I bought a batch of Bandageman logo stickers from #StickerNinja! Might make them for sale to support my extremely legit gaming studio 😅 But I may also just send you one if you DM me nicely. (more stickers maybe coming from the Bandageman Cinematic Universe, someday?) #IndieDev #pico8

I woke up this morning with an idea to make a #pico8 game called "Boxy Foxing," and made this sprite. That's all I got for now. But that's generally how my creative process works. My brain twists some words around on purpose and I go from there. (late #ScreenshotSaturday submission)

For #ScreenshotSaturday, my little #pico8 game "Dream Ghoul" is playable on bandageman.com, or find it in splore! #GameDev #RetroGame #IndieDev

Hey, it's been awhile since I've tinkered with my#Pico8 game. It's a #shmup, but has some constraints. Bullets aren't cheap, you know. I'll try to get this up on the Lexaloffle BBS soon, elsewhere ... someday. #GameDev #RetroGameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

Anyone know what the font used for "THE REPLACEMENTS" on the Tim album cover is? Asking for an I'm-replacing-the-name-of-my-tech-blog-that-has-the-word-Rails-in-it-because-fuck-DHH-and-actually-the-friend-is-me friend. Boosts to your font nerd friends appreciated 😏

The world's a mess so how about some levity. Here's one of my barn cat buddies, Batman.

A few shots for #ScreenshotSaturday. I spent my free time on things that pay money this week, but still made time for Space Cowboy. #pico8 #RetroGameDev #IndieGameDev

Happy pup at the end of his visit to Forest Park. We actually left the neighborhood for a change! 😄 #PibblesOfBsky #STL #LtDan

Pretty busy week, but I was able to start rebuilding the UI, chunky up the title screen, and add alien slug splat to Space Cowboy. Yes, I am easily amused 😅 #ScreenshotSaturday #pico8 #RetroGameDev

The irony of seeing a “Trump Girl, no apologies” shirt at Festival of Nations today. Happily that old … something was very much in the minority today, and minutes later I saw a “Pro queer, pro trans, pro drag, provel” shirt to bring some balance to the day. #STL #FestivalOfNations

In honor of the kickoff of #CollegeFootball, here's me appreciating just how much work is involved in a football video game. #pico8 #ScreenshotSaturday

A little progress on my little game "Some People Call Him the Space Cowboy." The "phaser" powerup packs more of a punch but will eventually run out, and tougher aliens show up as you advance levels. Also of note, the game will now eventually end! #pico-8 #GameDev #shmup #ScreenshotSaturday

Still learning #GameDay and #pico-8 and I've got tons of impostor syndrome around it right now, but it's #ScreenshotSaturday so I'll share one of my several incomplete games: "Some People Call Him the Space Cowboy." Yes, that's the title.

Co-signed. Trash pickup is difficult enough in the city. This will likely sit there for at least a month. Thanks a lot, “neighbor.” #STL #ShittyNeighbor

ok, weekend of procrastination is almost over and here's what I have to show for it: A #pico8 adventure game called Monster Buddies! Possibly the worst code I've written in 20 years but it lots of fun to hack together. May upload it to bandageman.itch.io later. #gamedev #indiedev
