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

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

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.

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

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

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

Gotta start the tech demo somehow. The video is a bit long, if you watched it all I appreciate you! #gbstudio #gameboy #pixelart #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming #retrogames

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks @kc.wildnaturegames.net for this sweet concept art for Eggbound's protagonist.

Concept art for an upcoming project #gameboycolor #monstertaming

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

Monster-Pak, on sale now! ko-fi.com/kyleculpart/...

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

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

I've got some pre-orders coming to my shop soon... maybe even today? I'm releasing a new monster collecting card game called Monster-Pak, and I'm also putting PKMN Gold & Silver poker decks up for pre-order.

The Top Down Followers plugin for GB Studio has been updated! -Now compatible with the latest version (4.2.2) -Now supports both 8 and 16 pixel grid modes Get it and all my other GB Studio plugins on Github github.com/shin-gamedev...

The follower system has been implemented! Which is huge! Most of the smaller systems have now been completed and I can move forward onto the battle system. We're getting close to a technical demo! #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming

The name input system is complete! In Eggbound, every monster in your party needs a name! Thanks @critcorsac.bsky.social for the tips! #gbstudio #gamedev #gameboy #indiegame #retrogaming #indiedev

Should I keep going? Another monster you will encounter in Eggbound, the monster collecting RPG inspired by Dragon Warrior Monsters, being created for the Gameboy Color. Design: @kc.wildnaturegames.net Sprite: @retropokesprites.bsky.social #gbstudio #gamedev #retrogaming #gameboy

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
