Ahoy! Just a quick shout-out to say that I'm still alive and working on Tower of Zazel! I am right now working on a way to implement a global timer in the Game Boy. Here's a screenshot of the scenes I have so far!

Woah! So cool!

Continuing my experimentation on recreating mid-90s and edutainment style textures. Including both the dithered version and the non-dithered. Would love to read what you out there think of it!

Ahoy! I wanted to ask for some advice and see what people think. Which of these textures do you prefer? I am aiming for textures that look as if they were from an early 90s PC educational game. Your input helps a lot!

Ahoy! I wanted to share with you the latest on the inventory screen since my last post! Added a character portrait. Hair, eyes, and shirt had to share the same colors. But perhaps we can bring green hair back?

I never used anything like this. But I imagine that it would be cool to make a game based on this!

Ahoy! Been working on on the title screen lately and I really wanted to show off the progress! I think the parallax effect adds to the tension and mystery in the game's setting. I need some really atmospheric music!

Somewhere we lost the way

Love the style here. Too far away to see it though

ohh, a documentary game in this style would be awesome! Please let me know if you plan to start one!

No problem! Have you thought of making a game in this style?

Woah! This is amazing! Such inpiering work!

Bonus gnome!

Last weekend, I took part in the Super Bionic Bash Game Jam!

The theme was Swedish folklore, and I had an awesome time!
I want to share the two characters I created for the jam:
🐉 The Lindwyrm
💰 A gold-hoarding gnome

Me when "Compiling error"

Thank you :) I really appreciate that!

Love it! Perhaps I should too try this style of retro computer some time?

Ahoy! ⚓ This is the logo screen I’m using for my Game Boy projects.
I’m going for a retro-fantasy meets vaporwave vibe—if you’ve got any ideas to make it cooler, I’d love to hear them!
