Dungeon crawler concept for the #gameboy
I'm not very experienced with #pixelart and the render resolution is a bit low, but I kind of like it. What do you think?

No longer Saturday, but
I experimented with #blender and the #gameboy color palette over the weekend.

Finally got my #playdate! After some serious #optimization, my #fallingsand demo now updates 8 times per frame at 50 FPS. That's >400 times per second!
The trick: Instead of iterating over each pixel (bit) individually, I'm doing a bunch of bitwise operations per byte. #indiedev #gamedev

Shader debugging feels like forensic chemistry sometimes:

"We're gonna mix this value with this matrix and see what happens. If the screen turns blue, then it's a valid normal. If it turns red then it's a zero length vector."

"Okay, so... hm. What's it mean when it turns black?"
