20 hours of my life for one tiny game scene. To some it sounds crazy, but this was my most daunting endeavor yet. It's not fully finished and it's far from perfect, but I'm really proud of the result so far. #gamedev #pixelart

@HorrorUntitled Ohhh now I see it! I'm sure in motion it's fine.

[GLOOMSCAN | Making The Hush Man @gloomscangames]

@MakDeetsMuch Amazing stuff! I love this one.

[GLOOMSCAN | Making The Hush Man @gloomscangames]

@Axie_Lotls That's a compliment btw

[GLOOMSCAN | Making The Hush Man @gloomscangames]

@Axie_Lotls Love it! Am I crazy for getting MySims vibes with this?

[The Legend of Monkey Island @legendofmi]

The cover and back cover of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge by Steve Purcell, plus two of his cover concepts.

Which would you have picked for the box: the final cover or one of these?

@MachineHidden Definitely fits your description! And the storytelling is very "Remedy goes to space".

[GLOOMSCAN | Making The Hush Man @gloomscangames]

Not a jab at this game at all, it looks awesome

[GLOOMSCAN | Making The Hush Man @gloomscangames]

What is it about the Hollow Knight art style? I can't put my finger on what makes it so unique that we can recognize it everywhere.

@IIvicecityII Is that Hugh Jackman recording SFX for Logan? lol

[GLOOMSCAN | Making The Hush Man @gloomscangames]

@BilsuArt What a few lights can do to create a vibe will never be understated.

Making trees in pixel art is absolute pain. Might have to buy assets for this cuz this is some bullshit. Any artists good at pixel art trees and foliage? #gamedev #pixelart

[GLOOMSCAN | Making The Hush Man @gloomscangames]

@SanteaguArt Got it! I struggled a lot with the perspective. I'm still open to lowering the houses so that they're closer to the curb, but I also wanted the feel of big lawns in suburbs. I think it's working?
