This one hits hard...

#RIP Catherine O'Hara

Thanks for all the laughs, we will miss you dearly.

😢

First pass at animated walk.
Have to clean up the pixles from the part repositioning plus a couple tweaks, but he's walkin'. 🚶

Will probably toss it in to #Godot before the clean up to see how it works.

One step at a time... 👀 *pun intended

#GameDev #PixelArt #Animation #Aseprite

It's alive! Bwah-haha...

Erm, well basic breathing at least.

Seperated the model's pieces and imported them into #Aseperite to start the basic animation sets, then normals mapping for simulated lighting, and some clothing... 👀🚀

Platformer survival, underground base building and above world exploration, with a twist... in a nutshell.

Good Mornin' Peeps!

I finished up the base male body this morning.
Today is going to be getting the base structure for the 8 frame walking animation.

I will need to make a back view, but luckily I dont need full rotations, so that will save a bunch of work... whew!

😂😂🤣

Threw the character test into the game and realized I calculated the height wrong, lol. He is about 40% too short...

Ah well, least I know before I did too much.

It's a small game anyways, haha...erm, ahem 😒

Another process post.

Experimenting with a 3 colour cell shader visual style.
I need to do proper colour palette and tone down the muscles some, but its a concept anyways and will be in greyscale for ingame skin colour selection, plus swappable heads for customization.

Once step at a time.

Refining the rag doll!

That is all.

You may now return to your previously scheduled programming...
🤘
#PixleArt #GameArt #GameDev

This morning's project... a basic 2D ragdoll to make an animation walk template and and get some basic movement into game. I will work on actual character designs later.

Off to runs some errands!

A few tweaks done to the tile maps after seing it in engine to remove visible seams but overall I am happy with the shapes.

Now on to some rendering!

#GameDev #GameArt #PixelArt #Art #Affinity #Artist

Today is playing around with a seamless background for the underground world where tiles are dug out. Top and fill tiles with a couple varients to break things up. Am going to pop into the game engien to make sure it works before rendering it out.

😀😃😄😁🥰

2D game tileset, seamless dirt texture

My previous tilesets for stone and dirt did not work the way I wanted with shaders in game for day/night, so new approach! I am much happier with how this one worked out, so lost time but lesson learned and experience gained. 🎨👍🍻

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.

Here are the words she left behind:

This means so much to me, as First Aid was my first LCS and the place I would pop into every week when I first started reading comics. James and his staff are exceptional and this is such a cool moment- I hope you can join me for it!

My first book signing ever! Chicago folks- when you're out and about in the midst of Chanukah/Christmas/Winter Solstice/etc. stuff on Saturday, December 20, swing by First Aid Comics in Hyde Park and say hi! Books will be available for purchase and chatting #AlphaFlight with me is free!

For the last three days I have been experimenting and figuring out a way to do a #2D #pixleart dirt style that I like, I think I finally figured it out.

Though it is going to be a pain in the ass to make the full tileset.

🫤

I haven't posted in a bit, lots of life stuff going on... lots of ups and downs, but I have still been picking away at things between it all.

Started on the first set of seamless #autotile #tilemap #2D #GameArt this evening.

Only 45 tiles left to go 😬

Thank you for the honest-to-goodness proof it can be delivered to Canada safe and sound- and probably in better shape than if it had arrived via omnijet. And all credit to @inkboardstudios.bsky.social for that cover- he did a WONDERFUL job.

Crazy excited to dig into @maconfleetwood.bsky.social ‘s new book on my favourite Marvel super-team Alpha Flight! I know Daryl picked Barnes & Noble specifically because they shipped to Canada and here is your proof! Gorgeous cover!

🇨🇦 It’s publication day! Use the link below to order your copy of TRUE NORTH and join me in revisiting the glorious first volume of #AlphaFlight! 🇨🇦

I’m incredibly proud of this book and can’t wait for you to read it!

Yes!
I got it just before we left town, and it looks amazing!
Perfect timing.

You put so much work into it! I can not wait to read all 500+ pages when we get back.

I sincerly thank you for letting me be part of this #AlphaFlight project, and making one of my dreams come true.

🍻

"Uncanny Experience," an immersive X-Men convention, lands at Minneapolis Club this weekend, where program manager Daryl Lawrence will debut "True North," a 512-page reference guide to Canadian superhero series Alpha Flight. And yes they really did save my sanity*: www.twincities.com/2025/07/10/u...

It was a very emotional time in Alpha Flight history to draw inspiration from.

It honestly was a dream come true to be able to take part in creating this homage to one of my most beloved titles.

❤️

No I definitely did not intend to... 😬

I need to get some bot repelant now.

That needs to be on a shirt...

What am I looking for the most in Dune Awakening: Honestly the general world survival and class combinations. Having the map change every week sounds like a perfect way for us survival players to keep fresh play for a long time.
