Animation test for one of the characters in the game @hawkstonegame.com. Walking sequence accounts for walking up, down, left, right, and diagonally up and down. More animation sequences to go, obviously. Jumping, swords, magic etc...

More concept art for @hawkstonegame.com , players will be able to enter dwellings, interact with NPCs to get info, find quests and items. Some houses will be bigger (hell, you may even find a castle)

Concept pixel art for the indie game HawkStone that is currently being developed. This is the inside of a dwelling, with an old worn wooden cupboard in one corner, a bed with a sword on it, a green rug with a wooden table. On the table is some cheese, a potion and a candle. In the other corner is a bookshelf with a skull on it, and an old antique cracked vase. Two characters are in here, one is wearing a brown robe with a belt and black hair, the other a green vest with a hood over their head. The exit/entrance to the dwelling is behind the green hooded character. This is a 2D style pixel top down perspective. Concept pixel art for the indie game HawkStone that is currently being developed. This is the outside of a typical dwelling in the game. The house is in a green field, with a tree to the left, some tree stumps to the sides of the house. The house itself has a wooden thatched roof, and the walls are made of large stone and logs. The door is wooden, and there is a wooden barrel to the front of the house just off to the right. There are a few tufts of taller grass to the right of this house. This is a pixel style 2D top down perspective of the game.

I needed to include some pixel concept art for my game where there's lakes & bridges, other types of plant life, stairs etc. Also wanted to get a feel for what it might look like where scenes pan for a player.

Building a video game means concept art I make also has to include nature, not just houses and man-made (or elf, orc-made?) structures. So things like trees, rocks, tall grass, and brush. Hell, we even have wolves.

Concept pixel art work by GlenCodes of his retro indie RPG game he's making. Here we have grass, trees, a dead tree stump, some tall grass brush clusters, some rocks, two grey wolves wondering around and a human dressed in a green tunic.

New post who dis? Been a minute! Been busy creating lots of pixel assets for the retro indie RPG video game I'm making. Here's the very first "concept" art. It's a top-down view, obviously. Here's some zombies and an orc approaching an unsuspecting adventurer. Do we like?

#indiegame #retrogame
Concept art for GlenCode's retro indie RPG game he's creating. Three drooling zombies and an orc approaching an unsuspecting adventurer who is dressed in green with a hood over his head. The scene has green grass, a wooden fence, a ruin near by and a medieval style house made of wood and a hay roof. There is a wooden barrel, a sword, an arrow and a shield leaning against the house.

I realised pretty quickly while creating pixel assets for my game I’m making that I can only go so far with a mouse. So I got a drawing tablet. Nothing fancy. Just a no name brand and it works perfectly for what I need. The difference is huge.

Just started a YouTube channel for my indie game development journey. I'll be sharing the results video game building tutorials I'm following and eventually sharing my own indie game development here too.

We have combat! It’s not perfect, some bugs to wrinkle out, there’s no reaction to being hit (other than vanishing when dead) but it’s coming along!

I’m going to put knowledge of this 2D pixel game development to good use when I do a real proper game

Next stage of my game tutorial learnings - Monsters programmed to give chase! This is before any combat system is implemented. When the player enters within a certain distance from this slime-goop thingy, it chases the player. Garghh C'MERE rargh.... lemme slime you

Learnt about object collisions with this top-down 2D style game example. It's my hope once I've learnt all this, I'll make my own fully fledged RPG video game (artwork here isn't my own, its from the tutorial, but ill learn pixel art too)

Managed to create the up, down, left, right animation from this godot game engine tutorial. It's for a very short top down rpg style game. Retro look. Neat huh?

I did it! (🔈 sound on to here the SFX) Followed the tutorial the whole day and I have a 2D platform game. Just goes to show it IS possible. The art and music isn’t mine, it was supplied by the tutorial but I can build on the concepts here and make something of my own!

Have a tilemap platform game scene going and the little knight is able to jump around. How cool is that. Theres no reason why I couldn’t make a full 2D platform game. Making great progress here!

Okay the game tutorial with Godot is complete! I kept dying in my game. In defense it's past 2am. Off to bed. Enjoy the final video complete with game music and death sounds!

Another update! Fun game tutorial using the Godot game engine. Now I've got BAD GUYS!!

It's basic sure, it's the tutorial's artwork, but I got the mechanics nailed. The most fundamental of most games - Collision detection and damage.

The more I go, the more I learn. Fun!

I did a thing! Been playing around with game development using the Godot gaming engine. Following a tutorial. Basic but it's helping me learn how to do this cool stuff. Maybe I'll build my own 2D video game with it!
