Happy #screenshotsaturday! I didn't get much done with the game this week, but I did manage to replace the placeholder sprites! #gameboy #gbstudio #gbc #indie #indiedev #pixelart

Finally got the koopa working. Now I just need to get it to walk around and we should be good to go there. #gameboy #gbstudio #indie #indiedev

I'm still working on some basic enemies, such as the original koopa (these will be replaced with original enemies later). I appreciate platformers more now because it's a lot just to do basic things. #gameboy #gbstudio #indie #indiedev

This is my progress so far with Legendary Lorenzo Land. The Mario assets are placeholders for now. I have it so you can take damage, stomp on an enemy, and lose your power up status. Enemies also will just walk off a cliff for now. #gameboy #gbstudio #indie #indiedev

I got the currency system up and running. Each game will cost a different amount, and subtract that number from your total earned money. Legendary Lorenzo Land is supposed to be the most accessible one, so I only made it a dollar. #gameboy #gbstudio #indie #indiedev #retro #gbc

Happy #screenshotsaturday! We're working on a post jam version of GRIME TIME, and that means we're adding an Arcade mode where you can spend the money you earn in game to buy lives for other games. One is going to be called "Legendary Lorenzo Land." Ignore the placeholder music and Mario sprite lol.

I managed to add in a results screen for the game, based on how well you did. My fastest time is 6 minutes. I'm excited to see how fast everyone else is! #gbjam #gameboy #gbstudio #retro #indie #indiedev

Happy #screenshotsaturday! The game is just about finished and will likely be released tomorrow or Monday morning. I just need to fix some major bugs. #gbjam #gameboy #gbstudio #retro #indie #indiedev

Got the elemental weakness system set up. Some attacks do more damage than others, depending on the mess. #gbjam #gameboy #gbstudio #retro #indie #indiedev

I added a "combo cleanup" system where you can combine cleaning actions to do more damage in battle. Next is adding an elemental weakness system. #gbjam #gbstudio #gameboy

The battles are coming together surprisingly well. There are some bugs not shown here, but I'm sure I can squash them. Here's a look at the first battle in the game! #gbjam #gameboy #gbstudio

I managed to get the time system working! Now the clock in the top left will show slices missing for each 5 minutes that passes, up until the 30 minute deadline. You can still check the time elapsed by pressing "Select" too. #gameboy #gbstudio #gbjam #pixelart #retro #indie #indiedev

Still working on getting this time system right. In the meantime, we managed to get the design of the main character done. We decided this character was gonna be named "Zack Scrubbs" and the game's full name would be "Zack Scrubbs in Grime Time." #gbjam #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

The team and I have decided to name the game "Grime Time" and have added a countdown timer. The goal is to clean your room before 30 minutes are up. I'm using the RTC to time it so it's actually 30 irl minutes. The visual timer at the top is still a WIP though. #gameboy #gbstudio #gbjam #pixelart

Happy #screenshotsaturday! I'm participating in #gbjam 13! My team and I decided to go with the idea of a kid who wants to playing on his Game Boy all summer, but then an unlucky cascade of filth overtakes his room and his mom won't give his Game Boy back until it's clean. #gameboy #gbstudio

Thank you. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone that backed my game, "Leopold Kills a God" on Kickstarter. We did not reach the funding goal (not even close), but I learned a lot in the process and I'm happy to know there are some people that want to play a game like this. The game will still get made, just with a smaller scope and it may take longer. Though the Game Boy version might not be in the cards right now, I will still try to make that version a reality as well. Once again, thank you. I am truly grateful for this opportunity. -GameSetBoy

Happy #screenshotsaturday! This week I've managed to program in an affection bar and another overworld map (the Fae Forest). Leopold Dates a God is coming right along and I'm having a blast using #renpy.

Been working hard on Leopold Dates a God lately. I added a world map you can scroll to pick who to talk to. Eventually, you'll be able to travel between maps to meet more characters.

Happy #screenshotsaturday! I'm working on a date sim game in #renpy while I'm waiting for some assets to be done for Leopold Kills a God. This one's called Leopold Dates a God, where you can romance every enemy and character from the game. Here's a little snippet! Art is placeholder for now.
