Moonshell Island's protagonist Sam (a young purple haired girl) talking to Douglas (a large beaver guy) in a verdant lakeside area near his carpentry shack.
Douglas: Sounds like you've got something radical in mind... Lay it on me, bud!
Sam: I'm rebuilding this game from scratch!

#PortfolioDay - biiig maps edition Despite everything, it's still me, Alessandro, an italian pixel artist who left the Fine Arts and Movie Art Department to go crazy about little squares. I like big top-down maps and limited palettes, but I kind of do a little bit of everything-pixels nowadays!

An aerial view of Ecruteak Town at night, from Pokemon Gold and Silver, reimagined. The northern sky is full of stars and a waning crescent moon In the far north, the lights of a mysterious city bedazzle the valley. Lugia can be seen flying to the West.

The city centre is lively and brightly decorated and illuminated by lanterns and strings of lights.
A huge torii gate marks the access of the city to the south, while to the west, connecting to Route 38, is a small gatehouse. To the East the Clock Tower stands tall, with bright lights dotting the forest below and leading to Route 42.
To the North-west, the iconic Burned Tower is encased in the dark bamboo glade, where many lights and will-o-the-wisps create a circle of warm, eerire light around the three legendary beasts guarding the monument. Zubat, Golbat and Crobat can be seen flying around. To the east, atop the central shrine zen garden backyard, a shiny Ninetales observes silently the city. Trainer Kris is exploring the verdant Bell Path, just beyond the wooden arched bridge. Below the bridge, a river flows into a waterfall, leading to the great pond at the temple's base. Here many poliwags are playing in the water, while Politoed sings on the top of a rock. At the end of Bell Path stands the Bell Tower, with its many stories; the trusted monk still guarding its access.
An eerie light envelopes the South-western shrine, located by an old graveyard immersed in wisteria flowers. This also serves as the city gym, where Morty, the gym leader, can be found by the entrance with his ace, Gengar. The Theatre is opened tonight: a bright warmth light welcomes the visitors by the street: a kimono girl dance is to be expected. A brightly illuminated pokemon center can be found just below, with a traditional wooden sign and a huge pokeball on the roof. The pokemon market, to the east of the Theatre, has a counter opened to the street, where the old lady sells medicines and souvenirs.

A topdown pixel art remake of Ruin Valley, from Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. Many ancient structures can be seen emerging from the steep cliffsides and lush tropical vegetation: temples, tall palaces and mysterious pathways and towers. A moltitude of pokemon and trainers can be seen around. To the east, the ocean with tall waves and a jagged coastline. Water and fossil pokemon live there. At the center of the valley, the legendary pokemon trainer Red is entering the Dotted Hole ruins. Peculiar rock formation resembling regi pokemon are scattered throughout the environment.

A top-down view of a cathedral-like structure, with many columns. At the very center, a giant baldachin, firmly standing on twisted columns. The altarpiece is mounted in a rich baroque frame, surmounted by stained glass rose window. A tall, bat-headed vampire is guarding the altar, with bats flying around. A richly adorned pipe organ can be seen to the eastern gallery. Along the transept in front of the absis, two enclosed naves host a Pietà statue and a reliquiary.
Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral. A few zombies and skeletons are marching towards the entrance, where a group of adventurers is preparing for battle, being surrounded.

To the side of the absis altar, downward staircases lead to the crypt. A huge skeletal dragon guards a closed gate. Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral.

Below the Cahedral, an underground Ossuary crypt, with walls made out of bones and skulls. An eerie light permeates the various locales, featuring grates, numerous walls of wax, monumental coffins and pillars. A Lich warlock is channeling dark magic by a sarcophagus.

The Tower above houses a giant bell. A faraway city can be seen from the terrace, as a Griffin guards the bell beam.

A secret room with four chandeliers features many tombs. There, a lady-like demon with bat wings floats above a marble coffin.

