The Midnight Token

Weird games for the arcade in your dreams

Currently working on Woodrot

[The Midnight Token @TheNightToken]

You always kept to yourself but now the whole apartment building is floating in the middle of the ocean.
No warning, no flood, and presumably no act of God.
Woodrot is a surreal adventure game where you find yourself entwined in the strange lives of your neighbors.

Early pixel sketch of Kokee's apartment. Throughout Woodrot I really played a lot with perspective and how to represent these living areas in unique ways

The very first sketch of Oswald. I just started drawing a face, didn't realize he'd be old until he was on paper and just went with it.
Typically I like to work with the first ideas

You ever wake up in the middle of the night stumbling through the hall trying to find the bathroom? Half dreaming and half relying on muscle memory to keep you upright?

This is Oswald, the maintenance man.
There are two things every maintenance man must obey.
1. The building is always right
2. By god, you will maintain.

My name is Johnny Clyde. I’m a reclusive artist who reluctantly taught myself a bunch of skills cause I was too shy to ask professionals and now I’m here!

Did you know pixel backgrounds from old pc games were often just computer scanned traditional paintings? After importing, they were then scaled and color limited.

It's really interesting how limitations became a style that is now emulated on purpose #pixelart #gamedevs

@BegTeapart195 You're so right! I didn't even make that connection!

Here's what the inside of my fridge looks like. What's yours?

I still think it needs another pass, but I always find it fascinating what a bit of extra effort can do

It's always important to make sure your pixel animation is on beat!

Hello Neighbors! I’m Johnny Clyde, an artist currently working on a strange little video game called WOODROT about a maintenance man trying to save the world of his neighbors. Expect rough stuff, polished stuff, mindless thoughts and art.
