“An isometric pixel art tileset showing grassy dirt blocks, stone-topped terrain, sloped grass tiles, and dark stone or asphalt blocks. The tiles are arranged in rows on a transparent checkerboard background, displaying different heights, angles, and edge variations for use in a game environment.

An isometric pixel art sprite sheet featuring stylized trees and ground props on a transparent checkerboard background. From left to right are full trees with orange, blue, and green foliage, followed by a bare, leafless tree trunk. Below them are small environmental assets including rocks, a pebble, and a low green bush.

Sometimes it’s hard to find time to draw, but my isometric assets are slowly coming along #pixelart #isometric

Working on some isometric assets and why are pixel art bare trees so difficult to draw? Branches never seem to look quite right.

Back on Digg for the first time since 2011 let’s goooooo

A screenshot from the recently released Barbarians for MS-DOS. It uses a similar layout to the versions ZX Spectrum and some Psion pocket computers. A central main map is surrounded by various information panels: on the left, information about the empire as a whole, on the right, information about the last referenced map square, and underneath, the game's name and a one-line prompt and menu display.

Recently I released #Barbarians for #msdos. This release was for the #DOSember Game Jam, a 3-month game jam for MS-DOS preceding the month-long DOSember streaming event for 2025. cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-dos #gamedev

Drawing isometric brick staircases is hard.

Did they use AI to name it?

More pixel art drawings for October #pixelart #retro #glitch

Wife got me this pixel art display gadget for my desk and I absolutely love it. Been making my own little 16x16 pieces to flip through. #divoom #pixelart #ditoo #retro

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for N64 (1997)

Goldeneye 007 may be the FPS that people think of first on N64, but Turok WAS the first FPS on N64

With an insanely creative arsenal of weapons, and buckets of blood—it screams late 90s edginess in the best way

Turok definitely deserves a home on your shelf 🦖

A gravel bike with black handlebars is paused on a dirt trail surrounded by tall pine trees. The path winds gently ahead through a sunlit forest with patches of green grass visible in the distance under a partly cloudy blue sky.

Been hitting the trails every weekend lately while my wife prepares to run a 5k. I’ve been putting this bicycle through its paces. Also a great inspiration exercise for the isometric game assets I’m working on. #cycling #outdoors #trails

Xenoblade Chronicles may be one of my favorite series out there. That being said, I absolutely hate the UI in the second game. #xenoblade #gaming #UI

Missed a few days of pixel drawing, so I had to make them up. Drew some more assets for whatever this is that I’m working on #pixelart #pico-8 #gamedev

V/H/S/Halloween may be the worst of the franchise. Yeesh #horror

Day 2: drawing a vacuum cleaner boss in my pico-8 game. Maybe I should give it some teeth. #pico-8 #pixelart #gamedev

Isometric pixel art designed in Tiled

I’ve been working on this isometric tile set for a little while and I’m liking how it’s turning out. One of my biggest challenges right now is readability. Upper/lower levels can be hard to distinguish from each other, and environmental objects blend in too much. #pixelart #isometric #tileset

Pixel art of a tuxedo cat in Pico-8

Going to challenge myself to draw pixel art everyday this month. Been having a blast learning Pico-8 in all its rudimentary glory #pico8 #pixelart

Why is my keyboard always tired?

Because it has to work two shifts.

blender 4.3 will finally have draggable docks

I’ll take it!
