Me: Trying to finish a (rather delayed) very basic game showing how to use the Game Boy 4-player adapter

My brain: How about you make a new 8x8 pixel font just for this trivial game instead of finishing your code

...

#font #gameboy #pixelart

zoomed in screenshot showing a 26 letter 8x8 pixel art font that is white with a 1 pixel black outline. some of the font features: diagonal slants on the ascenders or descenders, diagonal notching cut out of the bottom left corners, hard-squarish upper left corners

Hi, hard to say. I work on it very irregularly. I think I started about a year ago.

OK, I think I'm complete my 'what if Outrun' demo for the Game Boy Color. 🌴

- Fixed some last bugs
- Added a startup sequence... maybe it's too cheeky? !:)

Will release for free on Monday the 19th of May on @itch.io

I used to keep a semi regular YouTube channel for my process videos too. It's nothing too exciting but I always think about reviving it.
