Creating the menu screens for #StarGrid
Reusing the same grid layout as the main game. Maximum reuse of resources! #palmos #retrodev #indiedev #indiegame #stargrid #TurnBasedStrategy

StarGrid's hi-res mode now also working! Running here in a 320x480 resolution (Tungsten T3, T5, TX). Colors look a bit over saturated in the video, but looks fine on device!

Can't forget about all those grayscale devices either. A range of 16 grays is nice, but you have to ensure there's always a big enough contrast between them.

Not all Palm PDAs were created equal. I recently acquired some Treo 90 devices, and the screen tearing significantly diminishes the gaming experience (which likely wasn't their intended use anyway). In contrast, the M505 has no screen tearing issues at all. #palm #PalmOS #pda #retrodev #stargrid

Every new game needs an icon. At least that can be checked off now. #Stargrid #PalmOS

Box-art made for my game-in-progress StarGrid, launching exclusively on PalmOS somewhere in 2025. Rocking a retro vibe!

After my MiniGolf game of last summer, I'm once again turning to Palm OS to create a new game called "StarGrid" 🌌.
It's a turn based, capture the flag kind of strategy game.
