thank you! :D don't get too excited though, i'm still struggling to come up with ideas (though i've decided on a card, lol)

another #pixel_dailies and #monthlypixels combo post! could still use a some clean-up, but that has to wait 'til next week :) #pixelart #tarot #tower #space #black_hole @pixeldailies.bsky.social

speaking of water usage, almond milk uses *so much* more water than oat or soy milk. so for people who don't want cow milk because of environmental concerns, choose oat instead of almond if you can :)

i'm team surprise. or if voting, then maybe for potential themes in general, not for a specific month. otherwise my brain will try to come up with ideas beforehand, which kinda "ruins" the "fresh month, fresh theme" feeling for me

OH, I just realized that I'm using YOUR fonts, haha. It's a really great pack, thank you for that! ❤️

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Thank you! And yes, it will stay pixel art :)

finally remembered to post on #screenshotsaturday! i am building a semi-cozy farming rpg with turn-based combat and roguelite elements :) still very early in development, but i am finally at a point to add content and start polishing #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #godot

oops, lol. should've read the comments before starting the second card, haha

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

thanks, me too :D love me some space nebula, haha

#justice #tarot card! i needed to start working on the #monthlypixels cards anyway, so perfect #pixel_dailies prompt yesterday :) i'm not yet satisfied with the gold effect, but overall pretty happy with how it turned out! #pixelart @pixeldailies.bsky.social #nebula #space

nope, just needs to stay hydrated! and exposure to direct sunlight should be minimized in summer

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

this week i'll be working some more character portraits! i've always sucked at flat coloring, because i always feel the need to add another color to make the transition smoother, lol. i like where this is going though, so i embrace it :D #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #wip #character #npc #indiedev

a #torch for #pixel_dailies! i normally work in a higher resolution, so this was a fun little challenge :) @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixelart (bluesky keeps messing with the quality, it's driving me bonkers!)

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

it takes forever, but i love how the forest is turning out! #gamedev #solodev #pixelart #forest #wip #landscape

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

honestly, i never warmed up to VS Code. I mostly code gdscript these days so i do most coding in Godot itself, but switch to Kate when i need that split-view, haha. plus, it highlights uncommitted files and i can jump to definition. that's basically all i need from an IDE

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

I started using Kate a while ago: kate-editor.org it took a little time to get used to, but now i like it a lot :)

i'm not really able to code in this heatwave, so i started working on this monster animation instead :) still very rough and WIP of course. currently at 29 frames :) #gamedev #solodev #animation #pixelart #indiedev

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

My personal highlights from the Godot 4.7 release: custom_maximum_size + offset_transform for Controls and tween_await()! Especially offset_transform is going to save me from so many headaches. Fancy UI development is going to be such a breeze from now on, i love it :D #gamedev #godot #indiedev

0122

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

spend some more time on the background and sprites :) still a lot to do, but i love where it's going :) #gamedev #solodev #pixelart #indiegamedev #godot

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Behold, the first half of the "make it exist first"-meme! :D Started working on a combat system, placeholder UI stands, now onto adding functionality! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #solodev #turn-based #godot

0131

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

sketched up some emotions / reactions :) the plan is to have each of them with minor animations, but that's still far in the future. now to integrate them into dialogues, and then it's time to start on the quest system :) #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #NPC

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

same character, three completely different looks, haha. Sometimes it's nice to look back to where you started and see the progress! She still needs some clean-up, but i finally found a portrait style! :D #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #solodev #godot

0231

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

thank you! :) i really like them too, they're finally looking somewhat like my traditional/ higher-res sketches & designs. Figuring out a render style for pixel art that i like has been a journey, haha

010

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

progress of the new character portraits, i'm kinda digging the sketchy vibe. I do want to keep it kinda semi-realistic comic style, but i tend to go overboard with shading, so we'll see how that goes :) #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

ugh, this happened to me yesterday! took me 'til the third reply from "them" to realize what was up. i hate this fucking timeline.

010

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

gotta take a look into BlendSpace then, thanks for the input! :)

100

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

not sure if i understand correctly, but i guess the second? (just started with animationTree, lol). i have a look_direction var (among others) in my player script which i use in the transition's expression. this is how it's currently looking, only 4 directions yet though :D no blend-nodes yet

100

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

I'm still figuring out the best workflow, tbh. currently i'm first sketching the transition animation, eg from left to right walk, then throw it in godot and check to see if the timing feels right or if i need to add / remove frames. lots of traveling through 2-3 frame anims, too

100

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

progress! :) moved player animation handling into an AnimationTree, now all i gotta do is draw all those transition animations #gamedev #pixelart #godot #indiedev #solodev

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

aaand the tilemap is back, haha. i use it for tilled soil and to identify what kind of ground we're walking on, so that i can add different walk / step sounds later :) #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

had this hagstone idea for a time / weather display :D #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #wip

0194

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

I've been busy bringing life into the village :) no animations yet, but i wanted to experiment with the look of sprites vs portraits. i'm also super proud of the wall texture! #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #wip #godot

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Started working on a sprite version :) Hopefully it displays right, been having issues with bluesky and gifs lately #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

new profile picture! it's a critter for my game: there'll be different types you can tame (after defeating their boss) and they'll either help out at the farm or in battle, or produce resources :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Coming from the world of CSS, not having a max size was such a hard adjustment for me when styling my UI in Godot. I kinda learned to work around it but I'm still glad it's coming in 4.7! #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Dandelion poster for one of my shop scenes, finally finished! At some point I'll add a frame to it, but i've been working on this for the past few days and i need to work on something else now, haha. Original size is 171 x 231 px #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #dandelion #illustration

2274

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Shop scenes will have this "zoomed in" look / perspective, and i intend to use every available pixel! :D Currently working on the poster in the back, will post it soon once it's finished. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

For those dealing with the new image compression blurring their pixel art, this thread is a must-read!
