I haven't had work in months.
I'm a good art director, expert pixel artist, and although I prefer to do art, I can also make entire games from start to finish if necessary, as pictured. Not the greatest coder, but I get the job done (like Chapell Roan I guess).

please share

Support Foone Turing โค๏ธ Become a supporter of Foone Turing today!

So I'm 1600$ away from being able to pay my rent. I'm trying to take care of a household of 6 people, only two of who can work right now, and with my longterm illness, I'm just not able to make rent this month, as a bunch of unexpected costs hit right in a row.

I love it! I generally stay away from single pixels, they are usually noise or, in the case of antialiasing, blur

The Top Five Movie-est Movies Ever Videogameโ€™d Do you remember Movies? Yโ€™know, โ€œMoviesโ€? Capital โ€œMโ€ Movies? Cinema? The confluence of โ€œhigh artโ€ and โ€œlow artโ€ that our collective culture once agreed was the most important form of entertainmentโ€ฆ

I did a list of "film class ready" movies that for some reason got made into video games. I also did my own pixel art of a hypothetical SCUMM Night of the Living Dead game that someone could make real? @freakzonegames.bsky.social @johanvinet.com @castpixel.bsky.social ? maxutmost.com/the-top-five...

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.

I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.

If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

Isometric pixelart illustration for Minecraft, while I was working at Mojang. This is meant to show off the world and it's thrills. It lives in the how-to-play section in-game

A decent feature of my work in GBstudio magazine

It's been a while since I talked in-depth about the thing I've spent 20 years of my life doing professionally; namely pixelart .

I wonder if there are any gamedev outlets that would have me

Tropical waters in 3 lines of code with no shader.

I'm just making the UVs (just the U actually) a function of mesh point elevation. The higher the elevation, the more the mesh takes its texture from the right side of the image.
