Sometimes you have to get out in the field and do environmental research to get the job done correctly. The NES port of Orange Island will surely benefit from this. šŸŠ

who fuckin told him? we've been made.

does it say "cowabunga"?

working on big tomato boss guy @cybertomatosoft.bsky.social

I got a new lens that lets me boka like a hardcore pro. These stickers turned out dope too.

never even heard of this one 😮

A friend let me borrow their 40mm lens and I had no idea this was missing from my life. I'm looking forward to using it in some upcoming videos. #photography

New video on the LoBlast youtube channel talking about the impacts of tariffs on PCB and parts sourcing with potential solutions. youtu.be/ZBoewKQA_yo

forgot to post this since i've been doing a BUNCH of vm testing this week but here is the 50 followers piece i did on stream! did ansi art of @bearglyph.bsky.social @rikoclon.bsky.social @birchtwigs.bsky.social and @langel.bsky.social and it came out super well!!

Good Morning bluesky.ā˜•ļø

some old #pixelart studio ghibli studies what i did

This exact issue of Electron User from 1988 is where game dev started for me: archive.org/details/Elec... Spending warm summer days indoors making crap animations by defining 8x8 pixel custom chars via manually typed 0-255 binary values made games like Elite seem like ACTUAL WITCHCRAFT.

Finally got some help on this NES mechanical switch controller. A couple of bodged pull-up resistors do the trick!!

Thanks everybody for checking out my Hello World video on my LoBlast youtube channel. I was hoping it would hit 100 views and it passed 600 yesterday. I am officially encouraged to make another one! Right now I’m getting ready for Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend in Milwaukee. Thanks again!!

I was recently able to add music from @humanthomas.bsky.social to Dizzy Sheep Disaster, and it really brings the game to life! Come try it out at Midwest Gaming Classic later this week! #gamedev #indiedev

Here's some of @klonoz.bsky.social's smooth-as-butter (60 FPS!) animations for your rust bucket ship in Rex Nobilis, our SNES bullet hell! She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid... #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #snes #ć‚¹ćƒ¼ćƒ‘ćƒ¼ćƒ•ć‚”ćƒŸć‚³ćƒ³ #ć‚¹ćƒ¼ćƒ•ć‚”ćƒŸ #rexnobilis

Premiering a new video on the LoBlast youtube channel at noon. Who am I and what do I do? 15+ minutes. Apparently almost 250 clips. Shall be a spellbinding book of a time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fKD...

We got some nice rendering work done tonight! That was a great stream, and we'll be back on Wednesday at 6 PM! We raided into @langel.bsky.social, he's streaming some old commercials over at twitch.tv/puke7 ! Come on by, these are some real gems! #furryart #furry #twitch

Work continues at Games That Weren't, and we have another huge discovery! The long-lost god sim Populous for the #NES has been recovered! A full conversion lost for 33 years - now you can finally play it today! šŸŒšŸŽ® www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/03/popu...

Been in a bit of a flunk art and mood wise. Open to new 2 word creature prompts like "Data Golem", "Antenna Crab" or "Abbysal Searcher"

I have been working on a two-color risograph zine. I sent out some invites to collaborators. 3 out 5 have responded positively and the other two remain silent. 🤫

I wanted to state that I’m officially in the middle of too many product projects. Sometimes I think they get in the way of each other. Some of them are getting closer to market readiness. I’m hoping to improve my prioritization strategy, but honestly know no oher way! @loblast.bsky.social

Holy shit, Blast Zero is actually doing all the animation for the Samurai Pizza Cats game on paper.

through the window.

Buy my games so I can: * Buy groceries * Pay the bills * Invest in my future work * Pay artists I like to draw my OCs, so I can stare at the drawing for months and show everyone how cool it looks, because I'm completely sane about them. Ah, my games, of course: #gamedev #indiedev #brart #indiebr

GunTneR for the NES finally has a proper commercial! youtu.be/LSbK7cN0BNk

trainer sprites i did in my spare time

7.12: Repent, Pencilman

Made it to Magfest!

Had to go to court last Friday. The judge threw the book at us; both received life sentences. We seem ok with it. My parents had to witness the whole sordid affair! ā¤ļøā¤ļøšŸ¤£šŸ¤µšŸ‘°ā€ā™€ļø
