Added some pixel art VFX to my game. I didn’t know you had to literally code EVERYTHING in gamedev. Even small stuff like this needs its own code.

Mark Moxon has been throughly documenting the source code of the various versions of the original Elite.

elite.bbcelite.com

I think at this point the game may be one of the most throughly documented games of all time.
Fully documented source code for Elite on the 6502 (BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Commodore 64, NES)
Fully documented source code for Elite on the 6502 (BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Commodore 64, NES), with more than 100 deep dive articles explaining how every aspect of this iconic game works.

Some demo tiles for a platformer game, distance hazed background layer and subtle skyline. I like the sprite and the platform tops on this one.

Should this become a game I ask?

Made a hacky little Godot utility that lets me render *any* Control in 3D. And because the Godot editor is itself a Godot game, I can make 3D versions of the editor's own tabs... in the editor. 🤣🤣🤣 I love this engine so much!

My Metroid pixel art

I like the quiet, lonely vibes of mysterious, abandoned space stations
