I did a lot of things over my break. One of those things was playing Pizza Tower. Itโ€™s now one of my favorite games. #pixelart #peppinospaghetti #pizzatower

#TheRabbitHole - my cinematic platformer in the vein of Another World and Limbo, comes out tomorrow.

It's hard to believe there's only one day left.

I've been playing around creating some simple puzzles in #Godot after falling down a point and click adventure rabbit hole recently. I think I'm actually getting the hang of #GDScript ๐Ÿ˜€

Intro illustrations. Done at a 640 x 360 screensize each.
Technically not #pixelart because it uses an airbrush layer on top for vignetting but I think it looks nice

She's been getting into pixel art and making colour blind friendly palettes so I thought it was a logical step. We have done a few little game projects before, but being able to see the changes made across a game and making it more colour blind friendly really seemed to strike a chord with her๐Ÿ™‚

Instead of starting our new #GameDev project over the May day weekend, my niece and I did a little #GameModding on her favourite #CosyGames. Just simple re-shades and a couple of sprite swap outs. She really got into it ... I can see her coming up with a few ideas of her own๐Ÿ™‚ Quite fun TBH!
