Yes. 100% No ads and posting my art here doesn't automatically give anyone consent to train AI on it. I never use Twitter anymore. Its nice to see you again! 😄

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.

If you're new here, The Book of Rynn is a new RPG in development for the NES console, inspired by classic 8-bit JRPGs like Dragon Warrior/Quest 1 to 4! Join our growing community and keep an eye out for a playable demo soon! #jrpg #nes #retrogames #indiegames #8bit #pixelart #nesdev #homebrew

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!

I thought to myself "What sort of program is used to make a video game? What would it even be called?" Then, failing to come up with an answer that sounded plausible, I searched mamma.com (my preferred search engine back then) for "game maker" hoping to find an answer. Instead I found Game Maker 5.3

I'm sure its not the advice you're looking for but: After 20+ years of Windows/Linux laptops I've recently switched to an M1 Pro MacBook Pro for my dev machine. I've never wanted to be any part of Apple's ecosystem, but the experience with this machine is much better than any laptop I've ever used

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

There really is no "correct" way to do art, but if I were to pick a method I agree with most it's certainly this one

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!

Every screenshot and video are so beautiful. I don't remember if you've said before; What engine are you using?

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 ❤️

And if you need rotation you can still use it. Just keep the pixel sizes the same. Old games used rotation too

A bit of context would be nice. Not everyone is going to know who "you-know-who" is supposed to be, nor why you dislike them
