Statement: No AI was used in the making of WOODROT. That's right, all flaws in the art, writing & music are uniquely my own. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame #noai

happy new year. inspiration vs in game art. I spelled back wrong. It took me so long to realize (my 9 year old pointed it out) that I decided to publicly post my shame anyway #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #screenshotsunday #art #digitalart #surreal

Early pixel sketch of Kokee's apartment. Throughout Woodrot I really played a lot with perspective and how to represent these living areas in unique ways #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

The very first sketch of Oswald. I just started drawing a face, didn't realize he'd be old until he was on paper and just went with it. Typically I like to work with the first ideas #art #indiegame #gamedev

You ever wake up in the middle of the night stumbling through the hall trying to find the bathroom? Half dreaming and half relying on muscle memory to keep you upright? #indiegame #solodev #pixelart #animation

I am! Currently working on the trailer. Here's the poster for the game

This is Oswald, the maintenance man. There are two things every maintenance man must obey. 1. The building is always right 2. By god, you will maintain. #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

My name is Johnny Clyde. I’m a reclusive artist who reluctantly taught myself a bunch of skills cause I was too shy to ask professionals and now I’m here! #solodev #gamedev

You always kept to yourself but now the whole apartment building is floating in the middle of the ocean. No warning, no flood, and presumably no act of God. Woodrot is a surreal adventure game where you find yourself entwined in the strange lives of your neighbors. #indiegame #solodev

A scene from a video game called Woodrot. There are the panels, each of them scene from a different room. It is drawn in a pixel art style in shades of green, burgundy and black. The left panel is that of a bedroom, the middle is that of a bathroom, and the right one is a shot of a kitchen.

I actually started with the same technique because I find drawing on a computer a bit awkward still. Thought I was cheating until I found this out!

Did you know pixel backgrounds from old pc games were often just computer scanned traditional paintings? After importing, they were then scaled and color limited. It's really interesting how limitations became a style that is now emulated on purpose #pixelart #gamedev
Concept art from the video game Secret of Monkey Island from 1990. It's a watercolor painting in shades of brown, yellow and golden of buildings in the background and in the front, there are some skulls stuck on polesA screenshot from the video game Secret of Monkey Island from 1990. It shows the same building and skulls on poles but this time it is very compressed and in a pixel art style. We now also have items in the foreground like the playable character and a wooden crate. The UI is also seen in the bottom of the screen

I still think it needs another pass, but I always find it fascinating what a bit of extra effort can do #pixelart

It's always important to make sure your pixel animation is on beat! #pixelart

Are you sure your name is Vintent? Try entering your name again
A screenshot from WOODROT, an upcoming surreal video game. It is drawn in a black and white pixel style. There is an onscreen keyboard that gives you the option to enter your chosen name for the game. But every letter is o, s, w, a, l and d. Spelling out the name oswald over and over.

Hello Neighbors! I’m Johnny Clyde, an artist currently working on a strange little video game called WOODROT about a maintenance man trying to save the world of his neighbors. Expect rough stuff, polished stuff, mindless thoughts and art. #promosky
A screenshot from an upcoming surreal video game called WOODROT. 
A very kind and completely normal looking star with a human face is being lit by a spotlight in front of a black background. 
At the bottom, the human faced star with very defined cheeks peaks out from a dialogue box that is surrounded by an intricate border. The text reads: Your name is Oswald? 
The entire image is in a black and white pixel art style.
