Really happy with how these acrylic Bytes and Knights cards came out! I'll have them with me at my booth (1F-D49) next week at @bitsummit.bsky.social if you're in Japan! 😀 😀

I'm excited to release this teaser trailer for Bytes and Knights - ADVENTURE! It's a retro TCG RPG for Switch, PC, Arduboy, and PS Vita and maybe more. I'll be in Japan showing it off at @bitsummit.bsky.social on May 24th~25th if you want to play it, early. Stay tuned for more info!

Does anyone know if any USB gamepads exist that only have a single button and D-pad? I can only find Atari-like joysticks... (Yes, it's for my Arduboy game. 😅)

After 13 years, I finally released my game!

It's a cozy narrative game with light platforming, with one cute dragon! Works great on a Steamdeck; take it on the go or play on PC!

So happy. I released. Onto the next project. :'''')

Over on the Arduboy forums, I've put up a $150USD bounty for anyone who can find a safe way to switch between two different games. If anyone is able to do this, I'll finally be able to add a lot more features to my Bytes and Knights game! community.arduboy.com/t/150usd-bou...

Here's a recent homebrew project I made to put real-time 3D shading on the Game Boy Color!

This one involved some interesting math and GBZ80 assembly. I describe it in detail in my blog post here: blog.otterstack.com/posts/202512...

Just released my Pebble watchface! It's a 1:1 recreation of the title screen for Pokemon Red/Blue, even with the animations! I have several color modes and even had to recreated all of the sprites in 1-bit form. 😅 Love this watch so much!

I did it! I finished programming the Pokedex for the Arduboy FX! It contains all sorts of details for each of the original 151 Pokemon, including stats, evolutions, abilities, and even footprints. Another cool feature is that you can mark each Pokemon as caught or favorited. 🫡

LET'S GOOOOO!!! The Supreme Court in Europe threw out Kevin Comadran's appeal! It's OVER for his scam! Medabots is now in the hands of the rightful owners! Let's hope Imagineer sues him for damages, now!

I got in my Magi-Nation haul from their reboot Kickstarter. Been so overwhelmed with getting married (twice) and moving, so I will soon be able to finally play some matches with some friends.

I finally got in the proxies I designed/printed for a Kung Pow-themed Magic: The Gathering Commander deck. I have friends who make wacky-themed decks, so I thought it would help inspire me with a starting point since I am pretty bad at MTG. The deck list is here: moxfield.com/decks/Cf6vqS...

Living in Korea has a lot of perks, like being able to attend the yearly Pokemon Town event in Seoul, each year. But, this time, there is a twist because it's themed after Ditto, and there is even a Korean-exclusive Pokemon card as part of its Metamong Project. #메타몽프로젝트

At the Korean League for Pokemon, again! Playing another rogue deck! Let's see if my Steelix/Dodrio deck can stand a chance! First round is about to start! Let's go! #코리안리그 #광주 #포켓몬카드

Every year, there is a rotation that happens in the Pokemon TCG, making older cards unusable in the standard format. This year, an unusually high number of my decks are becoming impossible to use as critical cards rotate out. 😥 So, I wanted to break down each one for you.

Decided to do some pixel art, today. I think a small fighting game with these kinds of sprites would be so cool. These would also translate to 1-bit pretty easily, too. #PixelArt
