I accidently built a PixelArt-Editor into my #Indiegame and drew a Charmander because people in my Stream challenged me to do that...

Just a normal day as a #gamedev ... xD

Since many people asked:

I use @aseprite for my Pixelart Assets and I can not recommend it enough <3
You can find the game here :)

How do you start drawing pixel art? a beginners guide.

Thread! 🧵
#pixelart Image
The first really important thing before you learn pixel is to know the basics of geometry and perspective. for this i recommend the 100 box course. its free. and VERY good. however it takes a very long time to finish and a LOT of practice
after you know the basic shapes and perspective. start practicing on pixel art. i suggest a mouse but a pen can work too. practice basic geometry. so squares. perspective lines etc on pixel

🚨 ATTENTION ALL #pixelart CREATORS: 🚨

It has come to my attention to all of you that @skeddles has clearly decided to block me on purpose FOR NO REASON, after called out his use of A.I. as a way of touching up his pixel piece right here... like the scathing coward he truly is: ImageImage
Here was my original message, and I tried to be nice as I was only making a brutally honest declaration that I AM *NOT* GONNA USE A.I. AT ALL in any of my works, even in my pixelart going forward, too.

Was that too damned much to ask, @skeddles!?! 😡

Seriously, 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐔𝐂𝐊 is wrong with him!?

Even after all I have been through for the past 5+ years in supporting him and his site @LospecOfficial in inspiring you people with my own palettes since 2017-18, going ALL THE WAY BACK to my dearest, #AAP64 palette, too: ImageImageImageImage

Absolutely painful. 🤮💔

If I wanted to create any artwork period, I WOULD NOT EVEN REMOTELY USE A.I. to as a crutch for improving or making any so-called ‘touch-ups’ to any work to make it ‘bEttER’... 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫. Pixel art or otherwise.

I am going hand-made entirely. NO AI.
I am *not* saying it to be rude at all. Rather, I am saying it with the honesty of all of my heart, even if what I say can be brutal to swallow at times.

That is indeed why when I create my artworks, I make it all 𝟏𝟎𝟎% 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐃𝐄 from start to fucking finish. Period.
The same goes for when I create my own pixel-art as well, because if you want to know the truth, ALL A.I. ‘aRt’ DISGUSTS ME. Period, final... since it is all ‘built’ precisely off the backs of stealing art and its resources from the original creators in the first place.

As all of us head right into the #NewYear2023 together, ladies and gentlemen, I will reflect us back on my first FIVE (5) years on Twitter in regards of my own limited-color #pixelart palettes that I created during that time, from #AAP64 (2017) to #DGA16 (2022). 😊💖

🧵 (01/12)
October 10, 2017. The day that when I signed onto Twitter myself for the very first time, I immediately launched my very first-ever palette weighing in at just 64 colors.

It was called #AAP64, and it was a HUGE runaway success on my first three (3) days on Twitter!!! 🤯

(02/12)
Immediately riding the tsunami of sheer success on Twitter indeed, I forwarded ahead with my first 16-color palette that I had made that same 2017 year called #AAP16, which was simply designed for beginners who want to get their feet wet in the world of pixel artistry...

This is how I generated 180 #pixelart flowers (16 types, one consistent style) in 20 min.

This 🧵is also a @Scenario_gg run-through (web app) - with the prompts I used and the step-by-step workflow.

Reach out for any questions.

#StableDiffusion #AI #AIart #Gaming #GameAssets
I started from a (royalty-free) dataset available on #Craftpix, with 10 images of pixelated flowers (such as the ones below).
Since the dimension of each image was only 32 × 32, I upscaled them 16x using @LospecOfficial, to get 512× 512 images.

Here's a before/after comparison.

Each image was sRGB / 8-bit.

I kept the grey background this time (I often remove it otherwise).

Fondos para una aventura gráfica. SE SALE. Me flipa tantísimo que me dan ganas de ponerme manos a la obra. Entonces recuerdo la novela y los muchos caldos que ya estoy sorbiendo... jeje.

How I made an infinite world for my 3D Pixel Art game!

A thread 🧵#indiegame #pixelart #gamedev
Each chunk consists of 9 quadrants.
If the camera is in the middle one (5), nothing has to happen since the main chunk covers the whole camera view.
However, this changes once the player starts moving to the outside of the chunk -> Image
Now moving to the right, the camera can see outside of the main chunk and we should spawn a new one. We do this on the middle right side of the current main chunk, since the camera is in the middle right quadrant! Image

How I added obstacle avoidance to my game!

A thread🧵#gamedev #indiegame #pixelart
I work with Raycasts, kinda like whiskers.
They make the boat steer the opposite direction when they collide with an obstacle!
Just like for cats it helps with limited vision! (since the boat obviously doesn't have eyes)
The boats avoid each other using the 'boids' algorithm.
There's three simple rules: 1. seperation 2. alignment 3. cohesion.
These 3 make for really cool effects!

How do you design a 2D GAME CAMERA that properly frames the action? A whirlwind tour of different solutions, animated! #pixelart #gamedev

The setup: you've made your platform game's player character and need to make the camera follow them. Easy, right...?
...Well, there's more to it than that. If you just lock the center of the camera to the center of the character, it won't give the player a very good view.

In fact, nearly half of the screen real estate is now dedicated to showing the ground texture... not helpful!
Easy fix: move the camera up a little bit! Now the player can see all of the blocks above, at least. But our work isn't done yet.

For one thing, the camera shows the menacing out-of-bounds void when the player walks near the edge of the map.

How does ROLLBACK NETCODE work, and why is it so difficult to program? A whirlwind tour of different solutions #pixelart #gamedev

The setup: you have a video game with couch co-op (pictured) and want to add online multiplayer. Easy, right...?

(thread)
Well, it's not so simple. If you send each player's button presses over the internet (big arrows), there's some delay due to how far the signal must travel. So the inputs get out of sync between the 2 screens.

Notice that the order of the characters jumping changes.
...This out-of-sync thing is a problem because it can make a player succeed on one screen but fail on the other. A few frames doesn't sound like a lot, but it can be the difference between victory and defeat in an action game.

E.g. Mario gets/misses the coin.

For today's #screenshotsaturday, I want to take you on a trip through memory lane and show off the procedurally-generated planet closeups in Slipways evolved. 🚀
This is how they look today, but we'll be going as far back as 2017 in the🧵below!
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
We're starting in August 2017, when I decided to push #pico8 a bit and make it render a textured planet in 3D.
At the time, I didn't even know if this would work. PICO-8 did not have any texture support back then - I had to do it the hard way, carrying pixels uphill both ways 😤
A few months later, in early 2018, I was working on the #pico8 version of Slipways.
No room for fancy procgen here, so the planets became #pixelart sprites. These humble 9x9 images would define the basic look of the various planet types in every future iteration.

2/7 Overworld Map 🧵✨

I start with a simple map to design the overall flow of an area. I spend a lot of time in this stage thinking through little secrets, puzzles, and enemy placements.

Here's a small snapshot of a couple of zones (click for more if it crops weird)

3/7 Making Art! 🧵✨

Here's that same section, but with some polished art applied to it. The art is all done in 2D, in aseprite (with occasional 3d references done in blender) It's all done by hand without a grid or tilemap, but I do reuse some foliage.
