Been a while! Anyway, got in a bit of a rut with my main project, so decided to start the new year with something fresh to get the creative juices flowing again. All in #aseprite so far, but I think I'll try to turn this into a small game. #pixelart #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Updated one of my #pixeltober2022 images from last month. Widened the aspect ratio to get Pittsburgh's numerous bridges / rivers in frame and reworked the reflections and back hills. Adjusted a few colors too. #pixelart #pittsburgh

Still super early with various levels of placeholder art, but there's at least something vaguely resembling a game starting to take shape! #indiedev #gamedev #unity #unity2d

@tinysoulgame Seems like a good plan :)

Just a random #pixelart doodle. Who is this guy? What is he doing? I have no idea, but I like how the rock textures came out.

Snake? Snake!? Snaaaake! #pixelart #animation #aseprite

A cute little rabbit mage for some fun character practice. #pixelart #animation

Anyway, that's a wrap for #pixeltober2022. Its been a blast. Did some wacky stuff, especially in the past few days. Thanks to @PixelDanc3r for running the show and providing the prompt list.

Day 31 - Spooky

Happy Halloween! No music sync'd up to this one, but you get the idea! Used a healthy bit of Unity to do the animations again for this one.

But then I made a sprite sheet of all the bones and just couldn't help myself from importing them into unity and making them dance!

[Kevin Costello @KevinMakesStuff]

Anyway, this was an extremely fun little project to work on today :)

Day 30 - Music

Sound on!!!

Maybe stretching the concept of #pixeltober2022 a bit here, but today I built an interactive piano in Unity that you can play via mouse or keyboard!

Added a fun little visual effect for good measure.

[Kevin Costello @KevinMakesStuff]

Hah. And then because this is the kind of absurd thing that would keep me up at night, had to fix something and re-post. Brittle Hollow clearly wasn't hollow enough in the first version.

Day 29 - Star

Okay, so I spent a lot of time on this one, but this world is just so wonderful that every pixel felt full of joy. I felt like I was doing an Outer Wilds Lego set and I regret nothing!

Happy Halloween! There's some spooky creatures down in the depths. Don't worry though, the O.R.B. unit is not edible :) See if you can find them by playing Project O.R.B. at https://t.co/lRVCGXEpVD
