Very well said. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about AI tools and how it might affect the homebrew community. I want to encourage creators to continue to create. Their passion will always shine through into their projects.

A super cool concept art by @kc.wildnaturegames.net turned 48x48px sprite by @azuresplashes.bsky.social for Eggbound, a monster collecting RPG being created for the Gameboy. Definitely one of my favorites. #pixelart #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Another incredible design for Eggbound done by @azuresplashes.bsky.social! I cannot say enough about the monsters they've been pumping out. What should we call it? I was thinking about calling it Flamigo - Flamingo + Amigo. #pixelart #gbstudio #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gameboy

I'd like to announce that @azuresplashes.bsky.social has joined the Eggbound team as a monster designer and sprite artist! I'm really looking forward to showcasing more of the monsters he's created with you guys. Here's a few for now! #gameboy #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gbstudio

I've been drawing battles on the current scene. There was an issue with text drawing in the wrong spot due to the scene scrolling offsets,so I decided to split the dungeon and the battle into two separate scenes - but you'd probably never know! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gameboy

Nothing spectacular, but I did do a bit of work using overlays to set up some more "fake" menus so the background continues to animate during selection. Oh! And I animated the selection cursor sprite. #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #retrogaming

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I am obsessed with how good this turned out. Respective party info now collapses when a monster is defeated and the background is animating flawlessly through dialogue and menus. Basic battle system complete! #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #retrogaming #retrogames

I've finished the basic attack system for battles. Turn order is set by speed (720 possible combinations for a 3v3) and is then executed. It scales down depending on how many monsters are in the battle. Don't mind the test dialogues. #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Did some work on expanding the battle system this evening. I now have it checking and sorting 6 unique monsters and creating a turn order according to their speed. Now I just need to attach actions to each turn slot. Nothing to show for it yet, but I'll post a video when it's up and running.

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Not a whole lot of time for gamedev today, so I combed through the battle system and removed any visual flickers, sped up the damage animation and added in a slight camera shake when an enemy attacks. I think it looks pretty good. #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

There is some variance for the final damage, but we're working with lil' numbers so it didn't show very well in the last post. I still have to comb through and remove visual flickers, but it's nice to have something playable! #gbstudio #gameboy #pixelart #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Here we go! A very basic battle system. Next we add more party members and some more enemies. #gbstudio #gameboy #pixelart #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming #retrogames

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

I'm starting to put together a tech demo for Eggbound. You'll start by naming your first monster. Then you'll be able to walk around a small cloud island encountering a few monsters to battle. Maybe one will join your party if you're lucky! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #gameboy

Been stuck doing lot of behind-the-scenes work lately. Nothing flashy to show, but I did do some work on the menu system. BUT, that means it's time for the battle system! #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #retrogaming #pixelart

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Starting work on the non-menu, menus! All so the background will keep animating while making selections. @kc.wildnaturegames.net really pulled through with this artwork. #gbstudio #gameboy #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #nintendo #retrogames #retrogaming #monstertaming #rpg #jrpg #gamedev

I'm using metatiles. Whenever the player steps on a tile, it's compared with it's metatile ID. Each metatile has a different chance to initiate an encounter!

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Tossed in a few monsters to implement the random encounter system. Still some work to be done, but we're making good progress! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gameboy #pixelart

#ScreenshotSaturday This is a project that @urist-mcdev.bsky.social has been working on. I think I did all the art you see on screen here.

The DMG is pretty limited in terms of drawing text. After a few short dialogues, the previous text starts to get overwritten. I've implemented a new way of drawing text using the common tileset to stop that from happening. Take that DMG limitations! #gbstudio #gamedev #gameboy #indiedev

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

I'm starting to fight against some of the DMGs limitations. I really wanted the first iteration of this project to be for the DMG with some palette support for the GBC, but if it starts to interfere with the overall project I may have to consider abandoning that approach.

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Implementing the battle system over the new tiles. That moving background during the battle sure does look pretty slick! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #nintendo #gameboy #pixelart

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Revamping the info pages a bit due to all the heavy text drawing. Got a bit more optimizing to do before I'll be happy, but we're getting there. I'm trying to keep the screen transitions as limited as possible. #gbstudio #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #gameboy

0396

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

It should appear that way when played on the Gameboy color, I don't think DMG has sprite priorities which is why it appears that way!

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Just wanted to showcase some work that's been done on the new tiles. Thanks @kc.wildnaturegames.net! The follower system is now working flawlessly alongside the screen scrolling mechanic. Next up is finishing the battle system. #gbstudio #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gameboy #pixelart

This is just a video showcasing mostly UI stuff. I'm hoping to dive a bit deeper into the battle system and the scrolling map mechanics in the next video! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gameboy #pixelart #retrogames #retrogaming

As of right now it's purely intended to be used for the capture mechanic at the end of a battle, but I could see some uses for it during battles for sure - it's definitely worth exploring. Thank you for the idea!

Added a bit of pressure to the song input capture mechanic (it's a placeholder for now). #gamedev #indiedev #gameboy #gbstudio #indiegame #nintendo #pixelart #retrogaming #retrogames

Urist McDev @urist-mcdev.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

The idea is that in Eggbound, monster tamers are equipped with a whistle. This allows them to get the attention of their monsters in battle and give them commands. But they can also play a song to convince monsters to join them! #gbstudio #gameboy #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming

Working on the name input system. In Eggbound, you'll have to give each monster in your party a 4 character nickname! #gbstudio #gameboy #retrogaming #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev
