You don’t have to tell me twice. Pre-ordered!

Pretty excited to start bringing this new concept to life for Comfy Jam #pixelart #halloween #indiedev #godot

A pixel art scene showing a pumpkin, catapult, and ghouls n' ghosts under a waning crescent moon. Just in time for spooky season.

Also started on some quick, preliminary animations tonight for the player character for this week’s jam

Took a dev break for a few but it’s time to get back to it. These pixels ain’t gonna push themselves 😤

Did you join the jam? It’s my favorite but couldn’t participate this year 😭 So many great looking games that I’ve seen so far

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Been heads down doing programming for NES Jam the past week and a half and it’s been so different solely focusing on the coding aspect rather than trying to balance both art and coding. I’ve definitely been able to get deeper here than I have with other projects, but I miss pushing all the pixels 😂

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

It looks so good 🤩🤩

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

I really loved this one in particular!

120

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

I wish I could relive golden souls and its sequel. They’re both so good!

110

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

Intimidating for sure, but also 1000% worth it!

010

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

That's real. No better test harness than the actual game ya made 'em for 😂

010

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Loving the extra contrast on the right—it lets the plants have so much character and visual interest!

110

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

How are you testing these btw? Especially thinking about that across Godot upgrades 🥴

100

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

The skull reads so well for so few pixels!

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Mario Maker was great! I think a lot about Klik N Play, and that’s worth looking at if you haven’t here. It used an event based system for connecting together different elements

111

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Nice! I think it’d be interesting to try doing something similar with a more recipe-oriented approach (specific approaches tailored to specific genres, and then you can mix and match them) as opposed to making things really generic like so many engines do.

110

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

It’d be interesting to look across genres to see what kind of behaviors can be extracted that are common across multiples of them. Many games involve movement, for example, but we’re on our own to implement it and deal with edge detection, pathfinding, collisions etc

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

“An RTS”? More like “A RTS” but who needs grammar or proofreading on the Internet anyway 😂

010

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

An RTS like Command and Conquer!

210

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Love that earring and the palette choice here!

120

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Yeah, the dithering here is 🔥!

130

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Looks so wonderfully rendered!

110

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Love the palette. I’m using something close (maybe even the same!) for a game I’m working on

110

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Absolutely stunning work 👏

010

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Spent the weekend and a little bit of this week so far working on smooth, near pixel perfect zoom in one of my low resolution pixel art games. What a change! Will hopefully get the rest of the kinks out to share something soon.

Slime Time took first place in Alchemy Jam #8! A new release is out with an improved ending and more. tbleazy.itch.io/slime-time/d...

I really liked how some of these little vignettes came out, too.

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

This week I experimented with updating my recent jam game to let the player and other entities take in scripted inputs—super useful for making custom in-game animations! #godot #pixelart

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

It's also time for a little break from jamming and getting back to my regular projects and other adventures in pixel art. I'm so excited to keep pushing forward on more content for Light It Up.

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Another jam entry wrapped up! Slime Time is a platform puzzle game with over 750 frames of hand-drawn and animated pixel art. Plus an amazing OST by Jackson Cordes. tbleazy.itch.io/slime-time

Hyped to drop my newest jam game, Zip Zap, sometime tomorrow! The theme for this jam is "Shock," and it's been so much fun drawing and animating in two colors this past week #pixelart #indiedev #godot
