I thiiiink that's all the main content added to Deja Vu PD. This process of playing the original and copying in the text is crazy tedious but it's nearly there. There's still a few functions to add, lots of testing etc but it's getting there. Wishlist: play.date/games/deja-vu/ #indiegamedeveloper

There's even a full-speed Game Boy emulator now (with some extra features like a 10-second rewind and screen resizing for some games)

This was a very special episode. 1997 had some absolute bangers. The absolute definition of “the good old days”. Highly recommended listen!

Everyone should go play The Mermaid Mask 🧜🎭 It's wonderful and everything games should be! If I ever lose my drive to make games a bit, I play a game from @sfbtom.bsky.social and @sfbdim.bsky.social, it always rejuvenates me!

Comet is the cover story for the anniversary issue of Cranko! @spaceindie.bsky.social makes a really fun @play.date magazine that people love, and It was a lot of fun to work with him on the new issue. Go check it out, there's even a poster!

Made some strong progress with Life's Too Short: On Reflection. @thantropy.bsky.social sprite work adds soo much to the characters. I'll probably add this to Steam soon but in the meantime, wishlist the first game as it'll be out sooon... store.steampowered.com/app/4209750/... #indiegamedeveloper

Updated some of the tiles and edited some others. Think this looks better! This game is mega straightforward as it's 6 levels to a tower which are all similar but the sprites that @thantropy.bsky.social is working on will make the real difference! #indiegamedeveloper

Super early days but whilst I wait for Steam to approve Life's Too Short, I've started sketching out Life's Too Short: On Reflection remake. This is a much smaller game but now we have the engine from the first, it should be very fast progress to put the next games together :) #indiegamedeveloper
