DID YOU KNOW? Early versions of Super Mario 64 included a character known only as f_ish.bo who would do nothing but stand still and watch the player. He was eventually removed from the game for being "too cool"

Bugman dungeon in the forest
High-res textmode pixelart of a forest containing a small dungeon. There's several various critters scattered around, as well as a river and some minecart tracks. CRT shader applied for stylistic purposes.

🥍 Bugnet Only Run Confirmed. This foe met a terrible fate, getting bunked in the head over and over... and over! I thought it would be fun if the bugnet actually gave a tiny bit of damage, although it's not for combat. #Huskborn #gamedev #n64 #soulslike #zelda #platformer

It's hard to express how much is going on here and what a big deal it is. We've been building toward this for over 8 years now, and we genuinely built a video game history research tool that is usable by anyone. We're democratizing game research through a free, no-bullshit, human-curated resource.

So for #AlabasterDawn I'm not only a sound designer, but also a graphics programmer & technical artist. I set up the render pipeline and wrote shaders for water, lighting, fog etc. Which was quite challenging bc of the 2.5D pixel art look!

Heavily inspired by @curepixel.bsky.social, I've tried a pixel art technique that consists in avoid letting single pixels that are not connected to at least one more of the same color in the art, and I loved the process (if you see any pixel that are against the rules, pretend you didn't lol)!
