I built a little open source app to grow a shared collection of 8×8 pixel sprites. Draw, publish, like, remix, all CC0 🟨🟩🟥 baxel.art

A public gallery of pixel sprites, eight by eight. Draw one in the browser, publish it under its own address, and it joins a feed anyone can browse.

🎲 We will be showing the last game I did with Joanna Wong at CAC La Traverse (Alfortville), on 22 of April. It looks at the Sainte-Soline protests and what happens to images once they start circulating beyond the event. Come take a look 👀

video games have been around since my grandparents were little and weirdo freaks now try to act like it’s impossible to make one without using the Polluting Thief Chatbot that didn’t exist before like five years ago and I will never understand that

Loved my december gaming. Age of Steam with the Sweden Recycling map was very exiting, I wish I could play AOS more often. Owner's Choice was also a great surprise. Railway Boom is not as unique as I hoped, but I still enjoyed it.

I did manage to squeeze some plays this month. Loved Colorado Midland, Confucius was an interesting discovery.

The event where my game was playable, along with some food around the « undergroud » idea, is now over. It was very cool to see people try the demo. Now I have a ton of improvements to make in the game 🥹 #undergroundfood #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

I was caught today by the thought with my #eggjam game Oeuf that maybe the egg-shape is getting in the way (specifically: that you spend a lot of your time orienting your egg in the right direction). I tried out with a spherical egg, but to my relief that was less fun! #godotengine

I did a game dev workshop last week in Paris with @kaplayjs.com. It was a great weekend thanks to the genius kids that came by. I was also blessed by sunshine ☀️ and by the invaluable help I got from the civic service team 💪 !

I've updated my docs for @kaplayjs.com [in french], with a new, more flexible template which is easier to read and transform. Thanks to @achtaitaipai.com for his contributions. Feel free to try it out : martiansparlor.com/ateliers/kap...

Very happy with my first workshop session about procedural generation. The participants were very into it and got a real grip on their protocols. Looking forward for the next session this week.

Colin Thil @martiansparlor.itch.io · 23/04/2025

Currently updating my documentation on @kaplayjs.com. Doing my best to offer the most accessible experience, while remaining coherent and open to creative ideas.

Prototype for a procedural generation workshop. I tried different protocols today with interesting results. The bingo chips and spinner are very handy. Drawing colored chips to define colors works well, but is a little more laborious. Rolling dice turns out to be a bit too tedious.

Insightful take on AI generated art. It's vigorating to hear some critical perspective. The article tackles the impact of AI generated content having a place in our culture despite its incapacity of creating something meaningful.

It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

Today I created images for stamps that I'll be using in my procedural generation workshop. Was heavily inspired by all the Bitsy gems out there on @itch.io

@kaplayjs.com is a wonderful library that I use a lot in my workshops. Over the years I put out a documentation page to help me implement game ideas quickly with the participants. The whole thing can be found here : martiansparlor.com/ateliers/kap...

First draft for a workshop about procedural generation. The aim is to get children to imagine drawing protocols using a wide range of random inputs, and then see how it goes by manually executing it on paper with stamps.
