Happy New Year all! 😄

I've been prototyping a cozy pixel art colour by number game!

It may be my next-next game, the ambition would be to collab with pixel artists and other games, so the catalogue of art is a celebration of pixel art and games!

Here's a preview of one of the bosses in Exo-Calibre!

It's a flaming mechanical heart with tentacles! It's one of my favourites in the game! 👾🔥

Earlier this year a made a small tool for beginner game devs and artists to help with colour palette creation!

You can even import palettes, see how they're made, and edit them!

A quirk with a bunch of old games is the inclusion of a "Warning" message and siren before a boss fight!

You see it a lot in shmups and I've always thought they were neat, so I've included them in Exo-Calibre! ⚠️👾

Exo-Calibre features an upgrade shop between levels!

You can spend scrap earned from enemy drops and bosses to level up your weapon, HP, and speed!

The shop is ran by a shopkeeper named Vita!

I didn't mention the name of my new game in my last post! It's called Exo-Calibre!

The game will feature 6 playable characters including Takotan, the protag of my last game! 🐙⭐

For my first post here, I've decided to share an exclusive first look at a new shoot 'em up I've been working on for the last 4 months!

I don't post about the things I work on often, but I definitely feel more comfortable posting stuff here!
