Just thought I'd do an art dump while I work on my game! In the middle of the boring stuff now, copying scripts and actors from screen to screen so everything works 😅

@jessecox.bsky.social 10 years ago I sent you a fan drawing while I was still in school and was absolutely blown away to discover you still had it! Today I proudly present a little cameo I made of you and Crendor in my first ever videogame! I hope you enjoy it!

So in order to run on original hardware it has to fit into a ratio of 160×144 which means all assets have to fit on a screen that large. This means character sprites have to stay within or near 16×16 pixels, adding outlines makes it larger in both dimensions by 2 pixels meaning you've got 14 left

Honestly for me it comes down to pixel ratios and hard black outlines. Some of the most iconic games from the era, Mario land 2, the oracle zelda games and pokemon all share a hard outline on all character and icons. It looks clean but some objects can be hard to draw with such little real-estate.

Progress continues on the upcoming game! The inventory works and items can be equipped enemies can explode and the player can take damage!

So sayeth the Space Butterfly! Long may he reign!

My first game Wizkid and the Tower Is available on my itch.io page as a downloadable rom file for gameboy, meaning you too can run it on original hardware and don't worry if you don't have the money you can always play it for free in browser. 😊

When I was a kid, During math tests and the like I always used to doodle in the margins of my paper, I haven't stopped that habit to this day 😅 although now a days instead of stick floating islands and stick figures I've fallen into the habit of drawing eyes 👀
