I think everyone should be paying attention to what payment processors are doing to independent game developers right now. Games have been the testbed for a lot of the shittiest ideas going right now and you better believe this effort will broaden its goals quickly

#battletech pixel art! It's been a whole since I did one of these. I tried making mechs at a bigger scale. Hopefully they're identifiable enough, but answers are in the alt text!

(Also give me battlemechs so I may draw them sometime in the future)

A variety of drawing that mostly include more feminine bodies and poses. There is also a cat demon sticking up the middle finger in the top right corner.

Prob the last art doodle collage for a bit. I focused more on posing here. Most of these poses I was referencing off pintrest.

Check out this cool collaborative effort to reinterpret old-school game graphics by numerous talented pixel artists! (There's even a toggle to see the originals). It's ongoing, but these #Zelda, #Castlevania, and #Pokemon redraws are delightful.

The Steam review system has become entirely destructive and counter-productive for indie devs. I've seen so many great games lately tanked by one bad review from someone who just didn't "vibe" with the game and couldn't keep quiet. Only takes 1 bad one on launch day to ruin years of work!

Imagine a Dino Crisis game (new or remake) with the style/budget/effort of the later Resident Evil games...

I played this straight after Elden Ring.

Itโ€™s tough, very tough. And feels horrible to play at times.

But after completing it, I have nothing but fond memories of it. I hope it works out for you :)
