I realized last night that I've never posted this piece here before, so I redid it in a new palette I'm working on. #pixelart #sony #playstation

Just realized I never shared this here TMNT art in the style of old Bengus art (circa MvC1.) Made the Turtles, and was initially just going to add April O'Neil, ended up adding Splinter, Bebop and Rocksteady as well. I made these during a number of livestreams. Could be fun to add more.

Square layout of the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, along with April O'Neal, Bebop, Rocksteady and Master splinter in the style of old Marvel Vs Capcom 1 portraits. The colors are very intense.

Moved the Astrals tablet collection to the INFO screen. You may also notice new window borders styled like pages of a book, plus a new custom font. We felt it was time for Rynn's UI to develop an identity of its own while preserving the classic NES RPG feel. We hope you like it!

The struggle to keep from sharing spoilers from our first story is real but I can share bits of our amazing soundtrack. Picture your 10 yo self having just opened that new epic RPG, sliding the cart in your NES and listening to that title music for the first time. #jrpg #nes #indiegames #chiptune

I took a break from working on the game, but I'm back at it and its so much fun already. I threw in a MP3 playing feature so I no longer have to play-test in silence (Headphones for the full experience) #indiedev #gamedev

It seems as though the demo isn't reaching a lot of people. Maybe our game is lacking in appeal...? If you haven't yet, please check out the Dawnthief Demo and leave some feedback in the steam discussions. It's hard to know what we're missing otherwise. Thanks in advance.

Our battle system is very close to complete. We *need* testers able to try any and all commands, spells, items and break the game so we can find and fix every single issue. If you love RPGs from the 8-bit era, we need your help! #jrpg #nes #gamedev #indiegames #retrogames #the-book-of-rynn

Hi #PortfolioDay ! I’m a pixel artist who loves making things that are cute, odd, and packed with nostalgic video game energy. I focus on strong, readable styles, and getting the most impact out of every pixel. I am currently looking for pixel art + animation work for video games. DMs open!

When the day is over and you're in bed about to fall asleep, what sort of person do you become? I get very much into this mood like "I wish I could tell all the amazing people in the world how much I love that they exist, but that would be weird." So, hey... I love that you exist ❤️

Overworld menus are almost done. ITEM use, transfer and discard are done. What's left: STATUS formation, EQUIP and SEARCH. Then we're finally moving on to the BATTLE LOOP! ⚔️🐉

Flashing screen warning (near the end)! I've been working on spell casting in the overworld. Trying to keep it accurate but will allow disabling screen flashes in-game. And yes, we have a spell called "Poof".
