Longer trailer for my game. It's kind of like if Darkest Dungeon, F&H and Nuzlockes had a baby #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame #rpgmaker store.steampowered.com/app/3631050/...

Drew this today trying to figure out what to do. Probably should have used 3d especially for the cars but boomer grids for life. #art #animation #drawing

Whales @afteralive.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

Finally figured out how to go forward. Game is gonna need an extremely substantial rework but I think I know how to solve it. Gonna go dark on dev stuff for a bit while I figure out what I'm doing.

Been back for just over a week and I can't seem to be making any progress. I guess I got so caught up on making something visually appealing to myself I didn't make a good game. New project time? #pixelart #gamedev #RPGmaker #darkfantasy

@eyepatchwolf.bsky.social Your video on fake video games inspired me to make a fake game of my own a year ago. It ended up becoming a real game but I'm not sure I'll ever get it done. Looking forward to your book and maybe finally finishing something one day.

Hi everyone. Demo day will be delayed by a while due to some military training. I don't think I'll have time to bug fix while in the field so I'd rather not release something that I can't fix the ASAP. I really appreciate you guys.

Intro illustrations. Done at a 640 x 360 screensize each. Technically not #pixelart because it uses an airbrush layer on top for vignetting but I think it looks nice #gamedev #RPGMaker

Crazy what a year of progress can do all because I watched an @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social video on fake video games. #pixelart #gamedev

A comparison between a fake video game pixel art mock up and a real video game made approx. 1 year later.

How I make backgrounds for my game. Usually it starts out with an even looser sketch and a million perspective lines before it gets shrunken down but this one didn't have too many props. Even with 3D nowadays I like to use good old vanishing points #pixelart #gamedev

In Project Purgatory, each run offers dynamic choices for who to bring along as party members. For the first act - you must pick two -the rest will go mad and transform in attempt to slay you. Who do you choose? Remember, appearances are not all they may seem to be. #Gamedev #pixelart #rpgmaker

Hi everyone. Due to how low contrast a lot of the #pixelart is in my #gamedev project, I'm looking for feedback on readability and even just the art itself. Some very nice folks gave me some great feedback already but I want to keep digging deeper. All feedback from other #indiedev folks welcome!

Its been a rough start to the new year and I have more and more doubts in my ability to finish a game as a #gamedev each day. Anyway for now here's some #pixelart sprites.

Built in #RPGMaker - Project Purgatory is an isometric 2D monster collector. Inspired by the nuzlocke ruleset and the brutally difficult FnH- each game over comes new encounters and party members who reveal more about the world around them. #gamedev #pixelart #art #darkfantasy #screenshotsaturday
