it took me these many builds to get what I see on itch to be the same as what I see in Unity...

I have tried so many variations at this point...

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 ?

“Deer”

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!

Getting the control flow working for my sky painting game was waaaay harder than I had expected. But it's (almost) working :D

A little late in the night for #screenshotsaturday but that fits the theme of this level with shooting stars in my #UFO50 inspired sky painting game.

I first came across dark levels in #spelunky :D

Did a second pass on the Pimple Popper Enemy!
I really enjoyed pixelling out this new one :)

I'm eagerly waiting for the PGRC DLC! :D

Really looking forward to the new Ska music tracks as well!

Happy #WorldUFODay !
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.

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

Finally took the plunge and studied shaders. Do I unlock an achievement for this?!

Highly recommend @danielilett.bsky.social 's series:

I forgot to add a delay between the shooting and ended up with a scarier attack than I had planned for the PimplePopper.

Should I keep it? 🤔

WIP enemy. I call him PimplePopper!

Currently controlling the shooting myself but will be automatic soon.

And yes, that is the placeholder UFO sprite from #UFO50 :D

I take a lot of inspiraton from that game 💖
Am I making Campanella 4?? 🤔

Just went back to world 2 in @letibus.bsky.social ‘s Lok digital to see if I could use the TA Keyword there (which I “discovered” in World 3)

Turns out it was possible the whole time.

I wonder what other keywords are hidden in plain sight 🤔

Maybe: TADA!

I was today years old when I found out that you can move a gameobject freehand with the little square between the X and Y axis in @unity.com

Till date, I was moving the X and Y axis individually.
