My #pixelplanets entry for @ekvitki.art Leiurus (64x64) and its moon Ceratus (16x16). I didn’t have time yesterday to make a full scene (😢). Leiurus is a swirling maelstrom for an ice giant and its sulfurous moon Ceratus is being heavily mined for useful materials. #pixelart, #ドット絵

Planets made for Ekvitki’s collab event.

Adding a new large scale enemy to my Gameboy Color Homebrew Beat-em-Up! It's interesting making a complete set of animations, somehow fit within sprite limits for such a large enemy. I think it came out well! #GBStudio #Homebrew #retrogame #Gameboy

as promised, here's the #screenshotsaturday peek at my next full #GameBoy game made in #GBStudio! no title as-yet, but it's been a lot of fun to design for (and a real bear to work on!)~ dice combat? tower.. crawling..?? mysterious entities from realms beyond?!? all that will be here and more~ 🎲✨

an in-game image of an ominous tower in the distance. Super Game Boy palette of faded purples and greys. has text that reads:
"Like other fools, I've come here to climb the Tower of Wishes..."

an in-game image of a maze-like top-down interior of the previous tower. it shows the player character as they prepare to make their run of the first floor. Super Game Boy palette of earthy reds and browns. has text that reads:
"Good luck on your first expedition!"

an in-game image of a tabletop dice-based combat scene between a wasp assassin and an simian-like eyeball monster. the dice have been rolled once and symbols are showing lightning bolts, claws, and shields. Super Game Boy palette of drab beige and ice blue.

an in-game image of a tavern counter and back wall. the wall is stocked with nondescript bottles and jars. Super Game Boy palette of muddy greens and yellows. has text that reads:
"Take it easy now!"

Could I interest you in a free pixel font this evening? There's 28 to choose from right here under CC0 :) not-jam.itch.io/not-jam-font...

Text set in a bold, round edged and slightly crooked sans-serif font. It reads:

"A pixel font

THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER A LAZY DOG.

It's set in a bright green on a dark blue-green background.

It's set in a bright green on a dark blue-green background.
