A preview image of the top-down pixel art tileset. Each tile is 16x16 pixels and it includes: grass tiles, water tiles, rocky cliff tiles, dirt tiles, and standalone assets like: stairs, bridges, stones, twig, mushroom, flower, bush, and tree. The standalone assets have separate semi-transparent shadows next to each.

An example scene made using the top-down pixel art asset pack. A river with rocky banks, the remains of a ruin or elevated cliff area, a bridge spanning the water, a fishing spot, dirt paths, trees, and bushes.

Atop a background of three snippets of island maps is a banner with a green wax stamp of a decorative F.G. The banner reads "Coming soon in Fantastical Geographic..." The maps feature islands with different environments, from forested, to a snowy mountain, and a desert chasm. Central is a square of paper with a heraldic logo reading "Star Trails Sanctuary", and a piece of paper along the bottom reads "Heraldic logo by Alderdoodle - Maps by AP. Cartography"

The next release of Fantastical Geographic is only a couple of days away!! There is honestly so much good stuff in this next issue, and I can't wait for you to see it! πŸ’š

Make sure you're following @fangeo.bsky.social for all the updates!

A square of paper on a dark green background that reads "Ko-Fi Memberships. Support AP monthly at the following tiers: Traveller - Β£1 Explorer - Β£5 Adventurer - Β£8 Head to Ko-Fi to find out more!" Beneath the text are three steaming mugs with different designs. In the bottom right corner of the page is the text "Fun Fact: All members are collectively known as T.E.A Leaves!" In the bottom left corner is a yellow wax seal stamp with the logo of AP. and an orange ribbon with the words "AP. Cartography, ko-fi.com/apmaps"

Made some new art for the KoFi tiers, fully leaning into the whole happy accident that was the tiers creating the acronym of TEA! β˜•

I probably should look into getting myself a map mug...or who knows, maybe making/designing one myself? πŸ‘€ Which of these would you choose?

The Wandering Library: Expanded Edition by AP. A solo journaling game about a travelling library

I’d love to recommend my friend, @ap-cartography.bsky.social, game: Wandering Library!

There’s a simpler version on her profile as well, if you are looking for quicker to learn games.

Yeah! My problem that since I started drawing without an idea, I really struggle giving the character an identity or and lore πŸ˜…

Before leaving, I’d love to thank my friends for motivating me to finish this and for finding bugs while playing with it!

I do have an idea of how to expand this lil’ website, since a friend pointed something out that seemed interesting, but I haven’t come back to it yet. (5/5)

… to imagine what different colours or typings would look on Pokemon.

It was then that I remembered I know how to code, and a couple weekends later, I got this!

Now, I still gotta try drawing the Pokemon I wanted to, but at least I got some code experience out of this! (4/5)

For a week or two I got obsessed with the idea of trying to draw Pokemon, but simply drawing them felt boring, so I wanted to try different colours for them, possibly imagining different types for already existing ones!

But as someone with #aphantasia I was struggling… (2/5)

I don’t think I ever ended up sharing this lil’ project!

pkmn-rng.catoblepon.com

Pushing myself out my comfort zone cuz I was so proud of finishing this.

It’s a simple website where you can see #pokemon sprites (pixel art) and then change (randomly) their colours!

Why? Read the comment! (1/5)

Both of which you can find in my KoFi shop, along with some other maps and little solo RPGs! πŸ’š

I'd love to have a bit more info, but probably overworld! Maybe some city stuff? I don't know if possible, but I'd love to see what you do for city/town stuff!

The solo game is basically exploring a map to find a dragon egg and get it back to your base to raise it! It was quite fun to play ☺️

I have the game (the solo one) if you’d like to try it can bring it next time we meet up!
