Adding #sauce to my #GBStudio game every day- Day 89 Maids, guns, skeletons and minecarts. I just keep adding cool stuff to the game. How's it looking?

It's really interesting to see Souls style PvP in The Duskbloods where every character has access to everything, including melee, ranged, and spells. Giving every character a gun is especially awesome and adds so much depth as well as giving some solution to the age old problem of heal spam.

It feel like a really solid evolution. A little bit more like Armored Core with more movement and more offensive simultaneous options, but still keeping it mostly grounded with the defensive options from Souls. I didn't expect the combat to feel so fresh.

The Duskbloods is fun, it feels like Nightreign but a lot tighter. Having the goal to beat other players at the end is more fun to me as well, but I can see why a lot of people don't like PvP. Also there's schmovement... so much schmovement. Cool spacing and abilities, feels like a fighting game.

I never gave an update on this but I ended up just writing my own collision code, which was a headache. Now it does what you would reasonable expect it to do, and pretty quickly too. At one point I might consider proposing it as a GBS feature, but for now I'll keep testing it in my game.

I'm going to go insane crazy style... GB Studio doesn't actually have diagonal collision for actors? In the collision code, they just walk around things in the Y direction and then the X direction. Collision in the diagonal direction is never checked. Thousands of hours and I never noticed...

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

I'll say it again: Reviews are the best way you can help a game you love (besides telling everyone you know about it!). If you like/love a game, pop a review on their Steam page. It makes the devs day, provides feedback, enhances the search algorithm and tells new players what to look out for.

With regards to that last repost, reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. Everyone following me? DO THIS NOW! I'm asking for replies so more folks pick this up, and continue it. Please take this graphic and ask your followers to do the same!

Okay this was brought up a long time ago in the Github issues. There are some alternatives already in the works. It might be time for me to upgrade my game to 4.3...

the idea that games are the result of a single person's ironclad vision rather than a thousand little decisions and compromises and individual people's ideas all coming together in complicated ways

This post is unavailable.

The muted palettes of this game have been a very big inspiration for my GB Studio work recently. The sprite art is also very good, and the backgrounds in the cutscenes are awesome.

To celebrate Trading Card Inspector's release, let's look at some cards I illustrated! I vividly remember drawing Professor Quirky because I drew his pickle shaped head with no plan, and just starting adding features. He was one of the very first. Last day of 30% off on Steam! tinyurl.com/habubis

Thanks to some GB Studio wizards at the discord, I was able to get SEAMLESS SPRITE SHEET SWAPS working as a workaround to that 1 frame graphical hiccup that you can hopefully see here (may be tricky with bsky video compression). Sharing the tech for bsky folks here in this 🧵: #gbstudio #gameboy

Super proud of the team for getting to Very Positive, a huge milestone for our game! Trading Card Inspector is certified Very good!

It's crazy that if you choose an overly detailed art style for your game random people pop out of the woodwork and start calling it AI. I guess this is one of the only times in my life I'll be thankful I can't render to save my life.
