Little #MonaLisa #pixelart practice :) I did use the real mona lisa as a background layer, which made this much easier^^"

Looks like #indieDev visibility went from insanely tough to impossible. Steam just slashed pop upcoming and made it "big games that don't need more visibility". Indies went from 10-20 global front-page slots a day they knew how to get into to 2 personal slots that are a blackbox. Well, yikes. 🥲

Today's #pixel_dailies theme #origami was actually a nice fit for my library management game, so I did a quick first art pass on a table design for an origami club :D @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixelart #gamedev #cozygame

I am fixing a bunch of UI issues in preparation for the playtest, and in this case it meant reworking the entire system because it was just too complex and not fun to use. After three iterations, I'm glad I'm finally happy with it. #devlog #indiedev #gamedev #cozygame #godot

Artemis II photo study - kind of. I did not pick an easy image and had to improvise on some stuff to make it more readable for #PixelArt Reasonably happy with the result though. Was a nice weekend palette cleanser from game dev in any case 😊
