think i've sorta solved this dilemna from 11 years ago; the floor here is made from a total of 4 tiles. tons of overlap and offsets carry it a long way into seeming like there's no traditional tileset at all

A day under the clouds. 90x120px #pixelart

Pixelart piece of mountainous landscape. It's spring, or early summer, afternoon, there's a thick layer of clouds above the horizon. In the front - just a field, or meadow, with high grass. Above the fields hills with the forests, with rocky tops like a crown on the head.

Looking through another art book I added to my collection. Now more than ever it feels important to me to own a physical copy of someone’s human-made art. Art that exists only online feels so ephemeral and fragile, easily lost. Support real human artists, buy their art.

I will never use any AI/LLMs for anything, in #gamedev or beyond. Not for search, not for coding, not for writing, not for generating assets. They are accelerating the #enshittification of everything & causing untold harm to real creative people in so many ways, as well as to the environment.

Pixelart of the Enterprise starship boldly going into a dense pale blue nebula, complemented by the red engine fumes coming out of the Enterprise, the dark background behind is filled with tiny bright stars.

Trying out the NES palette with some doodles. #pixelart #gamedev

Top left is a woman with a red cloak covering her hair. She has a blue headband that could be a crown hidden underneath the cloak, and matching blue eyes. Top right is a woman in blue spandex. I drew a white 4 on her chest, so it could be Sue Storm from the Fantastic 4. Bottom left is an androgynous character with purple hair and a green top looking determined. Inspired mostly by anime characters. At the bottom right is a female character with light blue skin that is very glossy.

I've been bedridden for 2 weeks so I've made myself useless by binging on Star Trek Voyager and it's been a great watch! I think I like it far better than DS9. I like how everything works out in the end of an episode, no matter how bad shit looks in the beginning.

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

Finished up this delightful book nook build that spouse got me for Xmas. It was soothing blend of Lego building and puzzle making that I found extremely satisfying, promoting extreme focus and deep work that magically settled anxiety. Now I understand the "old people working on puzzles" stereotype.

It’s my favorite section of the library 😆 😆

A comic panel featuring two characters discussing their need to reach the Joker, with one character gesturing towards a bookshelf filled with colorful books. The speech bubble mentions studying "the great boners of all time" and guessing the Joker's next move.

Worked all the way through Gabriel Aguiar’s VFX for Godot course, only to figure out I didn’t really like that style of VFX for my game. So, just to rule out the idea, I grabbed a 2D animation pack from Duc Vu FX, and did a quick test. Yea, it looks friggin awesome. #godot #vfx #animation #gamedev
