dice.

So the abbreviated game flow idea: UFO 50 game so dpad and A and B button are available. Title screen goes to demo in 108 seconds. Pushing A or B goes to main menu. You can start a divination session with I Ching, poker, and tarot options...

TransFormidable Soft @transformidable.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
Uhoh. It begins. A title screen and resolution scheming for sprite work, and initial game flow ideas and options. Figure making some basic blackjack, solitaire, video poker and blackjack variants is a fun toy to start with. Expect some weirdness, but it will be a while.

Fell off RAMP2026 for a week, so cutting this a little closer than I like. I'll see if I make it in, but maybe I'll just try to finish it any way if I can't make it by the deadline. on the other hand, mapping can go surprisingly fast at times, and these aren't supposed to be craaazy large maps.

mp2026.doomproject.com oh boy, it's time. This year's theme. It's hell! Trying a weird fractal kind of build for this start, we'll add and modify textures out and sort of more sculp up a battlefield. I might push those outer walls further in some directions too, just doing Bob Ross of Doom

Welp, time to start learning how to virtually cast some dice and cards, in GD Script because honestly, let me learn the useful language. Later when I get a retropi setup for a fortune teller I'll eye making a DOS port =3

A fun divination idea I've had and I am working on. This is just journal practice of actual castings, but thinking of making a program to generate these, and a guide to turn a D&D character roll, I Ching values of that roll, a poker spread, and a tarot spread to basically auto generate a D&D NPC

Today's goofy game idea: A seasonal strategy game, maybe set in the 3 Kingdoms era (or fantasy equivalent) where you use the I Ching and cast a hexagram to see how your province progressed that season.

OK,waking up again. Yay depression is 'fun', but that's life. So here's some current status updates for projects: UmbralFall: Still in early alpha rules, looking for victims to start testing with, and I'll have to look into learning VTT scripting and asset creation.

It's been a bit. Waiting for that Doom map review, but starting to poke Godot. I'm only going to learn games by making them. Walking through some prebuilt tutorials,l and i get to start scheming very simple starting projects like 2d map systems

I've been quiet a bit (mental health sucks sometimes) but look at that. I'm at prettttty much at playtest. The rules need a little more polish and cleanup, maybe some layout in google docs to start. And figuring out how to VTT something. Hope you like lots of D6s. Also, battletech map compatible

A key passage in LOOKING BACKWARD, Edward Bellamy's Gilded Age surprise hit about socialism, occupies my thoughts lately; its relevance to today will be obvious upon reading it. It's most famous for what it says about the working masses, but is no less insightful about middle class "wealth."

Oh yeah, a milestone for UmbraFall! I got unit datasheets. Information just BS'd in, but some feeling out of how stats work with numbers even. Next up, cheat sheets for moving, combat, and morale. Got some rule ideas, just need to dump em in and go so I can start testing.

Game seed: fakermon peril dungeon. A faux PMD game with a slight bias to peril outcomes. A turn based stealth game with LOS for you and enemies could be an interesting thing. Almost like playing tag with giant snakes and whatnot. Could see it on a PMD tile system and rogue-like step by step turns.
