fucked up pixel art today again, prolly gonna quit it for a while even bc it tortures me n i fr just plain suck at it. like, even the so-called 'programmer art'. mine's just crappy n no cute at all. will try to think how to convert that game into non-pixel stuff bc i dumbly coded like ~50-fucking-% of it already bc coding is a breeze compared to creating pixel assets in my case. n for non-pixel stuuf all my pre-defined n pre-calculated shit's just not gonna work mostly plus i prolly will rework the whole UI as well. well, no one prepared me that for my asshole brain the hardest part of gamedev will be these fuckign teeny tiny pixel assets, nightmare!

Been a while since I posted to mastodon. I make games now!! This is a project I’ve been working on, it’s a 3d life sim called Kemono Life. Still very early, just in concept stage!

Essentially it’s a life sim that tries to embody a socialist/communal communism economy and game structure, rather than a capitalist one. The goal will be to give agency to the npcs, who will be generated randomly with character customization settings (so you can technically look exactly like them), and they will work with you to build up your community.

The idea is that each character is a nomad, and all real planets have been destroyed. You now simply carry an enchanted object, which can suck you in to your pocket dimension, and this is where you live and thrive. (The object is determined by the type of biome you select to live in)

undecided if I should have options for like. More synthetic bodies, such as ball joint dolls or cyborg/robot skins?

Am barely finding time to draw and it honestly plain sucks. Managed this quick doodle (~1.5 hours), two default Krita pencil brushes - one for bakground and one for the dragon. 'Tis again some concept for one of my characters in the setting where the games will take place. One of the dragons and am no sure if he'll ever be a playable character but might happen. So far he is planned to appear in one of the first games so I must kinda hurry with his concepts lol. Coding is so much easier n faster for me than to draw, all my gamedev stuff is so slow only bc I cant produce all the art for it as fast as I code *sob*

Anyway, need to at least toot this dude bc I doodled him like two days ago but wasna able to find time to get online to show him...
I suck at applying textures to my artworks so I just handpaint it all. Maybe one day I'll learn lol.

Wow, I just got a first-ever purchase on of my games, Mansion Malevolence! Considering the payment for the game is voluntary, it's utterly awesome 😍

Finally found a surfing game that actually respects the craft 🏄‍♂️

Surfers Code by solo dev E Marx is pure physics-based simulation. Every wave different, every session earned. You start wiping out constantly, then slowly learn to read water and carve clean lines.

Between surf sessions, explore a tropical island and meet locals. It's the whole culture, not just the sport.

saw this thingy trending, wanna join. am nervous lol.

am a beginner digital artist (bc drawing only for two years in sum, before used fine arts mediums for a year), solo gamedev (very slow as 'tis just a hobby).

i mainly draw fanart of old games n books, my original characters, gifts for ppl.
am also strongly all things about freedom n all-human rights n stuff, basically am radical anarchist, so i obviously rise these topics in my digital content.

my point on art is that it has no rules n is one of the most subjective things out there so should never be restricted in any ways, 'tis a form of feeling and thinking and expressing oneself.

attached artworks are a WIP of HoMM3 fanart, finished HoMM3 fanart, concept art for my own games (that's a whole setting w lost of mini games planned), unfinished 'meet the artist' sketch. my art can be found under #mastoart on my profile, but 'tis basically a blog w lots of rant n stuff so if u wanna follow just my art, i've Tumblr n am on Krita forum. on Tumblr i almost never post sketches n WIPs but i do occasionally upload them into my sketchbook thread on Krita forum.

Last week, I made a Jetpack Joyride clone for "20 Games Challenge". It lacks some elements (vfx, more coins, robots, etc.) for now. Other than that, what do you think I should include next?
