I’m testing out a pipeline of taking a colored pencil sketch, taking a picture and vectorizing it in something like affinity, and converting that to pixel art with something like pixelover to maybe use for static assets in my game. It’s looking promising! #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #vectorart

Here’s another one! The T stands for Tier. Each weapon type has 5 tiers, with tier 5 being the best and tier 1 being the worst. I want to make each tier have a different aesthetic! #pixelart #conceptart #gameart #weapon #dagger #rpg #tailsofepmyria #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Currently writing the pseudocode for the character class for my game. Basing it off of the system for #pmd. It’s a lot of variables. Haven’t even gotten to the functions yet and I have two whole pages in my notebook filled #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #coding #godotdev #rpg #programming

This is just the variable It’s like 7 or 8 pages, but the pages are rather small cause it’s not a really large notebook. Have not even begun writing the functions but it’s already looking good! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godotdev #coding #programming #TailsofEmpyria

The animation test also went well! i will have to do future animation stuff where I import the animation in layer by layer so I can set up the layers in the export to aseprite. and fix a slight issue with the frame rate with certain file formats. #gamedev #animation #tailsofempyria

Tails of Empyria’s cutscenes are now being made in Callipeg on my android tablet. I am really liking it! This is a *very* anti adobe project so animate would not do. Glad I found Callipeg! #gamedev #indiedev #animation #digitalanimation #softwrare #Callipeg #2Danimation #tailsofempyria

It’s designed for helping game developers do a similar thing and take more standard digital art assets and help convert them to pixel art assets through shaders and bit crushing and stuff

Did some testing of a post processing software (not AI) to help take the more standard digital animation I’m doing with the cutscenes and convert it to pixel art more quickly. This is a test of it with one of my mermay pieces that I did a little bit of cleaning up in aseprite afterwards! #gamedev

Nintendo’s games might not be gritty and “realistic” but they inspired future generations of developers, including us included. The games they prefer very much will not

So the next week for developing Tails of Empyria has 2 main goals and a sub-goal if one of the goals is completed 1. Continue work on on the character sprite template. 2. Locate coding resources and documentation to help with the dungeon generation system. 2a. Start work on that system.

Good Evening Bluesky! Here at Tails of Empyria, If you are a digital animator, we need your advice. I am looking for an animation software (that Isn’t Adobe) to animate the cutscenes. Ideally free, but if it is paid a one time purchase i have used Krita for animation but I am exploring options.

And at the end of the day, I’m just trying to make a game people will enjoy, regardless of where they stand politically. It will have some “messages” but they are mostly politically neutral.
