I've been getting some weird spikes in views on itch lately. Downloads and browser plays don't have the same spikes, so I'm assuming it's bots or something. Anyone else having similar weird statistics on itch? #IndieGame #IndieDev #itch

Screenshot of statistics from itho.io. Views sometimes have some high spikes, but not browser plays and downloads.

Whipped together a short little trailer for the Pixel Room Creator 1.1 update. Nothing fancy, but it works for now… #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #ドット絵 #Isometric

The second bedroom in the Pixel Room Creator 1.1 update. Probably belongs to a teenager interested in manga and sports … the symbols on the kanji scroll are completely made up - I hope they don't mean anything disturbing in any language… 😬 #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #ドット絵 #Isometric

Another template room in the Pixel Room Creator 1.1 update. I made assets so you can now build bathrooms ... the chickens are supposed to be rubber ducks, but they somehow ended up looking more like chickens… 🫠 #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #ドット絵 #Isometric

I added a second living room to the Pixel Room Creator 1.1 update. I made some minor animations like flickering candles and blinking eyes, but no fire … I'm not good enough at animation yet, but one day there will be a fire in the fireplace… #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #ドット絵 #Isometric

One of the template rooms in Pixel Room Creator 1.1. It's the living room from the old build, I just gave it a facelift and a new color palette… #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #ドット絵 #Isometric

Thanks for the advice! I decided to have the demo and full game on the same game page - it's less work to handle when updating and keeps ratings and reviews in the same place.

Rain Winther @rainwinther.itch.io · 01/06/2026

Oh, thanks for the kind comment! Random fact - I started doing pixel rooms for a point-and-click game I was working on, but I somehow got sidetracked🫠 … hopefully I'll get some time for it later this year. It will be this style and rooms, but with characters and inventory system and such...

Booom!🎉 Pixel Room Creator 1.1 is now launched on itch. I'm gonna make a new trailer for the game later this week, but for now … I'm just gonna sit down and relax for a bit, because these last couple of weeks have been a bit hectic… 😓 #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #ドット絵 #Isometric

Here is one of the template rooms that will be in Pixel Room Creator 1.1. I'm launching the update next week and sitting here fiddling with the game page on itch. There's gonna be a demo and a full game version. Question is, should the demo have its own game page? #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt

Rain Winther @rainwinther.itch.io · 05/04/2026

I didn't paint any eggs this week. Instead, I brainstormed some new robot parts for Pixel Robot Creator and decorated some of them with patterns. I'll continue working on these and making more assets later this year. #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt

Rewrote the code for the Paint Bucket Tool in the Pixel Room Creator 1.1 update. Instead of clicking on every object you want to paint, just hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor. Every object that is touched by the paint bucket cursor will be painted. #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt

I also like 2, but 3 has a really interesting color palette 👀

Some sort of retro futuristic handheld game console ... #pixelart #ドット絵 #isometric

Sorry, no pixel art object study this weekend. I've been busy coding a game tool. Will hopefully have a working prototype in a month or so...

Another object study of a device from Pokémon. The green one looks like the reference, the rest I just played around with different color palettes… #pixelart #ドット絵 #isometric #fanart #Pokémon

Thanks! 🫡Yeah, same here - even if I had a lot of fun in MS Paint growing up, pixel art as an art form I've just practiced for about two years now.

Rain Winther @rainwinther.itch.io · 08/02/2026

Object study of another oldie. First machine I made pixel art on. I was four or something and scribbled stick figures in MS Paint… 🫠 #pixelart #ドット絵 #isometric

Thanks! The green and blue one I just had fun with different color palettes. The white one probably looks more natural because that's what the reference looks like.🫠

Object study of a brick ... I mean prehistoric cell phone. Hard to believe my father used to carry one of these babies around when he hunted mammoths... #pixelart #ドット絵 #isometric

Played Pokémon Silver on good ol' Game Boy Color when I was a kid. Didn't understand a word English, but still managed to beat all the gym leaders. Although, I didn't find Lugia until I replayed the game as an adult... #pixelart #ドット絵 #isometric #gameboy #Pokémon

Yeah, I know I made door animations last week, but I wanted to try out isometric animations as well. #pixelart #ドット絵 #animation

Rain Winther @rainwinther.itch.io · 03/01/2026

Thanks! I'm using Krita for pixel art at the moment. Not the most optimal program to move pixels in, but I'm used to the interface. Later this year I'm going to try out Aseprite.

The new year is almost here, so I thought I'd do a recap of 2025: - Released Pixel Room Creator - Updated Cartoon Profile Creator, twice - Updated Pixel Robot Creator - Started a Bluesky account - Became better at pixel art - Started doing pixel animations #pixelart #ドット絵 #animation #artsummary2025

Rain Winther @rainwinther.itch.io · 28/12/2025

Haha, yeah, when I'm done with all the other projects I'm working on, I'm gonna sit down and make some sort of sci-fi game. It's on the to-do list, but it will probably take years before I even start on it...🫠

Just exploring different door concepts and animations. #pixelart #ドット絵 #animation

Hmm … this was originally a light source animation test, but then ... I started to doodle ... #pixelart #ドット絵 #animation

Rain Winther @rainwinther.itch.io · 19/12/2025

Yeah, I just dragged out the pixels in the middle of the robot, making it broader. If you pause the GIF video, you can see what the smeared frame looks like.

010

Rain Winther @rainwinther.itch.io · 17/12/2025

Yeah, I know how you feel. I've postponed animating for a while, afraid I'd mess up … but I have too many ideas in my head, so now I'm just gonna do it. Baby steps at first with simple shapes...

Thanks! I wanted to try out another color palette than I usually use, so I'm glad I didn't completely mess it up 🫠

Difficult choice … I fell for the bouncy one first, but as someone commented above, it depends on the click SFX 🤔