A top down pixel art view showing the current progress in creating a seaside town area. The location features a few houses, some with an accessible roof, a Laboratory with a greenhouse structure attached and a tree house. To the north-east there are rocky cliffs and a cave that leads up into the promontory. In the southeast, just below the rocks, a sandy beach leading to a bay area. A few npcs are starting to populate the location, exploring the surroundings and having a chat.

To the south-west, an open-air train station, with two railway platforms and two modern looking canopys. To the east along the railroad, many light poles can be seen. To the south-east a single house with a green car is located in the middle of a plateau overseeing the Bay area.

A few antenna towers can be seen around the place, as well as electric poles dotting the hill area to the south.

I was reminiscing about some old artwork I did, and I remembered these pieces I made trying to emulate the 'room' of my three characters, Roberto, Tiago, and Aria, in Animal Crossing, according to each of their personalities and backstories. 🦈✨ #Sharks #Sharkfolk #AnimalCrossing

An idea I had was to make my sharks' room with Animal Crossing that reflects their personality.

This would be Roberto's room!

In a nutshell, Roberto likes to cook, is talented with acoustic instruments and is fascinated with esotericism!

An idea I had was to make my sharks' room with Animal Crossing that reflects their personality.

This would be Tiago's room!

In a nutshell, Tiago likes geeky stuff, is talented with synthesizers and has a sporty lifestyle!

An idea I had was to make my sharks' room with Animal Crossing that reflects their personality.

This would be Aria's room!

In a nutshell, Aria loves history and archaeology books, is talented at singing, and has a nature photography enthusiast!

After reading the recent Polygon article on JRPGs, I’ve spent the past two days writing a response on warped perceptions of the genre, why the future is in the free game scene, and how these discussions have hardly evolved in the nearly twenty years they’ve been staged: ogrerun.com/2026/03/17/y...

ogrerun.com

Yes, JRPGs Are Vibrant, Experimental, Forward-Thinking, and Ever Evolving – A Response to Polygon

If we are to fret about the future of the genre then we must understand its history beyond the confines of localized titles.

A dark brown cat sitting in an inset of a stone wall. It is early evening, and the cat is looking down at a stone bust broken on the ground (it looks like it would have fit in the inset). There is an olive branch in the top-right of the canvas.

Agree, it's why I always recommend reading @brkeogh.bsky.social's book The Videogame Industry does not exist. Games are a media, an art field. While it's understandable to want to help people pay bills, we undermine them by focusing so much on their monetization - especially when it's unrealistic.

+ My major project for this 2026 first quarter has been canceled, therefore I am now open for work - preferably under a part-time workframe, preferably gamedev. + Tilesets (+anim) & sprites very welcome! + New itch tiles are finally coming, too, but I'm looking for a structured gamedev project.

Pixel Art picture featuring the pokemon Blacephalon, standing on a fence atop an old-looking japanese-like coastal town at night. The crescent moon shines bright, its relection shimmering in the bay. A fantastic Luna Park is seen in the distance, right above the water, with its many towers, a ferry wheel also reflected in the calm, dark waters. The starry sky is illuminated by fireworks.

A character sheet with many different monsters in pixel art.
There's a dogu-like magical construct, with its detachable head firing lasers, a giant Squid-like Kraken, a fire skeletal demon. The next row shows a plant-like Alraune entity with a huge rose bud on its head, a Lich with its magic staff wearing an old robe, a skeletal dragon, a chained ghost with two vertical bright eyes and a vampire with a bat's head.
The third row has a lagoon monster, a Slime queen with its lower part being a gown, a griffin, a giant spider and a floating possessed doll monster with shiny eyes and crazy snake-like hair.
The last row has an antlion with huge pincers, a man-eating giant flower, a mud-like construct with shiny stones, a classical wyvern-like dragon and a decaying zombie giant.

A top down, aerial view of a city and its outskirts by a swampy river. The streets are filled with people, and the architecture has a distinctive early twentieth century aesthetic, with rich bent iron structures.
