got some good work done on You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl) today. four way menus and submenus are in now. kind of hard to make a cool screenshot or video showing that off but have a screenshot anyway i guess! #GameDev #PixelArt #RetroDev #DosGaming 🎮

a blobber style dithered 3D maze with a fox girl fighting a big red snake with tanto and fox spirit magic. in the top left there is a four way menu with the cursor pointing to the right icon indicating a flaming man. at the bottom of the screen there is an info bar that says "Overdrive: play card with bonus effect"

card flip animation for You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl) :3

Eniko Fox@enikofox· Jun 26

made a picture of this block coding system to illustrate so each block gets processed in turn doing something to the stack: pushing 8 on it, then 3, then popping off two values and adding them and pushing the result, 11

3 blocks with arrows showing the connections between them. the first one is labeled "imm" for "immediate value" with two slots on its side for hex characters showing 0 and 8. once processed the stack has an 8 on it. then it goes to another "imm" block with 03 on it. now the stack has 8, 3 on it. then it goes to a block that just says "add" on all its sides. once this block is processed, the stack has 11 on it because 8+3=11

slowly getting all the battle GUI bits and bobs in place in You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl)

big snake facing off against a smug looking orange/brown kitsune girl with a tanto and magic orbs in a stone dungeon setting. there's a stance bar below the snake and in the upper left corner and HP/Will/Stress displayed in the lower left corner

lol my guild wars 2 boss timers app still works :D amazing. i made this 12 years ago i dunno if all the boss timers are still accurate but so far they seem to be

bottom right of a windows screen, showing a number of toast notifications for guild wars 2 world boss events. they show an icon, name, location, and a chest icon to claim the daily boss reward, a waypoint link icon, and an info icon that leads to the wiki. dimmed notifications say they've been running for a certain time, for events that have already started, and opaque entries have a starting time counting down to zero

vibesky lmao

notifications for a post with a video just have a disembodied floating play button now

Eniko Fox@enikofox· Jun 10

doesn't look like much but i had to do so much work to make this work (arena allocator, scene management system overhaul and more) anyway, now i can push a battle scene onto the scene stack in you have died, with a customizable transition, and then pop it back off the stack to return to the dungeon

If the problem is there's just not enough people there, I basically have as many followers here (13k) as I do there (12k) despite the fact this place has starter packs for low engagement follower-farming And if the issue is that you "can't go viral" on mastodon, I can only say: skill issue

the same post on mastodon and bluesky "i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding"

mastodon has 1.7k boosts and 2.6k favorites, and bluesky has 95 reposts and 602 likes

Eniko Fox@enikofox· Jun 3

i'm more than happy to boost anyone's introduction post to my 12k follower once they join mastodon (it's a thing over there) assuming you've got a filled out bio and avatar image just @ me and send me a link to your intro post via private message

mastodon post box, with post visibility set to "@ private mention" and @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place inside the post box

Eniko Fox@enikofox· Jun 3

there's two misconceptions about mastodon 1. posts on mastodon can't blow up 2. engagement is lower on mastodon than bluesky

post "i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding" on mastodon with 1.1k boosts and 1.8k favorites

exact same post on bluesky with 91 reposts and 585 likes

wake up babe, new You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl) combat mockup just dropped with new player art by @rally.luckyraven.cc very happy with this one. might be the best GUI work i've ever done #GameDev #PixelArt 🎮

a kitsune with blue magic orbs and a tanto faces off against a giant snake set to a crunchy dithered 3D blobber dungeon background. at the top are 4 cards, with red, yellow and blue colors. the cards have one big icon indicating its type, and 2 small icons indicating the damage type (slashing, fire, holy, smashing) and associated stance (aggressive, balanced, guarded).

in the top left and below the enemy are widgets that have a stance icon, indicating the stances for the player and enemy, as well as a turn gauge where a turn can be taken when full. the larger bar for the enemy is red indicating HP, while for the player its blue indicating focus, which allows for drawing cards from the library to the player's deck when full.

under the top left widget are 4 icons representing melee attack, magic attack, defense, and run. below that on the left center is the players deck showing the number of cards remaining. below that in the bottom left are the player's HP, will (for willpower) and stress.

a pointing hand cursor points at the melee attack action icon. at the bottom of the screen is a darkened horizontal bar with a little "info" tag which says "Melee attack"

ok ok i fix

You Have Died dungeon view, not messed up this time

Eniko Fox@enikofox· May 23

i've optimized the dungeon view in You Have Died i am not taking suggestions for improvement at this time

You Have Died dungeon view but it looks very weird with low walls and bits of magenta where transparency should be

Eniko Fox@enikofox· May 21

can confirm

google you're an infant that can't find websites

Sniffle.If you need a website, you will have to do it all by yourself, big kid! My fingers are way too tiny to type on a big keyboard. 🍼👶Can you help me look for my bear instead? 🥺

dungeon battle mockup for You Have Died. pretty pleased with how this came out for such a quick sketch :3 looks like the battle screen might be a good place to bring back the older smaller font 🤔 #GameDev #PixelArt 🎮

a fox girl in the foreground on the right faces off against an earth elemental standing in the center of a stone dungeon backdrop with crunchy colors. in the bottom left are player stats: HP, MP, Will, Stress. at the top of the screen is a selection window showing Firebolt, which costs 2MP and has a cast time of 1 turn. In the left center of the screen are action icons, a star, a swinging sword, a shield, and a fist.

looks exactly the same as before but: - now renders opaque columns front-to-back, then everything else back-to-front to prevent overdraw - wall images are stored transposed in memory for cache coherence

You Have Died dungeon view, with crunchy dithered stone walls, cracked pavers, and lattice ceiling

Eniko Fox@enikofox· May 18

got the dungeon view going for walking around in You Have Died and i gotta say, this feels neat :3 (movement animations are coming later, it's not staying instant) #GameDev #PixelArt 🎮

Eniko Fox@enikofox· May 16

this was before i settled on my 8-bit rgb with 2 tall dither aesthetic, which would make it look like this. which shows pretty clearly that said aesthetic isn't effortless, some care has to go into making sure things don't blend together too much

the same hilly terrain under blue skies covered in trees, rendered in 8-bit rgb with dither. some of the trees on the shadowed side of the hill in the center of the image blend together with the terrain too much

Eniko Fox@enikofox· May 16

fun fact, this image i made in... *checks date* february 2024 was actually my first experiment for that project i wanted to see if i could make something in blender good enough that crunchy low resolution would hide the flaws

hilly terrain under blue skies covered in trees. there's some fog filling up the valley in the distance. the whole thing is compressed to 8 bit dithered color

Eniko Fox@enikofox· May 14

the workflow is super nice: - i use my tile render script in blender, and it renders every frame for a tile - i open the first png in aseprite and make it an animation - i run my 8-bit rgb aseprite conversion script to crunch the colors - i run my blobber tile export script to make the bin file
