The days have been awfully dark, but I’m hoping everyone finds something bright and happy today. Whether it’s business as usual, hectic or quiet, with loved ones or by yourself—“you’ve made this day a special day, by just your being you.”

Wishing for a little extra light to find you today friend!

16 x 16 pixel art, 4-colors, an ant drawn on lined notebook paper with a ballpoint pen.

Pen’d ant. Did I do it right?

Soundtrack - Churro: Defender of Darnwood - YouTube Music Tracks from the in-progress indie platform game, Churro: Defender of Darnwood

I made all of these for my game on the Mac version. But I’ve imported my project, and I’ve been tinkering around with some new ideas. I definitely could have made these all in the mobile version, and I’ll be doing most of my audio work there now.

Incredible how workable it is on a phone. With this and Crispnes, there’s a lot of creative work I can tackle away from my ‘computer’.

Bluesky asked my birthday, so I came up with a “launch day.” Went with February 16, which launched the Mastodon account and logo. Used 1982 as the year, assuming Bluesky would have had an issue with a 2-year-old user.

The next candidate would have been March 4th, 2024 when my site launched.

I’m making a 160x90 resolution game that upscales into a knit fabric look. 8x8 is my core tile size, and I’m using sprites to the specs of the NES… for some reason. 😅

Two 8x8 pixel art icons variations side by side of a gray paint bucket spilling bright pink paint.

Hey #design persons and other opinionated sentient beings. Ignoring that I’m crazy for making 8x8, 3-color icons for my app, is the right paint bucket unambiguously better than the left? Do you have other thoughts or comments?

Walk animation for a ‘blizzeti’. I want them taller than Churro, but a similar scale. 8 x 12 pixels seems right, but it’s a lot to cram into the space with 3 colors.

Trying to capture a scowl, fuzziness, distinct limbs, and heavy gait—just shy of stomping.
