Lovvvee the lighting effect. Any chance you used crocotile to make this?

This goes so hard

Omg you didn’t just push him down you stepped on him

Ooh can’t wait to try this! Been looking forward to it

really impressed by how organic the shapes are and how dynamic the lighting while still being able to clearly communicate the playable space and interactive elements. I want to play this version. Beautiful!!

I am an animator and I like the pain

Wow I love this design I hope you feel the urge to revisit it in pixels someday

Update: the batteries in both cartridges are dead it’s so over

Bought this bad boy to play some games I got in Japan… lord does this sound activate something in me

I literally just started replaying this a few days ago absolutely one of the greatest RPGs of all time

We're approaching the end of all of this nonsense. Pieces like these are the kind of bullshit you saw at the end of the metaverse and crypto bubbles - Roose wrote them then, too.

Humouring the most empty, cynical, nihilistic people in tech and pretending it means you're curious is ugly stuff.

Been trying to read more books on the industry lately and this sounds very relevant to my interests 📌

Lyuda says trans rights are human rights

Omg this is unreal

Now you’re just flexing

Little animation I made for practice a couple years ago. There was never really a goal with this so I can't really say if it's finished or not. Used my own hand for reference. #pixelart

The Zelda mockup (3rd image) is part of a project I’m working on to recreate the first dungeon from the original NES game with my own graphics and updated mechanics. I’m going to be posting updates as I create new assets.

A mockup of a 16-bit top-down action RPG. The player character is brandishing his sword at a small mushroom-looking critter, and a treasure chest sits on top of a nearby hill, just out of reach. I worked on this project with a couple of other devs (who have long since disappeared into the depths of the internet) circa 2012. Golden Sun and Secret of Mana were the principle inspirations for this one.

A sprite of a samurai warrior in a bright turquoise and purple robe. Inspired by classic fighting games like Street Fighter II and Marvel Vs. Capcom.

A recreation of a dungeon antechamber from the original Legend of Zelda in a higher resolution (16-bit) style.

A mockup of a GameBoy Color-style top-down RPG. One character with bright purple hair has just spotted the player character and is about to rush over to say hello. A steampunk-looking house sits on top of a hill with a large pipe protruding from it.

New intro post since I'm at GDC (!!) -- my name is James and I'm a UI designer by day and a pixel artist by night. I have a particular love of 8- and 16-bit art, Zelda, and dark/medieval fantasy. #pixelart #pixelartist #aseprite #gamedev #gameart #indiedev

Oooh this is such a gorgeous silhouette

Thank you for the dopamine 🙏

404: The Internet You Tried to Remember Still Exists

Scrolling the web is like pacing a hallway built by algorithms. But the web once felt like an attic filled with ornaments, spaces built by people, not predictive engines.
Maybe real joy isn’t in the scroll, but the hyperlinks we stopped clicking.

I looove the nose. Awesome design. Something about the style reminds me of the OG Rayman!

This is what it’s all about

The crease in the eyelid where the iris slips behind it 🤌🤌🤌
