If I remember correctly spyro’s skyboxes were painted this way too. Really neat trick

Isometric isn't usually my thing but I felt inspired.

Isometric pixel art sprites of Agrias Oaks from Final Fantasy Tactics. On the left is a custom sprite more proportionate to the games concept art. On the right is the original sprite from the PS1 game.

Absolutely wonderful work

A video that shows it before and after with dynamic lighting. Also switches to interpolated mode half-way through which is another option

considering a voxel lighting algorithm that lights each voxel a uniform amount based on a calculated normal instead of using the cubic faces of each voxel. Got a proof of concept working but now need better demo assets. Anyone have pixel-art quality voxel assets for me to try?

probably the best voxel artist in the biz

I bet! Is anything waiting for me if I manage it?

Going for a perfect fill. Not sure if it’s possible

The fact you can say this phrase is insane. Original sentence right there

Ah that must be what I’m remembering. Why the switch. I remember you were really far along

Gotcha. Coulda sworn this was in another language originally

Dan Fessler @danfessler.com · 04/04/2026

been working on a 2D Unity-like game engine from scratch: C++ with SDL3 renderer, Luau scripting, scene hierarchy and behavior system, and interactive editor in an integrated webview. Still some rough edges but the pieces are all there!

Super exciting! Wait I thought this was rust before?

Hey everyone! I am open for work. Looking for contract, part-time, full-time, anything! I have been making games for close to 15 years now and am happy doing 2D art in most styles, pixel art, UI, and managing. Here's a link to my portfolio: kyleolson.artstation.com

This is just texture work for the linework effect. Just feels a bit more pure 2d because I project the texture from the cameras perspective

did some texture and shader work

Hell yeah escape velocity! That’s so my jam

Which is better? Ortho vs perspective

That’s exactly what’s happening. Sometimes the geometry is as simple as a cube, like the backside view of this prop, but I do rough out a bit more geometry usually where it’s needed. Doesn’t take long to do and it adds a lot to the effect
