Some recent pixel art tilesets that I've been creating. What do you think, make a game or make an asset pack? extramustard.itch.io #PixelArt #Tileset #8Bit #8BitPixelArt #Art #ActionAdventure #Platformer #IndieGame #IndieDev #IndeGameDev #Aseprite

Screenshot of Aseprite and some 8-bit tileset pixel art. One set is very blue and has a corresponding "sand" tileset. One set is orange and has a dark red stone corresponding tileset. This is for an action adventure platformer game.

Just in, Got a new Android tablet from Alibaba for gamedev testing. Great news, #TellyTheTV does indeed work as intended! Get it on #KindleFire tablets. Bad news, the tablet I ordered is Android 11, the speed is abysmal. But for my first "temu" tech experience it turned out pretty good

Work in progress of a UI design for a fictional game called "Vampire Blood Bar." The UI is monochromatic with shades of red & black. There are two cute little chibi vampires in a window, there are multiple buttons to press that indicate Blood Type like A-positive, etc. There are blood bags in a queue at the bottom of the screen and players must match the blood bags with the buttons. There is a level meter that tracks your progression in the game, as well as a heart meter. You can only lose 3 customers and the game is over.

Results of the #MiniJam180 Game Jam are in. Much lower placement overall than I anticipated with over 60% of all entries ranked higher than me. But I did come in 6th place overall for presentation. I’ll try to turn this into a way to learn from my experience & focus more on gameplay. #GameDev

Results from the Mini Jam 180, Game Jam on itch.io. My game “Refresh-o-matic” came in 51st place overall and 6th place in presentation.

💛Today, I've been working on a game for #MiniJam180 on @itch.io 💛The optional theme is "refresh" 💛The required restriction is "falling down" 💛Here's my WIP #PixelArt 💛Also have 4 animations for my purple guy WHAT DO YOU THINK? Any Changes? itch.io/jams #GameDev #IndieGameDev #SoloDev #GameJam

Pixel Art UI for a game that has cards with fruit and juice displayed. There is a cute purple monster in the top right of the screen. There's a lever like a slot machine, and a blue screen that displays stats. The cards are displaying a banana, grapes, and orange juice.

Same image of the UI/UX again for a game for Mini Jam 180, this time the cards are displaying cherries, honey, and blueberries. There's a little coin-slot, and the background has clouds and a beautiful landscape.

Submission Completed! #TellyTheTV will hopefully be coming to #AmazonFire TV & Tablets, I added touchscreen controls. I have no idea how the game will interact with fire TV, but I assume if you play games on Fire TV you must have a controller? #GameDev #IndieGameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Platformer

This is an image of the amazon app store submission page, where Telly the TV has been submitted and is waiting for approval.

Promotional image for Telly the TV, it has a cute little pixel art character that is a living CRT TV, he's trying to get a Key and run away from a mean looking Eye Ball monster. The ad says "Ad-free retro gaming experience. No Internet connection needed."

Before/After - But this is only half the story, Ko-Fi Supporters will get an exclusive sneak peek at one of my newest pixel art advisors for #GlowRogue coming soon Early Access on Itch 💛 ko-fi.com/i/IG2G517K71U 💛 #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGaming #IndieDev #IndieGames #SHMUPS #Roguelike

First Iteration of my robot advisor for glow rogue, a game I am creating that's a twin-stick SHMUP with a roguelike card twist. This advisor ended up being a little spooky looking, so I adjusted the eyes in the next iteration.

First Iteration of my SECOND robot advisor for glow rogue, a game I am creating that's a twin-stick SHMUP with a roguelike card twist. This second robot advisor, with much more of that signature candy apple red color, ended up being a little evil looking so I tried to amend the eyes again on this robot to make it seem friendly.

Second Iteration of my FIRST robot advisor for glow rogue, a game I am creating that's a twin-stick SHMUP with a roguelike card twist. Now i have eyes that look much less menacing. Although I was still doubting the vision I was having with the robots. Perhaps they can still be part of the game somehow.
