Today's @pixel_dailies prompt was "motion", and I went to an arcade tonight for the first time in ages, and even my small kids (3 and 6) loved it.

Platformer demo screenshot of a cave scene. Walls are dark blueish and covered in green moss, cave background is brown with black dark holes. Small to giant mushroom grows on floor and walls, a little character is standing on a giant mushroom, a luminous giant plant grows from cave ceiling. Weird geometrical glowing structures seems to grow here and there. There is bottom down passage leading to left, a cliff passages leading to top right, hidden channels leading to bottom right and bottom and a vine path leading to an upper scene. Overall picture got a chunky/glitchy text mode pixel art style

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.

Today's @pixel_dailies prompt was "confetti", and BANG!

Pixel art showing the end of a gun barrel, but instead of a projectile it has extended a rod from which a sign labeled "BANG" dangles. Confetti has also shot out.

March I will be posting a batch of updates that will consist of individual images that I couldn't fit in under a specific topic or name.

I'm starting with the winning entry of the Amiga Magazin Color Cycling Contest, where I finally found a version with correct colors that allowed me to recreate the color cycling animation.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@freepixelart/116166886761413677

this shit is ai-generated slop

calling this out because they only mention the AI thing in their about page. i wouldn't have said anything if not for the fact that it strolled across my timeline from the #pixelart tag, and i checked the site because it seemed cool.

FreePixel is a curated library of AI-generated pixel art assets, designed specifically for game developers and creative projects. Every asset in the vault has been generated using specialized AI tools for creating high-quality pixel art sprites, tilesets, characters, and UI elements.

fuck this shit. fuck this slop garbage and fuck the people trying to make money off it. oh yeah i didn't mention, the site is a bait and switch. the pixel art isn't free, you need to pay "credits". for now the credits come from daily lootboxes alone, and you can guarantee they'll start letting you buy them soon.

they made a gambling site for slop. and they know it's gambling too, because the "art" they list has a rarity rating. they slopped out some images, assigned them a rarity score, and put them in a fucking slot machine. they say they want to make pixel art "accessible" (destroy every ai bro who says that word) but how does a gambling machine do that? they're not even pretending. just lying.

fuck this shit.

Today's @pixel_dailies prompt was "dome", and I looked at a lot of Biosphere 2 pics before deciding it wasn't really a dome, and instead pixelling the Climatron dome from the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis.

#pixel_dailies #pixelart #aseprite #MastoArt #timelapse

Alt...

Pixel art of the entrance to the Climatron dome at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. It's a glass dome surrounded by hexagonal sections of piping, with blocky entrance doors at the base, and hedges growing up from the bottom.

Alt...

Timelapse gif of pixelling a geodesic dome what the hell was I thinking.

Was able to get some decent results out of Blender again for pixel-art-ish workflows.

I wanted a DIP packaged CPU in a not quite 2:1 isometric perspective, and i had no idea how to tackle the pins, so rendering is a great way to cheat.

Although for this chip, I pretty much just had it render the outline and the text, and colored everything else myself - it's heavily retouched, the pins were all redrawn, but sometimes you just need a good reference!

Today's @pixel_dailies prompt was "yearning", and it's #ShrimpSunday, so we gotta talk about it. The shrimps, they yearn for the mines.

#pixel_dailies #pixelart #aseprite #MastoArt #timelapse

Alt...

Pixel art of a small orange shrimp swimming next to a large naval mine, covered in algae and looking quite menacing.

Another month down! This month's crop of @pixel_dailies prompts had some real bangers in it, and it netted me some new favorite pieces for sure.

#pixel_dailies #pixelart #aseprite #MastoArt

Alt...

Calendar view of my Pixel Dailies pieces for February 2026: wheat, ultimate attack, yoyo, courtyard, shadow, bomberman, microphone, rays, glass, pot plant, transport, jester, snail, cactus, gear, club, rock formation, bag, underlit, rabbit, loaf, premonition, citrus, folding chair, vent, household appliances, 16x16 max, metal, and weirdness.

Today's @pixel_dailies prompt was "weirdness", which initially threw me for a loop. Then I remembered Geoff Peterson, the robot skeleton sidekick for Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show. Built by Grant Imahara of the Mythbusters (RIV), he was simply perfect.

As Geoff would say, "Balls."

#pixel_dailies #pixelart #aseprite #MastoArt #timelapse

Alt...

Pixel art of Geoff Peterson, the robot skeleton sidekick to Craig Ferguson while he hosted the Late Late Show. Geoff wears a yellow-greenish suit that's too big for his skeleton body, has a metallic mohawk, glowing blue eyes, a big ol' Price Is Right nametag with "GEOFF" on it, and a bunch of mardi gras beads, lanyards, and other crap around his neck.

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.
