It looks amazing so far! I hope you don't have many frames to animate because that does indeed look like it might be a chore 😅

Aha. Concerns about a new owner
Makes sense to me, but I suppose we'll find out 😄

Hopefully they dont decide to stop development, remove access to downloads/licenses, and effectively disappear from the community leaving users who depended on it without support

There are always backups though

It reads as though there is a new major release coming October 30th. Not sure why you'd think it is "toast" 🤷. Not a fan of things changing maybe?

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 4d

Seems to say a lot more than "future". Maybe you caught it at a bad time

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 18d

Sort of ironic that Sony gave it that name and then gave up on it, but it refuses to die. I never liked the name "Vita" before, but seeing it persevere without official support makes it all make sense

Screen-door effect is a beautiful thing

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 21d

Yay finally!

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · 24d

Wow, those colors!!

Overworld menus are almost done. ITEM use, transfer and discard are done. What's left: STATUS formation, EQUIP and SEARCH. Then we're finally moving on to the BATTLE LOOP! ⚔️🐉

Just make it exist first!

Speaking of... Myself and a couple friends are making a new Dragon Warrior inspired NES JRPG exist! Check it out: sebotron.itch.io/the-book-of-...

Possibly something else at fault here. I run Firefox + Ublock Origin on desktop and Librewolf + Ublock Origin on laptop. I have never experienced this issue on either machine

Sounds interesting!

Try ShaderGlass if youd like to play around with other CRT fliters for your art. There are many built-in and they're super configurable

Bit of a different style, but a fun one regardless

Made some good progress on the battle loop. Also integrated new monsters, designed by @prettystrange.bsky.social! Do these look bad ass or what? #nesdev #jrpg #dragonquest #thebookofrynn

Sounds like every social media platform, really. Thankfully bsky has great self-moderation tools to keep you in control of what you see

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · Jul 27

I believe in you

Flashing screen warning (near the end)! I've been working on spell casting in the overworld. Trying to keep it accurate but will allow disabling screen flashes in-game. And yes, we have a spell called "Poof".

This feels like its becoming hostile. Just saying this was avoidable and nobody should ever make or connect a MS account to Windows

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · Jul 22

Okay, but the topic is using Windows, not applying to a job at Microsoft.

PrettyStrange @prettystrange.bsky.social · Jul 22

You also don't have to give them an email or make a Microsoft account
