Been to a big chain grocery and they had Chinese carrots so eerily perfect and identical they might as well have been grown in Toonland.

I've been really interested in older cars recently and when I saw a Westfalia camper roll by at a stop, I knew I had to draw one like it! With cats, of course 😅 (I could've gone for a more contrasting color for the camper but the one I saw was green so I stayed with that idea)

Watercolor illustration of two cats enjoying a hot drink, one sitting and one standing, in front of a green Westfalia camper van.

Anyway! #pixelart #ドット絵

A pixel-art scene from Street Fighter 3 Third Strike with Lottie the calico cat fighting the character Ruy. She's already cleared the first round with a no-hit perfect. Good job.

"Microsoft is building systems designed to deliver ads without disrupting the gaming experience" I've never seen a sentence contradict itself so quickly.

We optimized draw calls by 99% (lol) in Hidden Folks 2 by writing some tools to find all textures used in a level, generate a level-specific atlas, and replace individual texture references with atlas textures. Thread below 🧵👇🏼 #godotengine

Two side-by-side screenshots showing before and after we applied a texture atlas optimization to our game Hidden Folks two, the before showing 13318 draw calls and the after showing 113 draw calls

We've been struggling with the splash screen for a while, we wanted to update it and make it more dynamic. After a lot of sketching and talking we figured out we could simply make it like a game level. #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker

Progress on WYSIWYG ui editor for Game Maker : That stuff is really hard! List is automatically built based on selected object's public values. Select a target then enter a new value and then the tool will crash because that's where I'm at now. #indiedev #gamedev

Isometric Sprites of Final Fantasy Tactics Characters. From left to right; Mustadio, Gafgarion, Agrias and Cidolfus. Below them is the original sprite that they are based off. All of the sprites are placed onto a subtle grey isometric grid background.

Animated version of the Cactus Man stage concept. I was initially going to just make a static MegaMan Dual Override mockup, but I had an evening before GamesCom and opened up my game engine for a bit. #pixelart #ドット絵 #megaman

Mages Unite ✨ Tee version will be available very soon👀 ⟡ #finalfantasy ⟡ #art ⟡ #illustration

Image shows four different types of mages that are walking in a row, surrounded by nature, a river and starry sky. The river is reflecting what the sky shows.

First we see a Red mage with a ranger hat with a feather, long white hair and wearing a red coat with cloak. He is holding a rapier with his right hand

Behind him is the White mage wearing a big white cloak with red triangle/way patterns, she is blonde with braided hair, and holding her staff.

After her is the Black Mage, wearing a big blue cloak with a pointy wizard hat. They're holding a rod with their hand.

and for last: we see the Summoner wearing a red headband with a horn attached to it. He is wearing a big yellowish cloak with a big yellow ribbon on top.
