Friendly Reminder: 3DS, Vita and Switch all use a type of flash memory that needs an electrical charge every decade or so to keep the game data from corrupting. TLDR: Boot up all your games and make a save on them to help preserve them into the future!

#artvsartist for 2025: 💜 Started with a big #pixelart commission project followed by 6 months of #gamedev as I learned #gamemaker programming and rebuilt 60% of demo systems for #Moonshell_Island. A challenging but satisfying year of growth for me. 💪🦀

Folks who don’t make things don’t realize that art is ALL process The discovery and direction provided at the earliest concept stages is invaluable Even programmer napkin drawings shape the vision If you launder these crucial early steps through plagiarism machines, what are you even polishing?

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it. patreon.com/cheekynauts

someone on tumblr asked about what color palette I use. I pretty much always use my own palettes. this is the one I used for most of the old pixel art I've been reposting here #pixelart

I've been seeing a lot of pixel artists struggle with Bluesky's image compression, so I'd thought I'd share how to get clear, crisp pixels on the site! Share to help a fellow pixel-artist! #pixelart #tutorial

When uploading to Bluesky, remember to resize your works to 800%!

Why? Images are converted to .jpeg when uploaded. .jpeg compresses the image into 8x8 pixel blocks.

If a block has more than one colour, that dreaded compression occurs!
