turns out "Actor B" in that script I edited was, in fact, already being used for something when I set the phase indicator sprite to it. whoops. #bug #gamedev #indiegame #gbstudio #gbc

looked at my store page in beta mode and saw this and am very happy. I know it's just a genre thing but still. it makes me smile. :)

and here it is. :) #pixelart (IDK if it really counts as pixel art anymore but I think it should since it is a very CRUNCHY drawing)

another update on the WIP. I just realized as well that it'll be kinda weird that the art uses the DMG palette when I don't believe I've used it anywhere in mindshift. #WIP #pixelart #LibreSprite

a work in progress shot of 5 characters, four (three men and a woman) are smaller than the man behind them looming over them. the looming man is unfinished with only his head done. all done in the gameboy palette.

just a WIP may be used on mindshift steam page, may not. (with alt text this time) #pixelart

here's a mockup of the sex minigame. The frame on the right will contain graphics from the area the minigame takes place. the two actors at the bottom are for the rhythm stuff and the actor on the left is the ORGASM METER. #gbstudio (4.1.3) #indiegame

a frame in the right corner, on the left a meter on upside down hearts. At the bottom are two blank actors for the rhythm game segments.

Here's an updated version of mindshift's intro sequence. Just a warning before you decide to watch this intro goes a lot harder than mindshift's old intro. #indiegame #devlog #gbstudio #homebrew #gamedev #gameboy #gbc

It will be so funny if mindshift gets an AO rating bc THIS is what mindshift's nudity looks like.

An 8-bit naked man, very hard to see any detail.

just a small thing. It may not look like much but keep in mind 90% of mindshift's old menus were designed around me not knowing how to do this. #indiegame #devlog #gbstudio #gameboy #gbc

making music is fun. I just learned that rapidly shuffling between instruments in milkytracker can create a distinct effect that, yes is supported by gbstudio. :) #gameboymusic #music #milkytracker #gameboy #retromusic #8bitmusic

this is supposed to be for a calm but slightly uncomfy sequence. it was a lot of fun messing with the volume effect. here's hoping gbstudio keeps some of the effect. #music #gbmusic #retro #milkytracker

finally nailed down a design for a character in timeline two. This is Andi. They are non-binary and before anyone gets on me for not just making them human, a lot of humans in mindshift just kinda look like this. also they're a figment of Luca's imagination representing his attraction to enbies.

this may not seem like much but this is the barest of bones for a rhythm game combat system. :) it will require some retooling of mindshift's original battle system but I think it will be worth it. #indiegame #gamedev #gbstudio #gameboy #gbc #homebrew

This is what I have so far for making the text system work for NPC interactions. as you can see, for some reason you cannot interact with them from the y axis, only the x axis. gonna need more work. #gamedev #indiegame #gamemaker

another day another set of sketches. mostly an attempt to study faces since being to some degree face blind makes breaking out of same face syndrome hard. #art #faces #study

an array of facial expressions along with some lip syncing vowels.

two men, one with a botched face. below them is a rose and a skull and crossbones.

a series of busts with a variety of facial expressions.

my first attempt at drawing dark skin with a pen, I apologize in advance. #art #oc #sketch

A horribly drawn darker skinned character with poofy hair and two dreadlocks. A character with a malformed face shrugging. a character using a finger gun and the character with the malformed face reacting to his malformed face.

Sure why not allow the player's minimum room count be 32,767. that seems reasonable. /j

I just took a gander at their updated FAQ and it is official there is no version of my game that can make money on that website mindshift follows a guy dealing with the fallout of dealing with the trauma of sexual violence. that is not allowed on itch and that makes me angry

Me: Searches up a tutorial on how to do darker skin tones using a 1-bit palette Google AI: here's a contradictory overview of what you were trying to find where our advice for using only two colors is to use LOTS and LOTS of color. Also it is confused as to whether its a makeup tutorial or not.

Creating realistic darker skin tones on a 1-bit palette, which only allows for black and white, can be challenging but achievable by using techniques like desaturation and layering. A simple method involves building up color values with multiple layers, starting with a base color and gradually adding grays and browns to achieve the desired shade
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Base Color:

Start with a bright, "peach" tone by mixing red, yellow, and white.
Adjust the color by adding more red for warmer tones or more yellow for cooler tones.

2. Desaturating the Base Color:

To create darker tones, mix in a small amount of ultramarine blue or burnt sienna.

Desaturate the base color by adding multiple layers of grays and browns.
Choose desaturated colors with their first number in a range of 4 or higher.
Color each of the desaturating colors over the entire skin area, except for the eyes and lips.
Layer one color over the other until you get the effect you're after.

the arrow is the mintanan letter for "M" and the dot is the mintanan letter for "A" with the middle design representing the word "MA" with the design being reversible.

flag with two stripes (one on top, one on the bottom) lining the stripes are arrows and dots. between the two stripes are two triangles with a circle in the middle.
