My four hand-drawn style watchfaces, are now one! Sketchbook Horizon brings Ridgeline, Shoreline, Skyline & Treeline together into a single Pebble watchface. Just pick the scene in settings. -> apps.repebble.com/36830cf6f396... @repebble.com #pebble #repebble

I changed the licensing of my Pebble watchfaces. They shared one noncommercial license because LCARS Stardate is a Star Trek fan project. So I finally split them up. LCARS keeps its noncommercial license, while every other face is now open source under the AGPL. @repebble.com #pebble #repebble

I also moved the engine they all use into its own repo, dual-licensed AGPL or PolyForm so both sides can use it. Old LCARS releases are there too. Faces: github.com/AKlitbo/pebble-watchfaces LCARS: github.com/AKlitbo/pebble-watchface-lcars Engine: github.com/AKlitbo/pebble-watchface-engine

Huge update for Stardate 1.9.0! While making Sidereel I spent time porting the Gridlock system to be a little "just a little more friendly". With that I was able to take those improvements with me into Stardate! Changelog -> apps.repebble.com/69139dc57a00... @repebble.com #pebble #repebble

Last night I released all three of my Sketchbook faces for the Round 2. Now I just wait to receive my Round 2 so I can enjoy them! If any Round 2 testers out there want to load em up, I activated the Issue tab on GitHub! @repebble.com #pebble #repebble

Gridlock 0.14.0 is here! Mostly a bug fix pass, and massive code cleanup pass. I went from struggling to be under 65kb to having about 9kb of space just by de-cluttering the grid system. This update also comes with goal fanfare, and savable layout slots! @repebble.com #pebble #repebble

I have not shared the mosaic in a bit, because the way I was building that was... silly. So here is all of the current modules. All I need now is the SDK to update to match the PebbleOS version so I can make a Next Alarm module, do a final cleanup pass, then I can release the source on GitHub.

I hit the 64kb RAM limit in Gridlock so the next update is a bit delayed until I can figure this out. A quick glance at the next version features include iCal integration. I just want the make the most "everything" face I can. It looks like I am now hitting that wall with all my spaghetti.

You can even see my spaghetti, the 1x4 Timeline panel is not using the font color that is passed to it. I just saved like... 8 bytes.

New in Gridlock 0.8.0: Stock integration, all panels with toggleable headers, Clay updates, and more! The 1x2 modules look kind of silly with header off, because the font already scales to it's max size. Changelog -> apps.repebble.com/gridlock_cf6... @repebble.com #pebble #repebble

I reached the cap on how long a message could be from Clay, so I had to rewrite how the colour settings are saved. I am sorry to everybody who lost your presets. :( I think it looks better now though.

Small update to my three Pebble faces (LCARS Stardate, IDE VSCode, and Radar Array). After the recent weather service outage, I changed how weather updates work. The face now keeps showing the last successful reading if a fetch fails or while new data is loading, instead of falling back to dashes.

Gridlock is still coming. Just working through one last issue.

In an attempt to make all my watchfaces easier to maintain I started rolling some of the stuff I learned while making Gridlock to my three basic watchfaces and... I ended up coding myself into a giant bowl of spaghetti... This is what I get for trying to commit to a monorepo with all of my work.

This is very much work in progress so please use with the knowledge I may break your settings at any time... But I will try really hard not to. Source code will come with 1.0.0 (when it's done)!

@ericmigi.com Couldn't decide between Black/Grey or Silver/Grey for the Time 2, so I did a coin toss and got Silver/Grey. Either way I know I won't be disappointed!

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma from @marveloususa.bsky.social is amazing on the Switch 2 so far! A few frame drops on loading a zone but other than that it is silky smooth. My wife is leveling my seeds, and taming animals, while I handle the story, exploration, and bonds. So good. <3

Closing in on Act 3 and I just have to say @expedition33.bsky.social is one of the best turn-based RPGs that I have played since the first time I played The Legend of Dragoon. Great job Sandfall Interactive!

I never followed up. Game was amazing. I found myself deeply wanting more, but had to pull myself away to play other things. If @expedition33.bsky.social does not get game of the year, I really hope it gets the recognition it deserves for music, animation, voice acting, etc.

You are up to date.
