Gbstudio developer that focuses on monster collecting RPGs and management simulation games. Currently working on "Eggbound" a monster collecting RPG for the Gameboy (and possibly Gameboy Color) inspired by Dragon Warrior Monsters.https://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3msrln2ft3k2qI've been drawing battles on the current scene. There was an issue with text drawing in the wrong spot due to the scene scrolling offsets,so I decided to split the dungeon and the battle into two separate scenes - but you'd probably never know! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gameboy11 Aug 2026 02:40 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3msrln2ft3k2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mr7aplfads2nNothing spectacular, but I did do a bit of work using overlays to set up some more "fake" menus so the background continues to animate during selection. Oh! And I animated the selection cursor sprite. #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #retrogaming22 Jul 2026 02:12 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr7aplfads2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mqntz56k722aI am obsessed with how good this turned out. Respective party info now collapses when a monster is defeated and the background is animating flawlessly through dialogue and menus. Basic battle system complete! #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #retrogaming #retrogames15 Jul 2026 04:09 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqntz56k722ahttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mql3vrctmk2pI've finished the basic attack system for battles. Turn order is set by speed (720 possible combinations for a 3v3) and is then executed. It scales down depending on how many monsters are in the battle. Don't mind the test dialogues. #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame14 Jul 2026 01:52 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mql3vrctmk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mqgbkwlyec2cDid some work on expanding the battle system this evening. I now have it checking and sorting 6 unique monsters and creating a turn order according to their speed. Now I just need to attach actions to each turn slot. Nothing to show for it yet, but I'll post a video when it's up and running.12 Jul 2026 03:51 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqgbkwlyec2chttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mqaxwblths2jNot a whole lot of time for gamedev today, so I combed through the battle system and removed any visual flickers, sped up the damage animation and added in a slight camera shake when an enemy attacks. I think it looks pretty good. #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart10 Jul 2026 01:15 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqaxwblths2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mq6s4r2ojc2bThere is some variance for the final damage, but we're working with lil' numbers so it didn't show very well in the last post. I still have to comb through and remove visual flickers, but it's nice to have something playable! #gbstudio #gameboy #pixelart #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming09 Jul 2026 04:26 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq6s4r2ojc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mq6rivdf622bHere we go! A very basic battle system. Next we add more party members and some more enemies. #gbstudio #gameboy #pixelart #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming #retrogames09 Jul 2026 04:14 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq6rivdf622bhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mq45bf62pk2oGotta start the tech demo somehow. The video is a bit long, if you watched it all I appreciate you! #gbstudio #gameboy #pixelart #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming #retrogames08 Jul 2026 03:07 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq45bf62pk2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mpyy2onqq22jI'm starting to put together a tech demo for Eggbound. You'll start by naming your first monster. Then you'll be able to walk around a small cloud island encountering a few monsters to battle. Maybe one will join your party if you're lucky! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #gameboy06 Jul 2026 20:56 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpyy2onqq22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mpujhvlmkc2wBeen stuck doing lot of behind-the-scenes work lately. Nothing flashy to show, but I did do some work on the menu system. BUT, that means it's time for the battle system! #gbstudio #gameboy #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #retrogaming #pixelart05 Jul 2026 02:24 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpujhvlmkc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mpfktfi4xc2wStarting work on the non-menu, menus! All so the background will keep animating while making selections. @kc.wildnaturegames.net really pulled through with this artwork. #gbstudio #gameboy #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #nintendo #retrogames #retrogaming #monstertaming #rpg #jrpg #gamedev29 Jun 2026 03:38 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpfktfi4xc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mpczhz2mqc2cTossed in a few monsters to implement the random encounter system. Still some work to be done, but we're making good progress! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gameboy #pixelart28 Jun 2026 03:23 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpczhz2mqc2chttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mpaij4i2yk2hThe DMG is pretty limited in terms of drawing text. After a few short dialogues, the previous text starts to get overwritten. I've implemented a new way of drawing text using the common tileset to stop that from happening. Take that DMG limitations! #gbstudio #gamedev #gameboy #indiedev27 Jun 2026 03:14 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpaij4i2yk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3moyxxknp5c2bImplementing the battle system over the new tiles. That moving background during the battle sure does look pretty slick! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #nintendo #gameboy #pixelart24 Jun 2026 03:29 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3moyxxknp5c2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mowiprcxvk2tRevamping the info pages a bit due to all the heavy text drawing. Got a bit more optimizing to do before I'll be happy, but we're getting there. I'm trying to keep the screen transitions as limited as possible. #gbstudio #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #gameboy23 Jun 2026 03:51 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mowiprcxvk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3motq43am4c2yJust wanted to showcase some work that's been done on the new tiles. Thanks @kc.wildnaturegames.net! The follower system is now working flawlessly alongside the screen scrolling mechanic. Next up is finishing the battle system. #gbstudio #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gameboy #pixelart22 Jun 2026 01:25 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3motq43am4c2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mnfg2qdslk2oThanks @kc.wildnaturegames.net for this sweet concept art for Eggbound's protagonist.

I'm hoping to dive a bit deeper into the battle system and the scrolling map mechanics in the next video! #gbstudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gameboy #pixelart #retrogames #retrogaming03 Jun 2026 00:45 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnduzvrzls2thttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mn73wy22nc2xAdded a bit of pressure to the song input capture mechanic (it's a placeholder for now). #gamedev #indiedev #gameboy #gbstudio #indiegame #nintendo #pixelart #retrogaming #retrogames01 Jun 2026 03:06 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mn73wy22nc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mn6ub4szgs2wThe idea is that in Eggbound, monster tamers are equipped with a whistle. This allows them to get the attention of their monsters in battle and give them commands. But they can also play a song to convince monsters to join them! #gbstudio #gameboy #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming01 Jun 2026 00:48 +0000at://did:plc:ufcuif6zjimbfufongma4ref/app.bsky.feed.post/3mn6ub4szgs2whttps://bsky.app/profile/urist-mcdev.bsky.social/post/3mmp4y6nktk2xThe follower system has been implemented! Which is huge! Most of the smaller systems have now been completed and I can move forward onto the battle system.
