One of my girlfriends convinced me to do another round of paper prototyping after all

Today I played my paper prototype thru several times, adjusted some of the rules, and am feeling fairly good about it

Next to make a digital prototype and hopefully get some feedback on it

Needs a lot of work and no idea if anything will come of this, but I felt the need to sketch out a space station tonight

(Used GB Studio colours cause that's home territory)

Official QGCon 2025 merch now features a small *opabinia regalis*!

This is it, my mark on history. Now it will forever, irrevocably be known that I was one of the organizers in '24/'25 XD

(Another organizer drew this; I just suggested they add opabinia)

A new build of Yurivania 3] with some overdue bug fixes is up! 🏰🌙

mxashlynn.itch.io/yurivania-3
Title screen for Yurivania 3: Circle of the Polycule, displaying the title, a magic circle, and the version number: "1.5" Screen shot from Yurivania 3 showing a 3x3 grid against an abstract background. The witch Never is meditating and there are three cryptic glyphs on the grid. The pixelated scene is rendered in lavenders. A screen shot from the game Yurivania 3: Circle of the Polycule. Everything is rendered in cartoony pixel art and nothing explicit is shown. Four women are seen crossing an underground bridge; a waterfall is flowing in the background. On the left is a scarecrow girl and a slime girl; on the right is a machine girl and a void-horror girl. The void-horror, named Cosmina, is saying: "There is no gravity where I come from." The scene is largely blues with some lavender and pastel green highlights.

I wrote a tutorial for text-based coding in GB Studio — Hello World Four Ways

Learn how to use the GB Studio engine directly from GBVM, C, and Assembly! Along the way, learn a bit about the tech stack and tool chain!

Finally had time to update my GB Studio font pack to include variable width variants and work with GB Studio 3 and above

Tell me if you run into any issues!

Font sample text that reads: "I finally had time to update these fonts to work with G Studio 3 and above. Tell me of any trouble!" Font sample text that reads: "Sphinx of Black Quartz, judge my vow!" Font sample text that reads: "But, I had hardly gone beyond the asteroid belt when I picked up a distress signal!"
