I spent too much time working on these clouds. But they still don't seem quite right.
I am using the #UFO50 palette, so I am limited in the colors I can choose. I can't make it white since the paint is white.
I am sort of trying to emulate these clouds from SMB3.
any advice #pixelart #gamedev ?

Making games is so hard. I have so much respect for any project that was finished.
Currently chugging away at finishing Sky Painters. Co.

October is almost over and I’ve got 5 inkings in so far. More than I have in any other October!
Might quit after October or try to finish all before next October!

Felt good to open a new project after looking at the same one for so long.
Learned a lot but not happy with the final result. It feels more like a prototype than a game.
But well, at least now I have another game to my name!

So much of game design boils down to (i) developing a super clear idea of the game you want to make (ii) having the determination & means to just keep looping through the iteration cycle.

Racing in a parking garage was apparently considered in MarioKart 64 but they couldn't get it to not feel nauseous. Kudos to you for making it feel awesome!

This is my #UFO50 inspired sky painting game (Sky Painters Co.) about painting a given pattern in the sky while fighting off different enemies.
Each day, you have a new pattern to paint while facing a new challenge.

@walaber.com 's Parking Garage Rally Circuit has ruined parking garages for me.
I was driving through a mall spiral parking garage and found myself wishing I could drift into it and then use the boost to make it to the only available spot!
Also, I follow the dev streams which are delightful!

It's so much harder to Sky Paint on a windy day with the cold eyes of the Spikies staring in to your soul.
