Some favorites from the Deck-Month 3 jam:
- silvazuao.itch.io/garoa-acida
- ednaarel.itch.io/port-priority
- mindape.itch.io/video-leech
- puter-and-tunep-games.itch.io/inspiration-...
Mostly I use real pics (sometimes a bit modified) and import them in Decker - it applies this dithering style automatically. But you can also use tools like ditherit.com for example

I made a new Steam page for The House Before - a game where you play as a house filled with weird creatures.
No release date yet, but it will definitely be out sometime in 2026.
Reposts and Wishlists very appreciated!

Made a small thing for a Galician game jam (don't worry, it's also in English).
The theme was making a game based on a short story about someone trying to remember an odd childhood story about fishing a giant octopus.
My take on this was a quiz horror game:
