I’m Rob. I play video games, then I make slightly worse versions of them.

If that sounds cool, play them here: http://pixelpun.com

Pinned
This was pinned on my X account, so I wanted to pin it here also.

One of the best game jams on Itch, it's really nice to use someone else's assets so you can focus on pure game design, it's the whole reason I joined, also the Kenney assets are awesome.

It's awesome when your X account gets hacked after you trade your iphone back to Apple for a new one and you think the data is wiped... only get get banned from X for "inauthentic activity" with zero way to appeal because it's all run by AI.

Meanwhile.... someone still wants in.

The first boss fight I've ever designed.... it's pretty chaotic right now :P Trying to find the balance between chaos and the puzzles... lol

Also commissioned my first piece of music from @jetdarc.bsky.social Dude is amazing at what he does.

Really excited to work on my game this year :)

I couldn't. help myself, I had to make it look good. Now has 100% more cats :P

Will probably change on the final release, but this will be good for the demo.

Putting together the assets again to remake the Kenney game jam game and get it ready for Steam NEXT fest, just not sure which one.

The demo will add secrets and a boss to the game, that hopefully will be a good representation of the final game.

I've been stressing about a menu in my game for a awhile now, just today decided to do it 😜 Wasn't that bad, not sure what I was worried about 😅

I really want to make it cool and pixelated to match the game, but... that saying about making it exist first... or something.

Never built an options menu for any of my games before :P Was surprisingly easy to get the windowed and fullscreen options working... hopefully the music and effects volume sliders are the same :P

This is something I've been scared to work on forever :P

Working on my first real boss fight design :P

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I like where it's going so far. I've had the idea for awhile now, it's neat to try to make it.

Trying to finish this game up... It's been on the back burner forever, just a 2D walking simulator I'm going to post on itch.io

I started mixing the trixel style graphics I made 10 years ago with some 2D pixel graphics.

I always try to finish up old projects in December for some reason. This one has been on my plate for a long time. Just a remake of one of my first games. I did come in 3rd place at Ludum Dare 29 for my artwork in this one.

I'm not sure if I'll use it or not, but I really like the chain physics, if I can add it to NEXIFY in a way that would work I think it looks better then what I had before.

I'm decent at pixel art, but for some reason I find the 1-bit types really hard to create myself, I think it's why I love the Kenney 1-bit pack.

I'm trying to add my own art on top of what Kenney did for my game, but I'm doing a terrible job at it :P

I might end up just combining, idk :/

I think it's time we use AI for what it was actually meant for.

Bringing back the glory days of the Sega CD and 3DO with hokey full motion video for video games :D

The possibilities are endless.

I really like making cool transitions between the title screen and starting the game, I think this was one of my better attempts.

Although he does sorta drop like a rock :P

New website is coming along :) First time I'll have a cohesive look to everything in a long time.

Pretty trash. I had over 3k followers on #X. All I did was post about my video games, and I rarely posted to begin with.

I traveled from South Korea where I live, to the USA, while in the USA I bought a new iphone and traded in my old one, apparently this pinged my account as "inauthentic"

My only goal when making Between Two Worlds was for people to play it and have fun... It was very neat that someone made a video playing it :)

Dear Princess a cozy game about writing a nice letter to a sick princess. The first cozy game I have ever attempted to make. Was a fun little project, although I did miss on it looking like an NES game :P More like an SNES game
