Updated pinned post as there's so many new faces here so hello everyone!
I'm Chappu and I'm a solo dev working on a handpainted third person horrorgame about an all girls ghost club.
This is what it currently looks like in engine and below you'll find my gamedev recap of everything I've made so far

I'm romanticizing being creative to a point that it makes me feel like I don't belong cause I will never be creative in the way I imagine other people to be.
I feel like a machine when I make art but I want to feel whimsy and magic and free.

A fun thing about game dev is that if have a dream about a stone chicken you can just put the the stone chicken in your game. It's real now

Doing some standalone renders of various Forbidden Solitaire characters for my GDC talk and honestly these are such a vibe. Part of me wants to make a 90s-style strategy guide using these.

Day 05 of environment studies was my favorite but I broke most of the rules I had set for myself.
Rules:
1 h time limit - took 2h 3min
no layers - easily 30+ layers
no color picking from the ref image - did that at least twice

Heading to bed soon. Hell of a year so far!
This pixelart "update" will be a bit redundant, but in the previous ones, it's been scaled out workspace stuff. These are all the assets I have made so far for my gamedev project in a tidier, digestible format. A small 🧵 for a sec, I got stuff to say.

I started my environment studies this week and damn it's by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
My brain is abysmally bad at trusting the process so painting was 95% my brain screaming at me to stop.
Gotta persevere though.
The 2D backdrops I hope to make for my game won't paint themselves🫠

#artvsartist for 2025: 💜
Started with a big #pixelart commission project followed by 6 months of #gamedev as I learned #gamemaker programming and rebuilt 60% of demo systems for #Moonshell_Island. A challenging but satisfying year of growth for me. 💪🦀

These are way more fun to make than they have any right to be.
In theory I only need to make 4 horrors to test the game with these new assets but in practice I could see myself making the whole set.
When I get to the star crowned king I'm pinning it!

More playing with Mega Voxels and this time it's a rendition of #CurtainsTheClown by @grimclownjay.bsky.social. I might try this again when I have more experience because Curtains is from a great game by a great dev and if I can do better I will!

I should start studying anatomy cause I still don't know how to draw arms.
On the flip side though I had to make her base more buff cause I was close to matching last year's wip version of her irl.
Also look at her dino shirt🦖

Hi #pixelart! It's always the most simplest of shapes, at the lowest canvas sizes, that really screw me up lol. The many many attempts at making readable bones. I also went ahead and made another "unique" cookie for the practice. So I have two more. Not sure how I feel about the bone I settled on.

Happy Saturday! Check out www.makealotlmusic.com this weekend to play some music learning games such as Note Nab, shown in the screenshot. It plays like a game, not like work. Pass it on to a parent or teacher in your life. #indiegame #videogame #music
