Was working on some new area art when I stumbled onto this cool diagonal brush mountain technique 🖌️
Used to see this in bob ross videos lol, but it works in #pixelart too!

My silly goose game :) Currently still 24h left on the -70% sale!

It's been a while since this was released, but every time I post about it, new people seem to discover it!

Mighty Goose is our epic run & gun shooter starring a bounty hunter Goose!

YES, that sounds incredibly silly, but make no mistake: This is our love letter to the genre, with a very big wink ;)

Check out the trailer and LET LOOSE THE GOOSE!! #gamedev #pixelart (links 👇)

Hmmm I kind of want to do it anyway :p If a few more people mention they would like it, I'll take that as an excuse to add in-depth pages

Updating the Sea Sniffers website, can’t help to add some new GSAP powered animations :)

I’m still in doubt about adding info pages for characters, the world of the game, etc. The truth is people don’t visit websites in 2025, but still we gotta have a page up 😛 #gamedev #webdev

Nope, sorry! But I'm sure there are tons to be found on yt :)

Richard Lems @rilem.nl · 23d

thx dude! For pixelart I work mostly in photoshop. However I also pixel a bit using pixquare which is quite great (promo code 'rilem' for 30% off! sorry hahaha)

But yeah mostly photoshop, my workflow is completely built around that monster :p

I do most Sea Sniffers concept art on the iPad pro, it's just such a fantastic and natural feeling drawing tool. #gamedev
