Turns out making a #turnbased #mockup is more addictive than I thought. Here are some updates: I reworked the cliff tiles, but the new version was too detailed compared to the unit sprites so i scrapped it. πŸ˜… What do you guys think? #gameboy #retro #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #γƒ‰γƒƒγƒˆη΅΅ #gbc

But that's not all - today is the debut of PAPER LABYRINTHS, a new show from @nictringali.bsky.social and me that features conversations about cross-disciplinary game design. Tabletop, board games, immersive theater, video games, and the people that work and make art where those disciplines meet.
