My red scarf actually originates from this #gryphon I made named Silver Windstreak. I imagined the scarf being a symbol of his clan, and after doing a quest for him, he gives Hunter one, which opens up new areas in the gryphon lands.

Pixel art of a blue jay/tiger gryphon wearing a red scarf. Above row has him without wings, below has with wings, open and closed. Right side includes tail feathers.

I really like how Hunter looks in my scarf, but if I give him one, I'm worried people will mistake him for my shadewing form. I suppose I could retire the shadewing altogether and just be my squirrel.

Pixel art of Hunter Shadewing. Teal feline with gray mane, green eyes, silver bangles, and red scarf.

The design I'm running with currently for #KyrodianLegends #GUI.

#OpenGameArt #FOSS #OpenSource #GameDev #LibreGame #FOSSgaming #PixlArt #GameArt #Art
A video game UI that uses a copper palette because the world is a Miyazaki-inspired dieselpunk one. Instead of showing who you're playing as, the portrait box shows your alternate character, since hot swapping will be a feature. The boxes below show your equipped moves. The round bars are for visually-impared players so they don't have to look up at the corner and away from the character to see their stats.

Did some baking last night. Excited to take this to the furmeet and see what they all think. Sadly I couldn't find actual caramel at the store and had to use caramel syrup. Next time...
Pumpkin cheesecake with caramel sauce drizzled on top.

Made #colorblind versions of my map tiles for #KyrodianLegends. The tiles are meant to appear hand-drawn, since Midi manually draws them in his journal instead of having a scanner record them for him.

Mini map tiles for Kyrodian Legends. Special icons are below. Mini map pixel tiles. Each color has a different texture for colorblind players.

How about this?
Narrower logs used as steps. The gaps are meant to show they aren't solid, but still keep steps visibly shorter.

Debating which staircase style to use. These are inspired by spiral stairs people do in #Terraria. The first one has more reasonable step heights, but looks kinda busy, and could be mistaken for a solid wall. Any thoughts?

#PixelArt #OpenGameArt #GameDev #IndieDev #SuperTuxAdvance #FOSS #Linux #nwn
A curved staircase with every other step being dark. Each step is about one foot tall. Curved wood stairs with gaps. Each step is about two feet tall.

Did some optimizations and now working on replacing all the trees currently in the game. This new texture makes making them soooo much easier.
#GameDev #OpenSource #OpenGameArt #GameArt #PixelArt #LevelDesign #FOSS #Linux #SuperTux #SuperTuxAdvance #Squirrel
A tree made from my new tileset. An interior of a giant tree with spiral log staircases and rooms. Midi is standing on one of the stairs. Current progress on my tree tileset. Leaves on the left and wood on the right, with background variants below. Some gaps exist to add variations and props, and keep the main terrains evenly spaced.

Screenshot from the Naked Gun with Police Squad being taken over by Spirit Halloween. In the foreground, a man holding stuff from his office looks at his phone.

Ported over the #leaves from the old set. Keeping them cuz I made those from scratch. Also made lots of variations and added some more #wood. #PixelArt #OpenGameArt #OpenSource #SuperTuxAdvance #FOSS #GameDev #GameArt
Pixel tree tileset with leaves on the left half and wood on the right.

So I realized I didn't have the author of my #tree #tileset in my credits file, and when I went to look for them, they were gone from #OpenGameArt, so since i can't credit them, I'm gonna replace it. Here's the first few of my new #wood tiles. Using #24x24 so I can make the leaves bushier. #PixelArt
Pixel art wood tiles.

Has anyone noticed the guy playing Jim Kirk looks like Jim Carrey and the guy playing Sam Kirk looks like Sam Rockwell?

Here's a preview of how he looks. At this game's resolution, only his chest-up can be seen. Might have a move that reveals the tum. X3

Pixel art scene of Tux and Surge against the giant wolf boss.

Since the original uses Rayman hands, I'm just gonna do the same, but with big soft bappers. Easier to animate, more versatile, and closer to the original. Also thinking after he smacks the ground and you jump onto his paw, if you stand on it too long, he tosses you in the air and tries to eat you.
Incomplete pixel art of a wolf paw at different angles.

I had considered that, since that's what the original does, and this is what he looks like with arms (no paws yet).

Alright, now I just gotta give him arms! I'm thinking about breaking them up into separate ovals for fill and outline, then draw the outline before the fill so that on screen, it looks like a single sprite. Then the hands will go on top.

Working on a reinterpretation of the wolf boss from #OpenSurge, with my version of Surge the Rabbit next to him. My Surge is actually smaller than the original, so that makes the wolf appear even bigger. The right image is how the wolf's original sprite looks.
#PixelArt #FurryArt #OpenGameArt
A work-in-progress of the wolf boss from OpenSurge in my own style. The neck fluff is unshaded and the head is still a sketch. Surge the Rabbit is in the corner for scale. The original giant wolf sprite from OpenSurge. The head frames are on the left, and the body is in the middle, with an assembled preview on the right. Near the hand is an impact special effect.

For my items collection, I'm working on apparel now, and I added a cosplay set to look like Tux!

Parts of a costume looking like Tux, including a penguin hood, shirt, pants, and slippers, with Tux the Penguin on the right for comparison.

Made some new furniture and item icons for them! Maybe someone will use them in a survival game. ;3 Also attempted to add tile flipping to my engine, but it's not working great, so I'm gonna need some help on that. XP

So "confession" equals "cooperation"? Are we charging people with "resisting accusation" now?
HEADLINE: Kirk Suspect 'Not Co-Operating' With Authorities, Governor Says SUMMARY: Charlie Kirk's alleged killer is "not co-operating" with authorities and has not confessed to carrying out the shooting, Utah's governor Spencer Cox has told US media.
