Follow-up on the console project from my previous post : Mock Design of the UI File Explorer

(More technical info in the Article)


It's been some time, but i actually managed to get quite a bit of the CPU to work! (Well...Guess i can't really call it a CPU, it's more of an interpreter, really) So today i've mostly decided to think about how the menu is going to look like and i came up with this!

So far, it looks a tiny bit bland, one huge issue is that i don't have a MicroSD Card reader for the chip, meaning i'm gonna have to make this work via a local server for the purpose of streaming files directly into it (At least until i actually do get a MicroSD Card Reader...)

In the meantime, i managed to get a pretty nice opcode list going, some of which draws to the screen, other being some general Assembly instructions (E.g. INC, DEC, JMP, etc)

While i'm working on this thing, i've had some thoughts about how i would realistically be able to distribute this thing, and i've gotten the idea to publish it on Github at some point!

For anyone eventually looking to play around with this thing (Once it comes out), just know that the current setup i'm making this in requires an ESP-WROOM-32 with a few buttons, a joystick, and an ST7789 Screen (240x240)

Small art dump

Starting up 2026 with a potential story-based game being in the works!

At the moment, it doesn't look too exciting, mostly because i hadn't fully decided how the story will go, however i'll still try to put as much as i possibly can think of!

goober 2

Imma be honest i am starting to put more effort into these than i'm willing to admit

Thank you everyone so much for 400 Followers!

I am so grateful for everyone on checking out my silly little projects, as well as all of my artworks thus far!

Decided to draw Pokémon for a bit out of boredom and as a bit of an art practice for myself

Honestly doesn't look a half bad for my first attempt at drawing Flareon here, lmk what you think!

I have made a little side project out of boredom, mostly inspired by games like "sand:box"

I feel like my pixel artstyle had most definitely improved compared to back when i was just messing around, it isn't stunning, but it's definitely better than how it looked before
