Even something basic like the spraypaint tool can get some really cool textures, or just layering a couple strokes

Once you select your palette gradient, drawing with either the left or right mouse buttons will brighten or darken the area a single shade

I feel like people sleep on the shading ink type in Aseprite.
it's really fun painting, layering multiple tones, getting fun textures as each brush stroke is layered, easily being able to adjust the values of an area
Sometimes I'll make textures with it just for fun

Decided it was time to give some of the BUDD sprites a makeover, to better match how we draw them and to make them a bit more interactive ingame
(Here are some of Boxer's)

Also did a front facing sprite, didn't use it because her standing around next to enemies didn't really make sense

Bonus NTSC version just for fun, also a look at the palette itself. I actually did the Samus sprite with her suit being able to change colors in mind.

Been hyperfixated on Metroid again, so wanted to try spriting a mockup of a Metroid game as if it were on the Sega Genesis. 4 palettes with 16 colors each (including transparency)

Silly retro ARPG type thing I've been messing with in Godot
Another one of those things where I don't know how much I want to do with it, especially since we should probably be working on BUDD still

This is the only real art we have of that pre-BUDD period, but it's funny to think that this is probably the first version of Eris

Random fun fact, I made Eris as a green haired swordsman for a scrapped fantasy RPG idea before repurposing her for the more Sci-Fi style take that the RPG version and Classic went with
Wanted to try a modern take on that idea based on her current design 👀

One problem I'd like to figure out someday is a system for writing variable width text, I think that'd look much nicer than using a tile-based font, and could fit a lot more text onscreen.
A lot of games do this by reserving a space for the textbox tiles and drawing each glyph manually

We were messing around with Genesis homebrew via SGDK a year or so ago, trying to play around with our own little text/script formatting system. This wasn't going to turn into an actual game but it was fun to mess with

Note that since most project editing is done *in* Game Maker, you shouldn't ever have to worry about capitalization, since it's all handled by game maker.
in theory. ideally. most of the time.

Trying to experiment with Game Maker on linux again
Once again reminded how annoying it is that Windows and Linux handle case sensitivity in different ways
...and how sometimes Game Maker just doesn't care????
