It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy and far too rough. Indeed, it was like a heap of raw iron.

Is it possible to post videos of pixel art game without them being completely butchered by bluesky compression?

Messing around a bit, trying to figure out how active magic effects or auras could look like. But I'm not sure about this, maybe I stick with animated pixel art instead of shader for it

Xak: The Art of Visual Stage (1989) | action RPG | PC platforms | Micro Cabin

This action RPG was initially released only in Japan and shares a few things in common with Falcom's first Ys games as our protagonist, the descendant of a heroic god, bumps his way through foes to a rocking soundtrack!

Worked some more on the Cellular Automata shader. Youtube compression kind of butchered it a bit though ๐Ÿ˜ž

Played around a bit making a cellar automata shader for some backgrounds for the game. The video recording did not like it.

Dead, cremated, and ashes spread to other projects. A lot of the โ€œengineโ€ of this game has the dungeon crawler in it.

I do want to make a dungeon crawler in the future. But it will be another project

I draw a lot. I draw #TTRPG art, #Comics, and a fair amount of #PinUpArt, mostly for fun. I do professional work when I'm in the mood. Here are 4 more of my favorite drawings from 2024... the list will change in an hour.

Added movement range preview on enemies. Also improved the AI stuff on them but not really noticeable at the moment.
