P.S. Don't mind the visual bugs on hands, they will be squashed!

Three new hands are in for the update coming out SOON™️. Here's a look at "Flash Card", which changes every hand.

I wanted to start introducing more flexible and interactive scoring hands, and this is just the start!

Self publish or find a publisher?

This is the indie version of “to be, or not to be”

That is the question

Sneak peek of a new scoring hand. Can you guess what it is? 🤔

Honestly Resprite is one of my most used apps for doing art on the go. It feels like a mobile version of Aseprite.

It has two finger tap to undo and three finger tap to redo so it is king because of that.

I love #gamedesign and the quirks that come with it! Especially in older titles that had less resources to work with. Crazy how creative game devs of old were!

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 10d

Due to the unique way Super Mario Bros. stores its maps, its level designers were at the mercy of the decorative hills and bushes when placing bottomless pits. While the pits can be placed freely, the decorations are non-negotiable and dictate the level design.

Thank you! I’m like 90% sure that I’ve settled on a finished art style.

Thanks! I thought Yahtzee has a hand called Yahtzee so Diecast should have a hand called Cast ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
