TIL: trains come in 12pc, just like chikn nuggies

The Rockwell version has goggles. Do you have goggles?

I've just always thought this critter is so cute. I want one.

Here's a close up...

Here's a mockup I made in Photoshop of the idea. Just focusing on the phosphor triads. Might have to zoom in to see what's happening. Now to do it in code... ⌨️

I don't know how I didn't realize this until now. I am *Return of the Jedi* years old. 🥲

Decide to write an NES-like engine for PC. Just getting the foundational features setup, currently. Palettes, patterns, nametables and such. Rendering happens in two passes, because reasons. She's fast. I call her Daisy (as in princess). Here's today's test data running. #nes #gamedev #pixelart

Some smol space critters #hyperdrivesoul #nes #homebrew #pixelart

Pixels for a collaboration. Can't remember if I selected these numbers or if they were assigned to me, but I had fun reading the creepy texts and designing to fit the given resolution. #pixelart

Here's the full set of stream assets. I really enjoyed these nostalic cartoon emoji.

Going through files and just found this 4 color variant. #pixelart #streetfighter #chunli

Stream graphics for a friend in the Quake mapping community. I enjoyed the lines and the (challenging) simplicity of the limited neutral palette. #pixelart

This was the original drawing of my profile pic, sharing for posterity and because I still feel good about these pixels. #pixelart

Y'all been so kind! Over 100 of you have followed in the last few days. Thank you for taking interest in my retro adventures. 💜✨ #nes #crt #retrogames #pixelart

Concept for the shop screen: a bill of sale. Small number of goods shown. Add/Remove supplies or equipment. Purchase or Exit when ready. #hyperdrivesoul #nes #retrogames #pixelart #rpg

First CRT I've had in decades. Feels good to see my pixels running on real NES hardware to a television set. #nes #crt #retrogames #homebrew

Since QuakeBoy is getting a bit of attention, I thought I'd brush up the first two with some color. Taking liberties for fun. Call it QuakeBoy DX. ✨

Made this for a glitch art collaboration, so this piece went onto actual NES carts and I have one :) #nes #homebrew #retrogames #glitch #art

Also borrowing the "low health" palette change from DragonWarrior/Quest.

A couple of revisions later, this is what I've got for battle screen mockup. The command and output windows are combined. The status window is separate for the sake of minimizing the amount of data in one area. Sub-commands are shown as a pop-up. #hyperdrivesoul #nes #gamedev #retrogames

Revision... combined status and command windows, pop-ups for command options.

Battlescreen mockups for HyperDrive Soul. The two ideas so far are: · classic, nostalgic, based on overlapping windows · flat, expanded, but maybe confusing for cursor focus? Also weighing the idea of "loaded" sub-options vs. selectable sub-menu. #hyperdrivesoul #retrogames #rpg #nes #homebrew
