It's been a while since I got to work on my game, but today I got to knock out a rough implementation of vertical scrolling! Here you can see platform snapping to an offset and different focus points for when you're in the air versus on the ground.

It's #ScreenShotSaturday, and I no longer use pngs for sprites!
I now get all pixel information directly from aseprite files, saving me export time and less manual definitions all around :)

This #ScreenShotSaturday includes more than just my game running! This week, the moving platforms now move along a fixed path! I thought it'd be fun to see a bit more of the dev process, so here you can see the platform being placed via Tiled, my map editor of choice.

Today's the first #ScreenshotSaturday that I'm on time for! This week I implemented moving platforms. Thanks to @maddymakesgames.com for her amazing "Celeste & TowerFall Physics" article! The logic in my GBA game is inspired by the Solids and Actors approach.

Today I FINALLY got level switching on the GBA game implemented! Now I can conceivably make a series of levels that begin to feel like a game, rather than a sandbox.

Once again I continue my tradition of being late to #ScreenshotSaturday. This weekend I got multiple backgrounds working in my GBA game. I got some extra inspiration by buying some of @nauris.bsky.social's pixel art assets in their summer sale! Much better than my dev art! #GameDev

Playing around with the GBA's affine transformations on sprites #gamedev #retrodev #screenshotsaturday

Colors for GBA games are hard. All these photos are showing the same scene rendered. The colors that emulators and FPGA devices display by default are dramatically more luminance, even when filters are applied to make it look more like the original device.

It's no longer #screenshotsaturday, but better late than never, right?

I Spent the weekend learning Natu's new "Scenes" and "Systems" concepts. Here you can see a new version of one of Natu's examples leveraging the functionality. Two scenes instead of the original one!

I've been (very) slowly working on a GBA platformer.

Today, I implemented animation states, starting with just an idle state and a walking state. A small change, but it's really cool how much more "alive" it makes it feel. Animation as "the illusion of life” indeed!

I still think about this UI on a regular basis.

Red Lobster hero or we riot! #fabtcg #highseas

I went 5-0 at my local #FaBHunted prerelease! Here was my list. I played against a bit of everything, 1 Cendra, 1 Arakni, and then 3 Fangs to close out the event. Hunted limited was great! I can't wait to play more.

Riptide has now received his 7th expansion slot card. We’re now at 17 cards if you run playsets, meaning we’ll have LSS’ comeplete vision for the hero in only 21 set releases.

I don’t know about you, but I’m real excited for the 2031 Riptide meta!

#FabTCG

I won my Skirmish today! I went undefeated with this sealed deck. If anyone tells you it’s impossible to win with Lightning heroes, double check your sealed pool just incase that’s what is best!

I’m at my mom’s place today, and I’m trying not to think too hard about how collectible whatever I made these pogs out of was. Most likely an old Nintendo Power magazine? I’ll have to look it up.
