Humble reminder that growth happens over a long period of time.
Our artist had zero experience working with pixel art when we started.
He learned the foundations, refined techniques, made it his own, and gave that to Fretless.
Proud to share that his efforts have earned us a nomination!

When we say Fretless took 8 years, we really mean it took 8 years to find. Many games were started/abandoned.
Gameplay from 2019 shows our first level “The Mine” where Rob searched for magical ore to upgrade his Shovel Guitar!

When we started Fretless, Unity did not support aseprite files—it does now 🙏
We found amazing 3rd party tools which afforded rapid iteration of animations and tile maps.
