This is so bad it feels like a parody but it's a real ad. (I think? I still can't quite accept that it's not an elaborate joke.) Meta really is all about mediocre dudes trying to bring the rest of us down to their level. Yeeesh.

By special request, I've updated the text that shows at the start of a fight in Even Goblins Fall In Love. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

It's the time of the year when Capcom reminds me I share a birthday with Ken Masters.

It's been hard to make progress due to time and energy being leeched away by the actions of the new US administration, but I did put together a gameplay video of a recent build of Even Goblins Fall In Love. youtu.be/teEH0yzjShk #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Due to rising maintenance costs, I have had to close the store on site. It's a bit sad, but you can still get physical copies of our NES games on Etsy: skyboygames.etsy.com/listing/1639... Also, get a 10% off by using code TRANSRIGHTS #indienes #homebrew #retrogame #nes #indieretro #transrights

Easing into some Even Goblins Fall In Love after recovering from MAGFest last week. Yes, the doors in the game are essentially NPCs that don't move and tell you that they're doors when you talk to them. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro #screenshotsaturday

Coincidentally, February is also my birth month! Was it really a coincidence? Did @scrobins.bsky.social know?

I decorated the table for Banana Bash as part of Indie Retro. You can play the game RIGHT NOW at MAGFest! I'll be there Friday and Saturday. If you see a green-haired lady in a Captain N jacket, say "Hi!" #magfest #nesdev #indieretro

I implemented treasures chests in Even Goblins Fall In Love as special-case NPCs. Will I be using the same approach for locked doors? Magic 8-Ball says: "Oh yeah. Most definitely." #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

N64 games have mostly escaped the price spikes of the past few years, and there are some genuinely fun titles in that library. Also, consoles like the NES, Game Boy, and Genesis/Mega Drive have rich homebrew scenes of developers making new games for those consoles (including my Game Boy game Kudzu!)

As I'm blocking out all the story beats for Even Goblins Fall In Love, I'm realizing that the Dragon Quest-style design of the game basically requires some sort of locked door and key system to reward the backtracking inherent to the design. #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

I've made what (few) moves I can to protect my rights ahead of the inauguration. Now, I have to wait to see which specific bigoted actions the new administration will take first. Today is probably a good day to hyper-focus on work.

The pieces are coming together. Ready to do a femme Captain N at MAGFest next weekend.

I added an animation when the player uses the smoke bomb that will give them 100% chance to escape an enemy encounter. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Hmm, changing: for (i = 0; i < DOSE_TYPE_COUNT; ++i) { Foe_Dose_Stack[i] = 0; } to: i = DOSE_TYPE_COUNT; do { --i; Foe_Dose_Stack[i] = 0; } while (i > 0); saves 7 bytes of codesize. Welp, guess I'm doing some code refactoring soon. #nesdev

Even Goblins Falls In Love now has enough of an equipment system to allow the player to choose from several different options and see the effects on their stats. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro #screenshotsaturday
