Andrey Surnov's concept work for Jusant in my brain again this morning. Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more.
had so much fun making the music and sounds for this game! it was my first time making music using tracker software, such a cool learning experience and a whole different way of thinking about composition! here is a little preview / demo vid.... possibly more to come... 👀 you can try it out on itch!

What OpenFPGA cores are folks using for GBA Emulation on the pocket these days?I know about spiritualized, but that one is pretty old as far as I'm aware. I'm participating in the GBA Jam, and I'd like to make sure it runs in as many places as possible. #gamedev #analoguepocket #gbadev #retrogaming

When I talk about how the coming-up generation of devs are going to develop gaming into its own unique language (separate from other media) and elevate gaming itself, this is what I mean. The kids are alright and they are making amazing games.
Just purchased South of Midnight now that it’s out for PS5. I can’t wait to dive in! This was one of the few games that made me wish I had an xbox last year
Games like Dungeons of Hinterberg are the reason I will *always* prefer stylized art over realistic. This game isn't graphically intensive, but it's absolutely gorgeous to look at.
The new Pokemon starters look excellent! Pombon is gonna be a huge hit, but my heart has always been drawn to the grass pokemon. Browt's angry eyes are so cute!
Lately I've been working on being able to properly support meta-sprites in my GBA games. The term meta-sprite is a colloquial way of saying you're combining multiple sprites to represent a single entity. In the video, the mega man zero is a meta-sprite the pink blob is a regular sprite. #gamedev

I'm really hoping "Relooted" by @nyamakop.co.za ends up on Playstation some day. The game looks incredible and I'm really bummed I don't have a device that can currently play it 😭
Thunder injury report vs. Lakers; Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal strain) OUT Ajay Mitchell (abdominal strain) OUT Nikola Topic (testicular surgery) OUT Thomas Sorber (torn ACL) OUT Jalen Williams isn’t listed signaling his return.
An element of the cartridge era of games I love is save files local to the cartridge. I love moments where you buy an old gameboy game and there's an existing save file on it. It's a little glimpse into another person's life, akin to words in the margins, underlined passages in a used book.
Season's greetings from the only Christmas game you need to play, Forspoken.
An under-appreciated aspect of modern RPGs is how you can fold laundry during all the story parts.
It's been a while since I got to work on my game, but today I got to knock out a rough implementation of vertical scrolling! Here you can see platform snapping to an offset and different focus points for when you're in the air versus on the ground. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev
It's #ScreenShotSaturday, and I no longer use pngs for sprites! I now get all pixel information directly from aseprite files, saving me export time and less manual definitions all around :) #indiegamedev #gamedev #aseprite #pixelart #indiedev #retrodev #gbadev

This #ScreenShotSaturday includes more than just my game running! This week, the moving platforms now move along a fixed path! I thought it'd be fun to see a bit more of the dev process, so here you can see the platform being placed via Tiled, my map editor of choice. #gamedev #indiedev #retrodev
