Oblique Strategies GB

Oblique Strategies is a deck of cards designed to help artists break up an art block. Each of the 100+ cards contain a possible action to take or a new way of thinking about a creative problem. They were created by artists Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt in the 70s and have been updated with various new editions over the years.

This is a port of that deck of cards for Game Boy, for some reason.

It was made by me, Nicky Flowers, as a way to learn how GB Studio works. Turns out it works pretty well! I boot up the ROM on my DMG when I get stuck working on music or coding or really anything where I'm creating stuff. I hope you might find it useful too!

Also available for download is a version for Analogue Pocket systems!! Wowee!!! 

I was tempted to add a cool chiptune soundtrack but I found it to be distracting when I was working on something with audio. That'll just have to wait for my next homebrew software >:)

I'm not officially associated with Brian Eno or anything (that would be cool lol), but if you want the real thing, you can get it directly from him! I don't think my version has all the cards this 5th edition printing does. https://www.enoshop.co.uk/product/oblique-strategies?filter=Oblique%20Strategies
