Okay. This is amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Br7... I have an idea for a Superman comic where Brainiac, instead of consuming all knowledge and destroying worlds, decides it would be more fun to just make up his own facts and watch them spread.

Another pixel Pup has entered the chat!

Thanks for the nice video covering the Japanese versions of the Series One cards!

I get really annoyed when a name shows up on a report, I ask them, & they immediately deny, so I spend 5 extra minutes showing them their name, what was done, & then they're like "Oh, yeah." Real easy fix, but we have to spend 2x as long on it because we're playing hide & seek about what happened.

@urbanbohemian.com Hey, this is a test. flocksurveillance.org - see if this gets blocked here. 🤣

Pretty surreal to be in a print magazine. 12 year old me would be proud. (Issue 66 of Return Magazine, a German retro game magazine)

Holy Forking Shirtballs. Is this the origin of The Good Place? (Spoilers) www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Last post on this. The store closes tonight at 10pm eastern. Back to your regularly scheduled doom scrolling.

I think an e-reader game that communicates over the wireless adapter might be possible. It would be just about the most asinine video game ever made, which intrigues me :)

A new version of Pixel Pup with a few bug fixes is now available. Thanks to @laytonloztew.bsky.social for finding the worst bug of the bunch. retrodotcards.itch.io/pixel-pup/de...

Pixel Pup, a #picross style game for the #GBA is now available! There's a demo too. retrodotcards.itch.io/pixel-pup #indiedev #gameboy

I'm working on custom Pick 2/3 folders for @cardsagainsthumanity.com and @dragoncon.org this year. Should be awesome!

Anyone I know going to Dragon Con?

This site has a lot of e-reader info including many Nintendo Power scans. gbasp.ru/ereader-en.h... This page of the Game & Watch games is a nice peak at what could have been.

I have Mega Cards Against Humanity set up at GenCon for 10pm. Older guy walks past the table, gives the pile the stink eye, picks up a card, looks at it in disgust, the flicks it back down and walks away.  I'm really curious what card this poor guy saw... so I go over and pick it up... 🤣

@cardsagainsthumanity.com at GenCon with a dozen players and over fifty pounds of cards. You are not ready!

Well, Pixel Pup isn't going to make it for July :( But, I'm confident we'll make August. The game is entirely done, except it turns out music on the #GBA is challenging. We're also adding in one last feature. It just doesn't seem right for a RetroDotCards release to not use the e-Reader! #indiedev

Is anyone I know planning to go to GenCon this year?

July… ☀️ Dizzy Sheep Disaster EX (for the Nintendo e-Reader) by @sarahlynne.bsky.social @mteegfx.com & @humanthomas.bsky.social #NES #homebrew #nesdev #NESmaker #indiegames #gamedev #ファミコン #同人ゲーム

Itch has decided not to index my game for some reason, so the only way anyone can find it right now is through bluesky. Would really appreciate it if you could check it out!

It's hot, Don.

We are aiming for a late July release of Pixel Pup for the #GBA It will launch without e-Reader support. It might gain e-Reader support in the future though. More info here: www.retrodotcards.com/pixel-pup/er...

About a dozen copies left in this batch! Grab a copy of Dizzy Sheep Disaster for your e-Reader! #gba

VERY rudimentary right now but what you've got here is Wolfenstein like Raycasting on the Game Boy. Full movement and staffing. \o/ #indiedev #gameboy #GBDK2020 #retrogaming #gbstudio #screenshotSaturday

I have cards again! I’ll be restocking Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX on Tuesday at 12pm us/eastern time. If they sell out, I’ll keep making more! I’m not quite sure what demand looks like yet, so please be patient. I’m excited to keep sharing this game with the world! #homebrew #gba #retrogame

After a bit of travel I'm back home and getting new Gameboy Advance e-Reader cards printed! Hoping to have some packs up in the store soon :) This version can also be saved to the e-reader! #homebrew #gamedev

The first generation of Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX cards are just about sold out! Thank you for the support! A complaint I got a lot was that the game can’t be saved to the e-reader - the next print run fixes this! I’ll be starting up sales again in June!

Dizzy Sheep Disaster EX may be the richest and most fully formed thing you can put onto an e-reader. This is not an ad, I’m just telling you about something great.

Life is rarely XOR.

I know it's stupid unlikely, but what are the odds someone could get me in contact with Jason Mantzoukas? 🤣

Completed a dumb sub-collection today. Puppers!

I love how slick the menus look! You'll be able to play these puzzle packs and more in #PixelPup, the upcoming #GBA #nonogram game from @retrodotcards.com and me. 😄 🧩 Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tarm... Demo: city41.itch.io/pixel-pup-demo #PixelArt #ドット絵 #GBC #IndieDev #GameDev #homebrew

@hunter-r.com Did you ever look into what, exactly, causes this glitch? www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/09...

This is my favorite line from an actual game news article.

Look at this baby lil mosaic! We added this mosaic that uses 5x5 pieces as a change of pace from the other mosaics in the game. The others use 15x15 pieces and can be a feat to take on. This is for Pixel Pup, a nonogram/picross game coming to the #GBA. Demo here: city41.itch.io/pixel-pup-demo

@retrodotcards.com and I make a good team! I drew the #PixelArt in this scene, and he brought it to life with swaying, swimming, and bubbling~ 🫧 It's awesome to work with such a talented and ambitious developer on #PixelPup! city41.itch.io/pixel-pup-demo #GBA #nonogram #IndieDev #GameDev #homebrew

Read about my weekend attending my first gaming convention ever, co-hosting a Metroidvania panel with Jeremy Parish, taking over Diamond Feit’s panel, and having lunch with ex-Xbox exec Ed Fries.

Hey @shenm.bsky.social, E-Snake was his favorite :)

Very cool to see RetroDotCards featured in a video from a great YouTuber. Thanks Planet Clue! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUn8...

www.ebay.com/itm/39790055... It's mine!

andys-hat.itch.io/faceball-200... Apparently, you can now (sorta) play FB2K with 16 players online. I can't seem to get it to work with a tablet/keyboard combo though. :(

I think competitive mode is going to be fun. The players solve the same board, and whoever filled in the most tiles wins. If a player gameovers early, the other player goes into sudden death with their remaining time cut in half. If that player finishes, they win, else tile count is the tie breaker.

Video patrons: I have edited together a proper rendition of the presentation that @katewillaert.bsky.social and I delivered last weekend at MGC, complete with slides and video bits: www.patreon.com/posts/belate... Thanks to @playhistory.bsky.social for help with the source files for this!
