Enjoyed this a lot! Apparently a gameboy pixelart tutorial made by someone who knows what they're doing was just what I was needing about now. Hope the video does well.

So, hear me out: mistakes were made, it's overly long, I mumble and sound like a machine gun.
Regardless, here it is: my fir #pixelart tutorial.
I'll do better next time, I promise! 💪

Thanks!

Thanks so much for saying.

A street on a foggy morning. Cars go up and down, their light reflect on the wet asphalt

Foggy morning. #pixelart Trying to recreate an effect I saw on an early morning walk over Christmas.

Zelda aesthetic doesn't gets old.

Anyway as of latest brainstorming, if this game becomes a thing, it sounds like we're going with drum roll... killing an enemy transforms you into that enemy. Undecided on how long the transformation would last. Maybe time limit or monster mana usage... something.

A sad farewell between a man and a woman while behind them their son barters passage through the swamp with a giant robot.

A clash between giant mecha as in the background a boy is climbing a tower towards an ominous figure in white and a woman is climbing up after him.

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Let 2026 be the year you draw your weird cringe sci-fi/fantasy webcomic, don't let that shit die with you having never left your head.

Looking back at my year I've made a lot less pixelart than in previous years, so less to choose from for my 'year in review'. I can't see that getting better in the near future. Hopefully I'll keep going. My plan is to work on less big, complex stuff to keep learning and keep things ticking over.

Twelve images in a grid format: partisans on a distant world, a mage holding fire in her hand, a head in burgundy, a mermaid robot, an awkward party, a man looking at a dragon, a dragon, a robot clockmaker, a plant zombie, a woman with a rubik's cube, a wizard with some owls.

A year in review. One #pixelart image I completed during each month of 2025.

A textmode drawing of an abstract room with purple and blue checkered walls and floor. The room has a prison bar window and an ominous shadow with a hat standing in a corner. The right side of the room is dissolving, revealing the space background with Earth.

Yes, it's a bit like that isn't it. I've been thinking about it kind of like a graphical level select screen.

A labelled pixel-art picture of a mountain, stretching from the port of Westeharbor at the base, up past the town of Stormsurge, the alpine village of Underpeak and culminating at the Cloud Temple on the very top of the highest, snowiest peak.

A map of Stormsurge. My PixelJoint Secret Santa pic for 2025. Made for Fortuna0800 on that site, who is apparently quite into maps and imaginary places and imaginary things. #pixelart

This is excellent. So much stuff in there to look at and so unified as a composition too.

One of my favourites from 2025 secret Santa. Fantastic achievement within the time (and generally).

Huge pixel art illustration of an overgrown, clunky mech in a forest, illuminated by bright and colourfull light rays that comes from the sky. A crow is standing on the boxy head of the mech, which is also bursting with a white flower bush. An old korrigan (Britton elf?), who is roughly the size of the crow, is chilling on the shoulder of the mech. in the cockpit, three little korrigans are playing. On the ground, from right to left : 2 little korrigans are drawing children drawing on the mech, standing on the root of the tree the robot is resting on. One is sleeping in the driver helmet, while 2 others are scheming to wake them up using big nails as hammers on the helmet. A lil korrigan with a big net is trying to catch a lullaby. Two korrigans are offering a group of snails a safe travel amongst the mayhem. One is looking at small mushrooms on a root covered by moss. Another is trying to pull a red small mushroom from the ground. Under the robot, two korrigans are trying to pull what appears to be a radioactive battery out of a small pond of water. Two korrigans are using one of the doors of the cockpit as a swing. One of them is looking slightly up, seemingly surprised. One is hopping out of the canon of the mech, looking into the same direction. Another one is playing with rocks along the river, also looking surprised. On the tree, a small dragon that mostly looks like a lizard with wings and a long neck is climbing. A korrigan is climbing after it, trying to catch it. And the last korrigan is sitting on one of the roots of the tree, looking at the dragon too. In the distance, in a hole on the tree, a grumpy owl is looking at the spectacle.

Alternative (anachronistic) hairstyle

Prolly gonna try a few of these — only must-have is that the hair is blonde/golden to some meaningful extent (it’s an indelible character trait which impacts another character)

One moment.

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does
