Good afternoon, hope everyone is having a good day :)

Tweaking colors a bit, aiming for a darker atmosphere and making sure the interesting parts are clearly legible.

After that, more UI pixels, as required.

Good afternoon, hope you're having a lovely day :)

Pixelling monsters today for #RealmsOfAncardia. And to illustrate - an oldschool way of keeping track of sprites. Config file for beings has ~300 entries. Gods have mercy on us @brannalbin.bsky.social

Also generating them is a waste of life. 2-3 mins between prompts, not enough to do something constructive, long enough to feel life wasting away. Maybe 20 images per hour.

AI is excellent for marketing pitches to CEOs, and absolutely soul-sucking to actually work with.

I worked with AI images in a previous gig. They feel like a house of cards, you change one thing and everything falls apart. Human made images are *so* much easier to coherently manipulate.

Also without any sort of step by step to work from they're *hard* to reverse engineer into a repeatable style

Good afternoon, hope you're having a lovely day.

All good here. Pixelling some things today, and in the meantime enjoying @brannalbin.bsky.social 's cheat menu.

Definitely some life-changing cheats here :-0

#roguelike #rpg #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Pardon the experimental color pixels.

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a wonderful evening.

Reluctant to ask because it smells of engagement fishing, but I'm stuck in my own head about this...

Do you prefer prettier pixels like on the left, or more gameplay with a simplified look?

#roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #rpg

Good morning everyone, hope you're having a lovely day :)

All good over here! Preparing for a move and starting a week of graphical work with something great from @brannalbin.bsky.social

The world of Ancardia is now a globe :D

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a lovely day!

Lots of boring UI things this week, but I did manage to take a look at a more realistic Ancardian map for @brannalbin.bsky.social

Wanted it to feel more like a real place...

Have a great weekend! =)

#rpg #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Good evening BSky, hope you're all doing well :)

Realms of Ancardia continues, meanwhile an update for Strategy Game Icons is also in the works :)

Yes, they're free! ravenmore.itch.io

#gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Taking a while. Though I do feel I've improved somewhat on the color front.

Hello everone, hope you're doing well.

Here's a realistic picture of us crawling towards the weekend. No wait, that's ChAoS consuming the sun and stars.

@brannalbin.bsky.social is still cooking ;)

Have a lovely weekend everyone =)

#roguelike #rpg #RealmsOfAncardia #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Good morning Bluesky, hope you're all having a lovely day =)

@brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia coming along nicely. Added some visual flair to the cursors. Devil is in the details.

Prototype done in Unity may or may not be implemented ;)

#gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #rpg

Pardon the rough stitching :D

I don't think it could ever work as an actual in-game map, more like a piece of art to indicate the scale of the world.

@brannalbin.bsky.social 's Realms of Ancardia generates these giant worlds with contintents, islands and temperature zones/biomes. This is just an example of the vertical height of the world. Horizontally it's just as large.

Your image got me super curious how would this look as a globe.

@brannalbin.bsky.social Wouldnt this be an amazing way to display RoA world maps? :-0

For me it's tentacles. Can it have tentacles? What if there were tentacles. And if the tentacles were tentacling tentacly?

It's all very SFW, too.

O wow, quality really suffered :-0. Note to self: gotta learn to post proper pixels without getting the JPEG death crunch.

Good afternoon, hope you're all having a good day :)

This week adding art to liven up the UI in RealmsOfAncardia by @brannalbin.bsky.social.

Should have tested if it overpowers the panel BEFORE comitting to it? Perhaps...lessons learned.

#gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #RealmsOfAncardia

This is too accurate. I feel attacked.

Chaos strkes again. I am an absolute master of BSky gif posting apparently.. AMA.

Good morning, hope you're all doing well!

Fresh pixel art to start the day. Silently encroaching on the UI... an iteration of the "chaos progress bar" for #RealmsOfAncardia by @brannalbin.bsky.social

Now back to crafting pixels. Have a pleasant weekend =)

#gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart

#ADOM #AncientDomainsOfMystery starsigns are back in #RealmsOfAncardia. In the Ancardian calendar months are named after the star signs. There are 12 months of 30 days each (nice and even ;))

@brannalbin.bsky.social

#gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Good point! Will keep an eye on this.

Thinking about a UI that gets covered in growth as the world state changes.

Feel maybe too plant-like rather than tentacle like?
Maybe a simple bar makes more sense...

#roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #RealmsOfAncardia @brannalbin.bsky.social

#RealmsOfAncardia now haz framez... and better typography, spacing and a unified color scheme for the character generation screen.

#roguelike #programming

This is what happens when I overwrite the city tileset with the monster tileset by accident. @brannalbin.bsky.social

Enjoy the horror show, bsky, and have a great weekend =)

#RealmsOfAncardia

Just in case bsky butchers the gif again, there's an imgur version:
imgur.com/gallery/what...

Night lights in #RealmsOfAnardia just got slightly prettier.

#gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike

Sit on the pier, visit a tavern, watch the ships sail in for the night.

Note to self. Transparent PNGs are displayed with a black BG on bluesky. Not always optimal, want to remember that in the future.

End of this week is marked by a slight logo cleanup. Plenty of spritework done. More silly monsters coming.

Have a restful weekend everyone :)

#roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Hmmm...WEIRD. Testing again...

Once again! This time with a proper GIF =) LICEcap is great for this.,
