Our artist had zero experience working with pixel art when we started.
He learned the foundations, refined techniques, made it his own, and gave that to Fretless.
Proud to share that his efforts have earned us a nomination!

Super excited that Fretless has been nominated for Best 2D visuals in the @unity.com awards! 🎸🤘

Ever wonder what it really takes to quit your job, start an indie studio w/ friends & ship a highly-rated RPG? @iamdovetail.bsky.social from @ritualstudios.bsky.social did exactly that w/ Fretless, published by @playdigious.bsky.social

When we say Fretless took 8 years, we really mean it took 8 years to find. Many games were started/abandoned.
Gameplay from 2019 shows our first level “The Mine” where Rob searched for magical ore to upgrade his Shovel Guitar!

We found amazing 3rd party tools which afforded rapid iteration of animations and tile maps.
