New pixel ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-
I already failed the challenge I had set myself because I didn't upload anything yesterday, but anyway, I'll try to upload characters regularly for the rest of the month. I hope to reach at least 15 or something like that (°~° )

I've emerged from the depths of menu madness to find #ScreenshotSaturday already upon us? Aye, programming #Moonshell_Island tis cumbersome to bear. Good thing she's got an Inventory System~! 💪🎒

Somehow we had a successful game launch in 2025: A thread 🧵

We launched Little Rocket Lab this week, and it's been mega for us. Which is amazing, because well, the industry is bad right now!

So I wanna go through the things we did, in the hope that something here can be helpful to someone here

Been basically glued to twitch streams of Little Rocket Lab for the last few days.

If you're enjoying the game and the music, check out the soundtrack! A whopping double-album worth of music!

Available on Steam and Bandcamp.

I always miss #ScreenshotSaturday so I'm sneaking something in for #FamiliarFindings. Did you know you can play this game while also playing Stardew? I'm excited about what we're bringing into the game!

Hey Michael, congrats on the huge mile stone! Not only that but thank you for hosting up this art share! 👏🎨

Hey folks, I'm Joe! A game artist that mostly gets down on #pixelart !
A vibrant under water scene of a giant blue and yellow sea slug at the bottom of the ocean floor. Being discovered by a diver only visible in silhouette. a 1-bit pixel illustration of my former cat poe getting scratches. The main illustration is mostly created with dithering, using a dark people and a tan background. A teal skull screaming out acid like bubbles, with a tribal pattern behind it and a deep red background. This illustration was created in pixelart and used ZX Spectrum color palette. This was a photo study of The Little Rock 9, only using values of grey, black, and white to illustrate the full piece.

Was looking for a warm spring/summer feel for the environment. Some movement in the plants really helped make it feel more vibrant as well(too stiff without it).

Not a fan of heavy handed tutorials. In Fist of the Forgotten, I tried to let players discover the mechanics, but they didn't click for some, so I'm adding a tutorial level that can be loaded/resumed from at any point.
