Well, Pixel Pup isn't going to make it for July :( But, I'm confident we'll make August. The game is entirely done, except it turns out music on the #GBA is challenging. We're also adding in one last feature. It just doesn't seem right for a RetroDotCards release to not use the e-Reader! #indiedev

A screenshot of Pixel Pup's puzzle pack menu. It is focused on the e-reader puzzle pack. The background has an e-reader "e" logo pattern, and to the left, Franny the dog in her e-reader form is smiling.

Happy that @roninopf.bsky.social has joined the Pixel Pup team to provide some great tracks to listen to while you solve those nonograms. The music is still a WIP and this video is a mock up of real gameplay with still-in-progress music, but it gives an idea of where it's headed. So cool!

Here's some quick mock ups of what I'm aiming for with my next GBA/e-Reader game. Kind of what you'd get if Advance Wars, Fire Emblem and Magic the Gathering were thrown into a blender. Super ambitious, can I pull it off? Eh, probably not. But I will try my hardest :)

A mock up of a Game Boy Advance strategy game. It shows the main gameplay on an overhead map. The left side is a forest, and the right is a desert plain, there is a river cutting through the middle. To the left are the heroes, and it is Tril's turn. He is figuring out where to move. To the right are three goblins, the enemies of the map.A mock up of the character details for the Game Boy Advance strategy game. It shows the details for Tril, a mouse-like creature. He is a level 2 fighter. It shows what he currently has equipped, a sword and a cook pot. There is a third available slot that is empty, which says "scan an equipment card".A very rough mock up of what en equipment e-Reader card might look like. This is the cook pot equipment card. To the left is a rough pencil sketch of the pot. To the right it says "turn ability: generate one food item", and below that, "food item: regain 2 health".
