Please tell me there's a card explaining the Mason Jar card. And the pooping back and forth forever card.

I already posted this on my main account but here's my required drawing for the day :)

This one has some minor fixes and is pretty close to what I think will be the final version.

Onto drawing lots of bugs next!
An E-Reader card for the game Pixel Pup. It shows an illustration of Franny the dog on the left side, the logo for the game on the right, and a geometric background. On the left there is a call out that says "how to play retrodotcards.com/pixel-pup"

Wow. That's class, right there.

I’ve been working on packaging for Dizzy Sheep Disaster lately, here’s a prototype of the e-reader booster pack design!

The label art is a mockup pending final design from @mteegfx.com, who I know is gonna make it look amazing!

Drawing for October 4th, my first one!

I will try to post a new drawing every day. I am using this account to motivate me to practice and get better.

My main account is @retrodotcards.com , I make games for the Nintendo E-Reader. Stop on by!
Three sketches of Franny the dog. The left is her head with a collar on. The collar has a medallion that says "RDC" on it (retro dot cards). The upper right is a line ink drawing of her entire body, and the lower right is a drawing of her holding up a sign that says "pixel pup".

The bug that crashes Franny Answers is now totally confirmed, as I hit the same bug in PixelPup.

SpriteFree does not truly deallocate sprites. Or maybe it does with an added parameter, who knows? The pitfalls of developing for a proprietary system that has to be reverse engineered to be understood.

I'm super stoked to finally reveal these card designs, y'all. Everything from the text, illustration, and layout are the culmination of something I've been wanting to do for a long, hot minute; and @sarahlynne.bsky.social's been a total blast to work with on it.

So, like, an English and a Japanese "engine" card(s) and just puzzles on the other cards?

Because now I'm wondering what happens with the Animal Crossing mini-games if you scan a wrong-region character card.

Maybe it was made by Wayne Enterprises in the 60s? Their CEO loved to label things back then.

Thanks to @theunclebob.bsky.social's idea I was able to think of an idea that I'm really excited about. Hopefully I can pull it off. And even better, I think I will still have room for yet another feature on top of it.

Who says you can't fit cool games onto pieces of paper?

30 years ago, you were crazy to think "they" were spying on you through your TV. Now, we have smart TVs with cameras connected to the internet and selling every scrap of data they can to anyone willing to pay.

Obviously, the number of puzzles/cards can be adjusted however you want.

Would there be any way possible to split one image across four puzzles on four cards, requiring the player to complete all four puzzles to see the completed image?

I totally read this as "live singing" and, upon re-read, my disappointment is measurable. 🤣

How in the world did this game never get a sequel in the US?

My picross game for the Nintendo e-Reader, Pixel Pup, will have themed puzzle collections. The first theme is "entomology", so I'm exploring costumes for Franny (the game's mascot)

#gamedev #indiedev #videogamesonpaper
Six different ideas for Franny the dog with an "entomology costume". She is low res pixel art, and the six different costumes are: bug antenna, holding a bug net, a bee costume, holding a bug display box, big fly eyes, and holding a magnifying glass.

Oh! NES Golf and NES Open Tournament Golf.

I'd support original Link's Awakening alongside the DX version, if they'd do it.

For every c-tier game, there's someone out there that loved it back in the day for whatever reason.
