Have you explored VGHF's digital archive of E3 Show Directories? You too can discover who exactly exhibited at E3 1996, while admiring the 'none more '90s' cover art: archive.gamehistory.org/folder/53778...

We're approaching the end of all of this nonsense. Pieces like these are the kind of bullshit you saw at the end of the metaverse and crypto bubbles - Roose wrote them then, too. Humouring the most empty, cynical, nihilistic people in tech and pretending it means you're curious is ugly stuff.

Little animation I made for practice a couple years ago. There was never really a goal with this so I can't really say if it's finished or not. Used my own hand for reference. #pixelart

New intro post since I'm at GDC (!!) -- my name is James and I'm a UI designer by day and a pixel artist by night. I have a particular love of 8- and 16-bit art, Zelda, and dark/medieval fantasy. #pixelart #pixelartist #aseprite #gamedev #gameart #indiedev

A mockup of a 16-bit top-down action RPG. The player character is brandishing his sword at a small mushroom-looking critter, and a treasure chest sits on top of a nearby hill, just out of reach. I worked on this project with a couple of other devs (who have long since disappeared into the depths of the internet) circa 2012. Golden Sun and Secret of Mana were the principle inspirations for this one.

A sprite of a samurai warrior in a bright turquoise and purple robe. Inspired by classic fighting games like Street Fighter II and Marvel Vs. Capcom.

A recreation of a dungeon antechamber from the original Legend of Zelda in a higher resolution (16-bit) style.

A mockup of a GameBoy Color-style top-down RPG. One character with bright purple hair has just spotted the player character and is about to rush over to say hello. A steampunk-looking house sits on top of a hill with a large pipe protruding from it.

Scrolling the web is like pacing a hallway built by algorithms. But the web once felt like an attic filled with ornaments, spaces built by people, not predictive engines. Maybe real joy isn’t in the scroll, but the hyperlinks we stopped clicking. #blog #web #nostalgia

Everything should have more dials and knobs. We want to fidget! We want to twiddle! Let us not forget the lessons learned by the Bop-It and fidget spinner phenomena.

Still slightly WIP but wanted to let y’all know that I am back on my bullshit

A 16-but pixel art remake of a dungeon antechamber from the original Legend of Zelda game for the NES. Monstrous statues surround Link and a fairy companion as eerie blue torch lights illuminate the scene.

This captures soo much about how I feel about the modern technological landscape. I used to enjoy logging on and actually engaging with people online, but nowadays it feels like I’m wading through an endless sea of ads and gotchas and things that may or may not be real. It’s become so joyless.

I never posted much on Twitter but the Hyrule Redrawn project was how I found a lot of great artists on there - these were the screens I worked on. Now I’m gonna work on finding y’all again

Every year around the rice harvest, art students in Japan’s Niigata prefecture, repurpose the crop’s leftover straw, or wara, into mammoth characters for the Wara Art Festival. www.thisiscolossal.com/2023/10/wara...

it’s sad reading like 14th century Christian theologians who spent an inordinate amount of time writing “OK there are exactly 3,892 demons and these are their names and these are their powers”… man, you would have loved Dragonball Z
