idea is basically '40K rules, but epic scale, where 1 figure represents a squad.' some super simple bucket o' dice rolls, so I can practice programming godot, and practice game design.

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~

TransFormidable Soft @transformidable.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

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

TransFormidable Soft @transformidable.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

...Or explore games: blackjack, solitaire, video poker and yacht dice with weird variant options, whatever twisted ideas pop to mind. Depending on my ability to do pixel art it could get spicy 👀 but don't expect anything soon. Just like to muse about weird game design ideas.

TransFormidable Soft @transformidable.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

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

TransFormidable Soft @transformidable.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

...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.

TransFormidable Soft @transformidable.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

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.

That's no fun. Half the excuse of making my game ideas is digging into themes I loved growing up. Plus I did my 'read all the Gibson i could find at the library' years ago, now it's Sterling's turn.

Oh No, I suppose I'll have to read a Bruce Sterling complilation (Ascendancies) as part of research for my game settings, what a shame

I learned about them from a Gamma World book @.@ ((Red Sails in the Fallout. Look, psychic lesbian mutant quoll with a chainsaw on the front cover, I gotta read it)) [[if curious, it's not bad, not great, but probably a good book for the vibe of a fun Gamma World 5e game]]

Penumbra: The prequel RPG and the setting guide. Still in very early development stages, as I take tropes from D&D, cyberpunk, and 80's anime and movies, and blend away. Starting to make some style guides.
