Been messing around with a classic Solitaire weapon for my desktop survivors-like. I'm thinking the more you upgrade it the longer it gets 🃏

Been working on an experimental survivors-like that takes place on your desktop. It's called Desktop Survivors 98. Planning to release a demo soon. ⚔️

@nebulousflynn @aseprite Oops my bad! Thanks for the heads up, totally forgot about that. If I do more posts with models I'll be sure to double check this and give attribution where needed 👍

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

Made some huge progress on my illegal 3D @aseprite plugin. Added a UI, extra texture maps, animation baking, dithering, different camera modes, and a few other things. 🐶

@SnailMailCorp @aseprite So far just .obj, but I'm planning on adding more file types before I release the first version 👍

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

@TTV_cyboiii Yup! I'd imagine artists/devs could use it for easily exporting sprite sheets of models or even using the models as references for their own pixel art. Essentially, I want to provide a new avenue for a 3D to 2D workflow😊

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

@lancelot_game @aseprite Thanks! I'll definitely be releasing it (hopefully sometime next week). Will most likely just release it open source on git with an easy installer :)

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

@rektadult @aseprite Just cause it's traditionally a 2D pixel art program lol

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

@LvsProd @aseprite SOON

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

I've been playing around with a custom 3D renderer system in @aseprite :) Do any pixel artists have features they'd like to see?

@Knola_WT @aseprite So far I only have it setup with .obj but .fbx and .dae are the next on my import implementation list! I would LOVE to have optional lighting settings in the UI too for changing color and direction.

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

@gamedev_hatt @aseprite Those all sound like amazing ideas! Painting the textures directly on the model was actually my first idea with this project so I'm gonna try to make it happen :)

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

@MiggyLazania That's the plan! I also really want to add an animation lerper so states of it's transform can be easily baked into the timeline

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

@cookiedraggy @aseprite I'mma just turn aseprite into a game engine 😆

[Brandon Hesslau @BHesslau]

@shidygames @cod31n3 @aseprite I mean... that'd be pretty neat 👀
