Toki Tori for Game Boy Color

I made a "recreation" of the old #TokiTori website from 2001, when it released on #GameBoy Color! Check it out here: svrbrndmg.neocities.org (I didn't wanna pay for a website lol)

cool thing of the day: please check out the Pantaloon newsletter for free bold & bizarre indie games sent to your inbox, which you solve very fun puzzles to guarantee your key of. I already have 3 games from it and loved all of them! Also great for indie devs as well. ๐Ÿ™‚ @pantaloon.io #indiegames

the sign of becoming a true blue programmer is when you start typing both parentheses first, and then returning to them to actually write your text, even on social media

Development of the idle game is goin' strong!

Gonna add some more upgrades (for a total of about ~11, not including Ascensions), maybe another building, some excellent tracks from friend DJ Samidy (handle is @samidy dot com) and other funky stuff!

Tomorrow is playtest day! (More info tomorrow)

Alright, so, my friend Samidy (@handle.invalid) gave me a lot of helpful feedback and I've decided to push the game back a little bit. Expect it around Thursday or Friday. (if you don't know what I'm talking about, check my other posts)

Here's some screenshots at least ;)

My first "game", "Hardcore Idler", will release tomorrow on itch and GameJolt for free. It's not very big or important, but it is my first! No engine was used, just pure pygame power.

And yes, this cover photo really, really sucks. It was the best I could muster in paint dot net.

Aight, cya then!

Github could be a social media and that scares me.

Imagine seeing someone's status change from "๐Ÿ’ญprocrastinating" or "๐ŸŽฎMaking a game" to "๐Ÿค”@svrbrndmg actually, slavery wasn't THAT bad"

Cave Story is good, but I stopped playing pretty early on in the town(?) area. Something wasn't clicking. Still, it's important for the history of the genre, and I can see it's merits. Maybe time to return?

Haven't and can't play the Ori games due to my shit PC tho sadly

absolutely love websites that keep the old look from the 2000's, like qbittorrent or blogger. They're so shiny, so easy to navigate compared to the "sleek" corporate trough slop of today.

Just bring back the Web 2.0 ahh look for major companies at this point please, we need it now more than ever

haven't played those but plan to
There's a reason Mossbag can just show an area with patrolling enemies in a video. There's lore, but also story YOU make during your playthrough. The ecosystems are beautiful. Hallownest is a living world, though past its prime. The level design only serves it, too.

Hollow Knight is the only great recent metroidvania and that saddens me. I played Guacamelee and this game is just walking from obstacle to obstacle, boss to boss with your new powers. It doesn't have the exploration and choice that made HK brilliant. It's fine, ig.

Metroidvanias are hard, man

I love how Iโ€™m not seeing any rage bait here or anyone being assholes at least on my TL itโ€™s super peaceful & chill.

Itโ€™s just gamers playing games posting about games, talking about games & enjoying the hobby as a whole. Also random life tidbits here and there. Some food pics. Animals. I love it.

getting good at making games involves mastering the basics sure but the longer i do this the more iโ€™m convinced that โ€œthe basicsโ€ isnโ€™t coding, design, art, innovative unique ideas, or UIโ€ฆ itโ€™s developing the difficult habit of actually
*finishing something*

If you want to really, truly have moral choices in video games, forget "evil - good" options.

What you're REALLY looking for is "convenient - inconvenient" options.

Seriously, the #1 most common test of morality is that little bit of extra effort required, and that's what will actually test people
