Nova Storm @NovaSquirrel@computerfairi.es

I switched my Game Boy Color game over to 8x16 sprites instead of 8x8, so I can now go a little crazier with the number of on-screen entities I can have at once. #gbdev #gamedev

I suppose since I've introduced myself, I should introduce my #fursona too. Her name is Nova Storm, and the core of her design is that she's supposed to be a 90s animal mascot platformer character. Like a cartoon character does with cartoon logic, she carries video game logic and abilities wherever she goes, able to jump very high, land from any height safely, have an inventory and so on.

Here's a proper scan of my new badge, again by Alien Mary Mae.

I got home safe from the convention but I'm basically about ready to nap. It's been exhausting having so much fun.

Closing ceremony's over and I had a really great weekend. I wanna keep doing this every year!

My new badge is every bit as adorable and pretty as I hoped. I'll scan it later and get a better picture. It's drawn by Alien Mary Mae.

I'd say so far I managed to do a lot better than I did last year panel-wise. I found out that the comedy panels were the ones I *really* enjoyed, so I made sure to give them a focus.

I commissioned a new badge to be my souvenir for the convention as well as to serve a functional purpose. I'll post a pic here once I get it!

I'm really lucky that a handful of other people from a sober/teetotal group happened to go to the same con as me. They made the first night of the con great and we had the kind of fun I actually enjoy.

I checked out a TF Meet & Greet at the con and unsurprisingly it had a big focus on werewolf stuff, but wasn't awkward or weird to be there.

I head out to IndyFurCon today! I've been looking forward to this all year and I'm going to try to make the most of it.

My main "modern" project is named Tilemap Town, and it's a collaborative map creation tool where you can build a world with your friends and socialize in it.

It's mostly inspired by the old BYOND "building game" genre, specifically Icon Ultima, but it also tries to be like a MUCK and roleplaying is a focus too.

Hello, I'm NovaSquirrel and I'm a game developer and furry. I really like platformer and puzzle games, and https://novasquirrel.itch.io/nova-the-squirrel is my take on a game that blends the two together, inspired by my childhood favorites. It's for the #NES, and I hope to release cartridges of it some day.
