samurai gunn 2 will probably be our team's last pixel art game even though we have the best art team in the entire world because it is literally impossible to get funding for a game with this art style while default unity shader games get greenlit for 5 million dollars. yeah i'm salty about it fuck you

Opening a few slots for commission work while I await my next contract/wait for the folks on my waitlist to get back to me!

FORM: https://forms.gle/J7tpaUCmkY2txW867

And below are some examples of my work. Boosts are appreciated!

#commissions

Listen, I've had a go at being an adult for over 25 years, which I think is giving it more than a fair chance. But now I really need to know what my other options are, please and thank you.

New version of NEXXT published. And with it, i've decided to host it on itch. Free to use & public domain.

I make nearly all my NES graphics in it.

It's definitely a little weird how player pianos (the kind you'd find in the corner of a saloon in a cowboy movie) are the cause of so much of modern copyright law being the way it is.

hi friends, I'm maruki, a very pixel artist and animator
I'm having a hard time with housing costs, so I'm opening extra commission slots to help me with them
DMs are open. Prices are negotiable.

Ken Hultgren, the author of my absolute favourite drawing how-to book, "The Art of Animal Drawing." He was also an animator for Disney in the 40s/50s.

His ability to show form and anatomy in such quick, gorgeous ink sketches have been so inspiring to me my whole adult life.

this is taking its sweet ass time

#GodotEngine boids! They actually woik!

I haven't implemented direction aligning yet, but I have noticed two things:

1) No alignment is a great way to get behavior that looks like a piranha swarm in a feeding frenzy once a critical mass of boids is in a group.

2) Spontaneous order can still emerge as demonstrated by the smaller group which settled into a slowly rotating equilateral triangle.

I hiked to see the waterfall.

Sekrit Game Dev Project update:

A* pathfinding and move queues implemented. So the character can be moved with WASD/controller directly, or tap/left click to move them.

Favourite item from the Godot 3.5 changelog. Many thanks to @alfredbaudisch! https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/63344

* reliable collision system
* rle compressed level loading
* basic physics

still needs doing:
* add enemies and other non-player objects
* add a bunch of different tiles with different effects
* menuing
* failure
* more abilities for the player to use

* speedrun timer
* other things i'm sure

Really excited for the Lord of the Rings prequel series to finally answer all my big backstory questions, like "why was meat originally taken off the menu?"

We board the dead space hulk. It’s been lifeless for centuries. We start replacing corroded cabling to get life support functioning. Then we restore communications.

There’s a final unsent message in the buffers. We put it on screen.

From: Chief Engineer Nani, Cargo Vessel Akkadia
To: Copper merchant Ea-nasr, New Ur
Subject: Complaint about quality of copper in new CO₂ scrubbers

We turn the screen off. It’s a tale as old as time.
