I feel like part of learning how to be more mature w/ my game development is to not constantly make project files for every single concept I have, but it's so hard to actually commit to only one major project.... Aughhh my brain feels like sludge

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

variations

This trailer is so incredibly GOOD I am struggling to find words that represent the feelings it's giving me... the vibes are so dreamlike and surreal. Genuinely excited to look further into this

Heartworm - the retro, fixed camera survival horror inspired game I have been working on for five years is out NOW on Steam. Please check it out if you're into that sort of thing! And if you enjoy it, leave a review as it really helps! Thank you

I was just gonna only do the first one but then I realized that their name was Nimbus so I thought it would be fun to do a flying Nimbus thing

this is why I have set my default canvas color to a green-ish gray color, since it's easier to look at; it also allows you to do highlights a little more easily when doing quick sketches!

nono this is also true I think; the fact that array indices start at 1 instead of 0 is absolutely confounding to me

A sketch of the King of Dreams, pointing with one arm and his other on his hip. His crown has a halo above it. He is a being composed of a strange "dream goo"

An update to the King of Dreams' design. Still coming up with a name for him

A screenshot of a game being developed in Mini Micro. A player character is standing in an empty room. The user interface below the room is empty.

Working on something for #KenneyJam using MiniMicro, since Kenney's 1-bit tileset is built-in for the console.

Not sure how I'll get the rest of stuff implemented, but I have a start at least!

Dark nighttime scene: A pile of trinkets from different mario RPGs lay at the bottom, with the clouds clearing out above showing the star road from super mario rpg (a giant radiating rainbow star). The pile of trinkets include; The 7 stars from super mario rpg. The 7 crystal stars from thousand year door. The beanstar from superstar saga. The miracle cure and dormant dark star from bowser's inside story. The dream stones from dream team. The purity and chaos heart from super paper mario. The watering can from brothership. The star rod from paper mario sticks out from the top.

this video game came to me in a dream once and i felt compelled to recreate it

Ah yes, fell for the classic "cardboard cutout of a chair" prank! Many such cases

A few doodles of Chester in his human form, with him, Grayson and Kris on at the bottom snapping their fingers. This is his updated CHERUBIM outfit, being a short sleeved hooded robe wifh fingerless gloves.

Various dooles of Chester in his giant form, as well as a sketch of his hand in a fingerless glove. On the upper right corner is a sketch of Agnarr, Chester's father, holding a much younger version of Chester.

Chester in his giant form floating with a few hearts near his right hand, and him smiling. This is his updated main outfit. A large two part robe with long and wide sleeves that are reach a bit past his forearms, fingerless gloves and big baggy pants.

Doodles from the past few days that I ended up really liking. It felt nice drawing Chester again

The same photo as the original post, containing the checkerboard-pattern furniture, but edited to look as if it was a screenshot from the game Fractal Block World. It contains various enemies and other game elements added onto the image.

"When making art, you gotta learn to get weirder!" "Why?" "Because it helps you learn!" "Oh! Hm..." "In life, there is this obsession with doing things 'the right way,' and sometimes even a punishment for doing it wrong. Even in art, even when there's no consequences, that fear can carry into it, and it feels suffocating." "But giving yourself some time to just mess around and use some brushes or tools you've never even touched can give you some insight!"

"For example, I'm really liking the 'Shape Engine' for brushes that Krita includes. Not a lot of options are included with it, but it's got some charm to it. (I'm using it to draw this comic btw!!!)" "So try things out! Sketch differently, put your whole shoulder into it, make that fanart for what you love, let yourself have fun with it! You're the one who's in charge, so let your mind run free!" "For me, I don't like to think of art as a thing that you can 'succeed' or 'fail' at. I can get stuck in that rut sometimes, but I don't want to be in it for long. The most important thing for me is that, by taking the time to do this, to let myself do what I don't normally do, by using the tools I haven't even touched yet, I can learn a new thing or two that I *can* use in the art where I want it to look good. Besides, no matter what you do, no matter what you draw or how you draw it, as long as you give yourself kindness and the opportunity to explore and discover..." "You'll get to where you want to be with your art skills. I'm sure about that."

Hi I have some thoughts on art, so comic be upon ye

Although you now got Pico8, there's also MiniMicro which is another "easy to pick up and use" type fantasy console! It is definitely in another niche than Pico8 is, though, but I think it's really fun and interesting

Lunaeous, a demigod prince

He's very pompous and arrogant.

Agnarr smiling. He's wearing similar clothes to Chester, and is what he normally wears nowadays. He has his wedding ring on his right hand, and a silver locket as his necklace that functions as a music box when opened. Inside contains a picture of him, his wife Eleanora, and his son Chester while he was still a baby.

Clothes Agnarr wears nowadays, similar to one of Chester's outfits. His heart shaped locket plays a song when opened.
