I used to do pixel art.

I've made some fairly well known assets on itch: arks.itch.io
Pinned
Since I accidentally updated my GameMaker way back my entire project became unsalvageable and I've had to rebuild it in Godot. Damn this engine is nice.

Finally have some time work on it now too, so that is nice.

I get it but I really dislike the "the political climate is tense" phrasing the same way I don't like the "Gaza war" phrasing - we're foregoing that one side is people who want to live and the other side is people who have more power and both the means and intent to destroy and harm.
Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year
Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

I'm giving it a 50/50 on this being Affinity going AI because what the fuck does this even mean. Might as well start looking around for a replacement.

We’re a week away from what seems to be the riskiest, most unique Pokémon game to date.

With Pokémon Legends Z-A’s honed focus on its setting and new combat system, Champions coming, and next year’s anniversary, it feels like the series' possibility space has never been wider.

And thus, the only ones not involved in the plan for Palestine's future are the Palestinians. A genocidal country and its funder decide, to loud applause, that the genocide will go unpunished, the victims unheard, the land stolen, a future in the hands of the perpetrators only.

After relocating in Osaka, we are slowly settling in.
Thankfully the boxes are gone!
Here's a fun #turnbased game #mockup a-la Advance Wars.
I'm having a blast making the art within the #gameboy color's limitations.

Finally played this. Another exceptional Pico-8 game, and really short too!
Trickiest puzzle is the 3-digit code towards the beginning imo, so here's a hint (spoiler): the previous screen made you draw one.
Mouse Required ended up getting 2nd overall and 1st in gameplay in Lowrezjam 2025!

I uploaded a small update that adjusts/adds a few small things

First trailer for "Sekiro: No Defeat" anime series (based on the game).
Glad to see Kenichi Kutsuna as director, Takashi Mukoda as action director, and Yuji Kaneko as art director (among others).
Coming to Crunchyroll in 2026.

Every “free” file converter online = your files sent to some random server.

So I made my own. Runs locally as an app on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Now 1,100 users use it for 3,742 types of conversions.

Birds are a little different to get right, so I will probably have to give this another run at some point. Here is my first attempt at a Blackbird. #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame

Israel assassinates journalists because evil can't stand the truth. Journalist Anas al-Sharif was assassinated with three others in a targeted attack by Israel's genocidal terrorist forces.

Any news media not condemning Israel's continued attack on the press should be understood to be propagandist.

Whatever evil you think of when you think "supreme evil", Israel is worse. To destabilize Gaza, they armed the gangs stealing the UN-supplied aid, blamed Hamas & the UN for the theft, then installed shoot-civilians-testicles-for-points Israeli and US mass-murderers to "run the aid distribution".
