This is very popular, yet WILDLY poor advice: “Be constructive, don’t complain about problems if you don’t have a solution”

If you hear someone say this, please consider slapping them with a large trout.

Being aware of problems is *incredibly valuable*, whether you have solutions or not!

random question 🤔
what's a more positively framed word for "competitor"?

peers or colleagues doesn't quiiite fit
friendly rival?...

something that's like, yes technically we are competing as industry professionals buuut not in a smug, one-upping each other kind of way

I'm looking for cool devlog from indie dev - something related to design, vfx, dev... Do you have anything to share?

not sure where to start with #PixelArt?
got stuck on how to do angles & what size to draw at?

it's allllllllll here!!
Tofu is great, and you should join the Cafe Dot discord, too! it's cosy and welcoming (for all abilities) 🥰
I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...
#tutorial

Hope someone finds it useful!

Little thread where I talk about subpixel animation and share some of my own resources I made to study it better.

This is a circle I rendered in blender slowly crawling up 2 pixels over the course of 17 frames.

I'm showing the aliased version first and I'm going to break down what's happening here

hey #PixelArt folks, does anyone know if there's a way in #Aseprite to keep the grid line colour?

Mine resets to the default blue in new files 🤔

now that 1.0's been out for a bit, wanted to share some of my contributions to Hades II!

had the pleasure to work with the team for the past few years - not comprehensive at all but here's a small sampler of icons and small illustrations that can be found across the game
