Re-arranged my retro cave corner to fit the B&O MX7000 🀩 #crt #retrogaming

out of pure luck and opportunity I was able to get a Bang & Olufsen MX7000 with original remote, manuals and the electric stand for only 200 bucks 🀩 When I got the MX4000 (smaller brother), I paid 150 bucks and had to buy the remote separately for 50. Time to upgrade my retro gaming room again!

Once the game will be published digitally, I plan it to have four languages available within the game: EN, DE, FR and ES. We'll see how this goes or if I need to make them their own version eventually (as it was common with most Game Boy games back then).

Self Simulated has come a long way! Here's a screenshot from May 2023. It started as a non-colored GB game. I've designed a rotating floppy disk which I never used, except for the final version in a flash screen, notifying the player that the game uses auto-save. #gameboy #indiegamedevelopment

Kero Kero Cowboy, a NEW platformer for the Game Boy Color, is AVAILABLE NOW at metagamemike.itch.io! Yeehaw! 🐸🀠 #gameboy #gameboycolor #gbstudio #indiegame #retro

fell into a pinball rabbit hole recently and settled down on a handheld Switch OLED cabinet to play some Pinball FX. Oh, and visited a pinball "museum" the other day to play the real deal with a friend which was absolutely lovely (and, to my surprise, the place was full of people!) #pinball

I put "Papercuts" from Linkin Park into the 6-CDs-Changer of my 20 year old minivan and scream "in the eeeeend it doesn't even maaatteeeerrr". - Martin, born in 1988 (which, for me, was 20-25 years ago for some reasons)

got my copy the other day! Recommend playing Chantey for GB systems! Not only is it a great game with a (to the GB) very unique mechanic, but also K.C. (the developer) is just a great person in general. Made entirely in GB Studio!

I've just published a new vertical slice prototype of "Fuse Dash"! Post your highscore as a screenshot to the Fuse Dash itch page and I'll add you on the highscore table there :) 2ndlawgames.itch.io/fuse-dash #gbstudio

New prototype of my other game "Fuse Dash" is coming soon to itch! Here's a sneak peak of the ship name editor I've made (up to 8 characters) #gbstudio

In Self Simulated you can use cheat codes on the code console to unlock certain things! (and you get an achievement for using the code console 😁) #gbstudio #indiegamedev

just finished Pentiment. What a game! 10/10 for me. Sparked my interest in paper making, medieval calligraphy and book binding ... like.. for real!

Had a week of vacation in lovely Scotland, deleted all social media apps from my smartphone (beside Discord and & YT), haven't touched any work related things, and just relaxed. Social media apps will remain deleted on my smartphone. Significantly improved my quality of life in just a week.

Had some lovely sunny days which opened up the opportunity for me to re-build our vacation mini van. Since we bought a roof tent a couple of months ago, we now don't need the space inside the van for sleeping. Thus I'm putting a little kitchen inside for rainy camping days. Work in progress.

Self Simulated Pre-Release trailer youtu.be/3CfFH53PN6U?... #indiegamedev #gbstudio

little Captain from my other game in development "Fuse Dash". Now in full color! #gbstudio

Digital release will also be on Steam (release year/date tba) store.steampowered.com/app/2458240/...

Will have a little test-play of the prototype of my card/dice dungeon crawler with 6 people today (I've handmade 8 sets + 2 hero stat sheets in case two extra people swing by). Again, you can play this game alone, or in coop with up to x people 🎲πŸ”₯

Lovely #GBdev and #GBCdev people. It's time to play. GBCbag 2 is available now. Share your amazing games now. πŸ˜πŸ•ΉοΈ #GameBoy #GameBoyColor #GBC #GBCbag #Gamedev #GBStudio #EASTPIXEL #indiegames #releaseday

My test cards don't fit, since I've cut them just roughly into pieces. But 67x44mm cards (small standardized format) will. Now I have to make a cheat-sheet that sits on the left, which explains what dice number what attack / success / attack strength is.
