been having a meltdown trying to port the fonts from Scroll but I've finally managed it by just... remaking them 😅 I'm gonna get all the content back in before I redo all the kerning but I'm so happy to be able to get back to "non-font" work

genuinely the most depressing update you can get!

Trying to do more things I always wanted to do when I got to be indie, today's a remote work day at the cinema with breaks to watch The Amateur and Thunderbolts!

my @playdate wasn't yellow enough!

v fast mockup but vibesssss

should there be a CRT filter.... maybe?! defo fun to make but I dunno if it's super readable haha

This might be one of the coolest things I've ever coded. I think I need more angles for the ship. But it's basically done. (Music from #DuckTales is placeholder. I just love that theme.) #playdate #gamedev #pixelart

what if both styles were combined!! #pixelart #gamedev

I'm positive this will get messed up by compression but I'd love to have a seperated pixels filter, maybe even a flip dot display mode!

maybe some colour 🎨👀

ngl it's been 4 hrs now and I think oblivion redux will be my fave game this year, it was my first real favourite game and it feels new and the same. The Green felt linens I used to wear are still in the bandit camp in vilverin! And the sewer barrel had 6 cheese wheels, I'm just so happy!

also tho these fire fx are great bg / menu vibes, I love the ones in hollow knight as well... I wanna make ambient bg fire fx someday!!

I solved a bunch of fiddly UI pixel ratio issues today, so I should be able to support any resolution now and still have crisp pixels. I'm trying out some filigree borders to lock in the playable area as well, really happy with how this is all turning out! #gamedev

I hope they make a toon link game next, the last single player one was over 15 years ago now

Sinners is Cinema.

Once oblivion drops I'm gonna have to stop myself from running to grab fin gleam first thing

Just upgraded Rider since I want C#12 features and it opened with a bunch of AI stuff that I needed to disable, I really wish all that jank was opt-in rather than opt out :/ ui is nicer now tho, every looks super clean!
