Chase Hunter

my indie game for 15 seconds

Congratulations, that is a huge accomplishment!

NES videogame scene of a castle made of brown-grey stone blocks, with cast shadows, a brick texture and bright highlights, seen from a rotated top-down angle, over a background of distant trees. It features dark green grass tiles, bright blue water pools, and yellow-brown wooden crates.

NES-compliant castle scene, made on the NAW editor by @nesrocks.bsky.social to take advantage of the 8x8 atributes supported by the amazing BB-Studio (a NES target game maker, fork of GB-studio) by @michel-iwaniec.bsky.social

Slow With a Side of Art Tomb Step Devlog - 003

Had a busy week this week, so I didn't have much time to dedicate. In the few moments that I was able to carve out I pushed some pixels.

Thanks! It feels good to have them checked off the to-do. Can't wait to see them in action in-game!

We hope to promote pixel art and game artists more as we enter a new era for our community, and doing so here feels like the best fit ❤️

I am on the other end where I usually have a few larger disks, but I am hyper aware and organized about what lives on them.

However, a big reason for the larger disk space is due to photos/video.

I’m also a manual copy folders kind of person. I have iCloud as a backup to my own drive backups.

If you really want to go the extra mile you could also spin up a local cloud drive if you have an old computer and a decent size hard drive lying around. If you have a few you can run an array.

@goblingrotto.bsky.social yo! What ever happened to you 3D monogame project?

Did you know that two sprites are enough to create rotating objects on the NES? #NESdev #MicroMages

In case you missed it, I wrote a blog post about working on Tomb Step's game engine. I drew this animation to accompany the post.

Thanks so much! Whenever I'm animating something--I do it in layers. I stay with the keyframes and then begin layering in details piece by piece. The car shake was the final *chef's kiss* to this one!

Looks like I have a doppelgänger that is also using ‘retroshark’…should I say something?

New blog post incoming in 4 hours!

This isn’t it, but I appreciate you sending it my way!

Thanks for the guess!

Well my memory failed me slightly. Looks like it is actual 3D, the wizard is also red.

The game is Sorcerobe by @boensaw.bsky.social

Nope, that’s not it🥲

I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to remember a developer and their project being developed between 2010-2016ish on tumblr. The game was a pseudo-3D pixel art game about a blueish/purpleish wizard sprite that would jump and float between cubes.

Anyone have any idea what I’m talking about?

I want it! Give me more!
