Further adventures in artistic gatekeeping. It’s not just digital art in this house. Watercolour, neocolor ii and prismacolours.

a small painting taped to a board, it features a medieval lady in red and yellow with a draped veil. Pose inspired by a thumbnail from a Honeyswords video on youtube.

It's been a month (to the day!), but Quest of Dungeons is now out for the Switch 2, with some new art from yours truly! I got to make entirely new tilesets for the new mode that got included in this release! 🎨 You can read about it (and see samples of the new art!) on David's post! Go check it out!

I had the utmost pleasure of painting the cover illustration of @marianavcoelho.bsky.social 's debut novel 'Truthteller' for Transworld/Penguin Random House UK! ⚖️ Out March 2027!

Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira for the book 'Truthteller' by Mariana V. Coelho, featuring a woman with a golden headpiece that covers her eyes and fans out behind her head like rays. She is wearing a red and elaborate outfit with multiple layers and gold embroidery with gemstones. She is holding a scale in each of her hands, while the scales' chains wrap around her hands and forearms and go up towards the sky. Some of the chains are breaking, one of the scales is tipping down and gold liquid is running down.

I wanted to reintroduce humans and animations back to the game using the new ECS system and GPU instancing this week, and today it finally happened! It's not perfect, and needs a lot of work still, but it was very exciting to reach this point! Can't wait to re-implement all the missing features!

This week I got seeded runs working in Star Spark. You can copy/paste values from elsewhere (like your run history) or enter your own seed on the character select screen when starting a run. Video of it working in the quoted post 🙂 Steam page: s.team/a/3639950 #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #Godot

A screenshot from my game, Star Spark. It shows the character select screen with a dialog modal open in the center center of the screen which allows the player to enter or paste some text for a custom seed for their run.
