I’m glad, I was just kinda wingin’ it but I thought she might be fun.

thank you!

For these large scale portraits specifically I draw with Clip Studio Paint, convert it messily with PixelOver, and then work in Pyxel Edit. In general, I just use Pyxel Edit for my everyday any pixel drawing need.

I don’t think anyone thinks 4:3 was that bad, it’s just being used as a precursor/setup for “stop recording in vertical!!”

no no that’s fine! I was wondering if it was that. I like having it being a matte material without shines, but if it’s causing confusion, I can try and fix this.

Which parts are the ones causing confusion to the overall image?

Hashtags exist for that purpose. You can follow them to be put into your home feed. As well, if you use the advanced web interface (like tweet deck), you can create a column with modifiers. Such as, I have a column that searches for both #pixelart and #lowpoly, but excludes posts with #NSFW or #Lewd, as well as #Pokemon (because I have a separate column for pokemon pixel artwork & lowpoly specifically)

I have heard misskey and calckey have a sort of trending feed, but not quite algorithmic, but unsure completely.

Thank you!

I wish people could enjoy this without the dumb meme. It’s very adorable.

Yeah! They don’t have to compete, they can all have their little different ways of doing things. Should probably crosspost more, I will try and do that when I can.

I followed a lot of gamedev subs and also have my own so I’m going to confuse where I am, heh.

If you find a jam (there’s a fedi jam somewhere) you can always make a looking from group post! I think, not sure about this community exactly.

Oh that’s so wonderful! Great job!

That sounds about right, the MMO game ideas was in my upper teens. And yeah, it seems fedi in general is older.

I used to have a dream game when I had lots of free time and played a lot of MMOs. There’s a lot of systems I wanted, and to be something you could be on all day. Don’t get me wrong though, I in no way had delusions that I was gonna make an mmo.

A combination of getting responsibilities and learning more about game dev made me realize you don’t need an All game, the perfect dream one, when it would be better served to have multiple smaller and more focused games for the concepts you want to explore.

There are lots of small games I’m envisioning, but they start to get really complex while planning them so I haven’t quite got there yet.

My first game doesn’t really exist anymore. All that exists is a gif. As in, it was so small and very tiny that a gif can display the whole thing. I used phaser because I didn’t know any other languages besides javascript, and it was pretty awful. My friend did the art and talked about ideas. What was made was basically a prototype of some kind of gameplay, but it’s really not much. I…didn’t learn a whole lot. It was for the ludum dare that’s theme was ‘sacrifice’.

So we make Sacrifice Quack. I enjoy it only because the duck getting chucked chaining effect is very funny lol.

It’s been a bit, but when doing game jams I shuffled working alone and working as a team. It seems duos are the best options for me, but solo is okay. It’s just solo I get a little bit bogged down into doing the art and making it look nice instead of letting things be ugly first. If I’m working with an artist, things seem to go smoother because I can work on programming. 3 - 4 people on a very small game is too much, but obviously this is just jams and not something larger.

These are new, but there are other things listed here that seem new/not used yet so why not.

I have gamedev at !gamedev@crystals.rest, which is aiming to be both progress, idea, team collecting, and classifieds.

There is also pixel art at !pixel_art@crystals.rest, which isn’t much different than lemmy’s, but allows artists to list that they are taking commissions.

In the same vein, I have lowpoly at !lowpoly@crystals.rest, also posting work but able to list commissions.

The only thing I really got news wise of the update is that there’s cherry blossoms, but it doesn’t feel very new because modpacks have pretty much always had some version of the trees in there. Glad it’s official, at least.
