#Fish #pixel_dailies #pixelart @pixel_dailies

a giant fish like creature swimming around and looking at an underwater structure at the bottom of the water, a boat above them is lowering some sort of a capsule in to the deep

Between the rolling hills a river cut through the green valley, gurgling a constant stream of brilliant blue secrets, carrying them from snowy peaks to the sea.

I made these environments for a game I was working on with my wife for last year's DOS game jam. It was inspired by 70s speculative art and early Silmarils games. Unfortunately, I was rather too overambitious to get it done in time. We decided against releasing it unfinished, but it was such a cool idea we hope to pick it up again someday. It looks even better in action!

#gameDev #GameArt #retroGaming #pixelArt #fantasy #MastoArt

Alt...

Pixel art of a mountain top view. Two different frames of the player character, a white haired sword wielding sorceress, are at opposite sides of the frame, on a stone path overrun with vibrant lime grass, leading to a stone cave. In the background a mountain range is set against a multi-hued sky.

Alt...

Our sorceress meets a pixie, floating above an enchanted waterfall, surrounded by reeds and giant colourful fungi. We see the bases of giant trees receding into the light filled background.

Today's @pixel_dailies prompt was "forest", so cactus forest it is!

Today's @pixel_dailies prompt was "farm", and BEHOLD! The field in which I grow my pixels!

...it is actually plentiful and bursting with cool stuff, which kinda ruins the joke but oh well it was a fun one to pixel.

#pixel_dailies #pixelart #bayeuxtapestry #meme #redraw #aseprite #MastoArt #timelapse

Alt...

Pixel art of a specific guy from the Bayeux Tapestry who gets used in a meme saying "behold, the field in which I grow my fucks, it is empty and barren"... so a vaguely renaissance lookin guy with a cloak and tights gesturing outward, with medieval-y text above saying "BEHOLD".

Alt...

BEHOLD! The timelapse of me pixelling the BEHOLD guy and then expanding beyond my normal canvas size so I could get more of the tapestry effect and the text in.

#ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #Isometric

#Farm #pixel_dailies #pixelart @pixel_dailies

Alt...

a farm floating in space where the barn and coop the house the silos and the wheat field are on separate platforms attached to one another

(No references used, no gradient tools and no transparency, so yes, I'm sure real light doesn't work like that)

#PixelArt #Alien #movies #film #xenomorph #aliens #digitalArt #monster #scifi

Alt...

Pixel art, low res. Interior of a room, metal wall with pipes and hardware sticking out, a few dim pilot lights. Everything's dark except for an open, centered door letting a diagonal hard white-blue light in, bouncing on the fog on the floor. A xenomorph is about to enter, partly blocking the light where it touches the frame.

Every framework needs a splash screen! 🖼

As part of my secret project, I've been working on a color palette. It has 4 shades, 4 hues for each shade, and you are only allowed to pick 1 hue per shade (4 colors).

This means there are 256 different color combinations. Here is a pixel daily I did in January, but redrawn for all 256 palette combinations with this color palette.

I put a lot of thought into this palette over the past year and a half. I think I have it where I want now.

Rewrote the code for the Paint Bucket Tool in the Pixel Room Creator 1.1 update. Instead of clicking on every object you want to paint, just hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor. Every object that is touched by the paint bucket cursor will be painted.

Today's @pixel_dailies prompt was "steps", and I'm a mature adult who thought "step one, cut a hole in the box".

Also I'm tired, so it's a quick 1-bit piece. This week I'll be back home and hopefully have a bit more oomph.

Today's @pixel_dailies prompt was to pixel a tileset about water with each tile at most 16x16. I've had a very long travel day and bubble columns sounded fun to me.

I've been working on Pixel Room Creator this week. Here are some half-finished assets that will be in the 1.1 update. I will create some more when I have time. Currently aiming at getting the update done for the one year anniversary, June 1.

An image in isometric pixel art style, depicting many different objects - kitchen things, toys for pets, sports gear, decorations, etc.

Okay, it's out.

Lena is a handmade framework for making tiny games with palette graphics.

It's software-rendered, cross-platform and comes with constraints that challenge your creativity without limiting your game's size and scope. It comes with batteries-included palette graphics, some novel palette-blending and drawing effects, a simple audio interface, text rendering, and loaders and decoders for assets. It also compiles and runs on:

🪟 Windows (Native)
🍏 macOS (Native)
🐧 Linux (via SDL3)
😖 WebAssembly (Native)

The core functionality of Lena is implemented from scratch in almost exactly 2,000 lines of Odin, and while I designed it as a fun little game jam framework for myself, I hope it can also serve as an interesting learning tool for people looking to delve deeper into low-level system and engine programming for video games.

🕹️ https://github.com/lichendust/lena

I'm releasing this as a version v0.0.0 on GitHub right now, with the hope of getting some feedback before declaring a truly API-stable 1.0.0 release.
