Cosmo Command
@cosmocommand
Creating a shmup for the Game Boy inspired by a certain animals in space franchise.
Courage is my middle name! Or maybe it's "Conspicuously Susceptible to Drawing Felines", but close enough!
So I beat the true ending of the new Star Fox! I've been really enjoying it, though apparently the muscle memory of playing the original 500 times led to medaling most stages on my first try. (Except Aquas. You know where you can go, Aquas.)
Summer is here! ...On Earth anyway. Still, since Julep insists that her "babies" are hand-washed, it seems a perfect time for the #CosmoCommand crew to participate in a classic summertime activity!
So the #CosmoCommand GB Compo demo had an astronomical uptick in views and downloads a few days ago! ...But analytics weren't helpful with determining the source. Any new followers care to share how you discovered the game?
Link's Awakening is easily my favorite Zelda, possibly my favorite Game Boy game, and certainly among my top games period. Mina the Hollower is such a satisfying love letter not just to that game, but the Game Boy Color as a whole. Worth the wait since the Kickstarter and then some!
So what did y'all think of #gameoverse? I really liked the part where she referenced an indie gameboy shmup with her costume changes!
I wanted to try out using rumble in Cosmo Command, so I ordered some cartridges from gbmake.com with that feature. Even got some labels and cases using artwork I supplied. I think the end result is pretty spiffy, and the rumble works great! (Cartridge is in "Cosmo" Purple, of course!)
It's Golden Week, and you know what that means! Julep is relaxing by the beach in the requisite golden bikini. I have to wonder though...how does Rab-Bit tend bar exactly?
I wasn't going to do the thing, but @srkah.bsky.social said I should join him, and one does not turn down an invitation to meme!
Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog. Paloma, resident dog of #CosmoCommand:
As captain of her crew, Cosmo may be no-nonsense now, but I feel like she could've been a bit of a delinquent once upon a time.
I saw this nerd by @srkah.bsky.social and I couldn't help but give her an appropriately nerdy hobby! ...I actually wanted to make her play Cosmo Command, but belatedly realized that A) the Game Boy Color hides half the cartridge when inserted and B) it was really tiny. We can pretend, right?
After much consideration, I have decided space shooter wasn't the right genre for Cosmo Command. I will be changing the name to Doki Doki Cosmo Love Story to better fit its new direction: Visual Novel Date Sim! Look forward to its release April 1st, 2027!
I recently asked my followers for candidates for a costume swap for the #CosmoCommand crew, and I chose Sybil from @rittzler.bsky.social ’s #Pseudoregalia ! It's a hard outfit to pull off, but Cosmo is being a champ about it!
I was experimenting on what "on-foot" missions might look like in #CosmoCommand , but I think the result looks more like Cosmo Command RPG. 😹 #GameBoy #indiedev #GBStudio
So picoCAD 2 by @johanpeitz.com came out a few days ago, so I thought I would try it out. See #CosmoCommand 's star fighter in glorious low-poly 3D!
Did you know #CosmoCommand is based on a 1990s indie #furry comic? ...That's not true, actually, but I had a pang of nostalgia for the aesthetic and couldn't help myself.
Nine games that define me: #My9Games #私を構成する9つのゲーム my9games.com/s/1b14d2dc22...
Since I had such a good time with the previous costume swaps, I'm tempted to do more, but I need your help! Who should the Cosmo Crew trade outfits with? Let me know! Rules for Swap: 1) Anthropomorphic characters, for consistency's sake. 2) Preferably another indie game or comic.
So #StarFox celebrated its 33rd anniversary the other day! I'm a little late, but I thought it would be fun to do another costume swap, this time featuring #CosmoCommand ’s own tribal-garbed telepath trading with Star Fox's Krystal.
This account is overdue for some actual gameplay screens! Here's a mockup of the Forest Planet level, where #CosmoCommand explores a subterranean cave. Palette cycling makes a pretty convincing waterfall, don't you think? #GameBoy #indiedev #GBStudio
