another #pixel_dailies and #monthlypixels combo post! could still use a some clean-up, but that has to wait 'til next week :) #pixelart #tarot #tower #space #black_hole @pixeldailies.bsky.social

finally remembered to post on #screenshotsaturday! i am building a semi-cozy farming rpg with turn-based combat and roguelite elements :) still very early in development, but i am finally at a point to add content and start polishing #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #godot

#justice #tarot card! i needed to start working on the #monthlypixels cards anyway, so perfect #pixel_dailies prompt yesterday :) i'm not yet satisfied with the gold effect, but overall pretty happy with how it turned out! #pixelart @pixeldailies.bsky.social #nebula #space

kelp hair is best hair! love how she's turning out :) #pixelart #characterdesign #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #NPC #wip

little #thief for today's #pixel_dailies :) #pixelart #raccoon @pixeldailies.bsky.social

this week i'll be working some more character portraits! i've always sucked at flat coloring, because i always feel the need to add another color to make the transition smoother, lol. i like where this is going though, so i embrace it :D #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #wip #character #npc #indiedev

#sourdough for #pixel_dailies :) #pixelart @pixeldailies.bsky.social

repost of my #torch for #pixel_dailies, hopefully with better quality now @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixelart #pixel_art

a #torch for #pixel_dailies! i normally work in a higher resolution, so this was a fun little challenge :) @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixelart (bluesky keeps messing with the quality, it's driving me bonkers!)

it takes forever, but i love how the forest is turning out! #gamedev #solodev #pixelart #forest #wip #landscape

i'm not really able to code in this heatwave, so i started working on this monster animation instead :) still very rough and WIP of course. currently at 29 frames :) #gamedev #solodev #animation #pixelart #indiedev

My personal highlights from the Godot 4.7 release: custom_maximum_size + offset_transform for Controls and tween_await()! Especially offset_transform is going to save me from so many headaches. Fancy UI development is going to be such a breeze from now on, i love it :D #gamedev #godot #indiedev

spend some more time on the background and sprites :) still a lot to do, but i love where it's going :) #gamedev #solodev #pixelart #indiegamedev #godot

Behold, the first half of the "make it exist first"-meme! :D Started working on a combat system, placeholder UI stands, now onto adding functionality! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #solodev #turn-based #godot

sketched up some emotions / reactions :) the plan is to have each of them with minor animations, but that's still far in the future. now to integrate them into dialogues, and then it's time to start on the quest system :) #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #NPC

same character, three completely different looks, haha. Sometimes it's nice to look back to where you started and see the progress! She still needs some clean-up, but i finally found a portrait style! :D #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #solodev #godot

Beckx@beckx-creates.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Still not finished, but this is a placeholder portrait i can live with now :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

progress of the new character portraits, i'm kinda digging the sketchy vibe. I do want to keep it kinda semi-realistic comic style, but i tend to go overboard with shading, so we'll see how that goes :) #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

it's happening again, lol #gamedev #solodev

Beckx@beckx-creates.bsky.social · 6mo ago

redrawing my portraits again, lol. they're not necessarily bad, they just don't align with the overall style i'm going for. and although the game is still very much in placeholder art stage, i just can't stand looking at them, haha. #gamedev #indiedev

progress! :) moved player animation handling into an AnimationTree, now all i gotta do is draw all those transition animations #gamedev #pixelart #godot #indiedev #solodev

aaand the tilemap is back, haha. i use it for tilled soil and to identify what kind of ground we're walking on, so that i can add different walk / step sounds later :) #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I've been really productive yesterday! started working on an actual game map (not a placeholder) and decided to abandon the tilemap once again, let's hand draw everything, haha... btw aseprite's custom brush is a lifesaver for drawing/ sketching grass! #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #godot #aseprite

had this hagstone idea for a time / weather display :D #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #wip

I've been busy bringing life into the village :) no animations yet, but i wanted to experiment with the look of sprites vs portraits. i'm also super proud of the wall texture! #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #wip #godot

Started working on a sprite version :) Hopefully it displays right, been having issues with bluesky and gifs lately #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation

new profile picture! it's a critter for my game: there'll be different types you can tame (after defeating their boss) and they'll either help out at the farm or in battle, or produce resources :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

Coming from the world of CSS, not having a max size was such a hard adjustment for me when styling my UI in Godot. I kinda learned to work around it but I'm still glad it's coming in 4.7! #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Dandelion poster for one of my shop scenes, finally finished! At some point I'll add a frame to it, but i've been working on this for the past few days and i need to work on something else now, haha. Original size is 171 x 231 px #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #dandelion #illustration

Shop scenes will have this "zoomed in" look / perspective, and i intend to use every available pixel! :D Currently working on the poster in the back, will post it soon once it's finished. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

For those dealing with the new image compression blurring their pixel art, this thread is a must-read!

🧵 Pixel Art Resolution Sizes for BSky: A Thread! #pixelart #resource Key Points: - Recommended: 800% resolution for the best quality. - AVOID exporting at 400% resolution or below. - Bsky max image size is 2000px, so work at a max canvas size of 250px at 800% resolution for best results.

progress on the battle sprite :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation

battle sprite WIP :) spend the day yesterday on getting the base animation down, now onto clean-up and turning this into an actual character! currently at 21 frames #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation
