NoJoule

#artvsartist Hi! I'm Julian (aka Nojoule 🪫) Technical artist & game asset creator working mainly with Godot - shaders, VFX and pixel-art Open to freelance and part-time collaborations. #godotengine #gamedev #shader #pixelart #vfx

My first attempt at making something like this. I learned a lot by studying new styles and these micro animations. And of course no AI during the whole process. #pixelart #retroart #commission

Haven't been here in a bit, and I'm sorry about that. But it was for a good reason! SCOPECREEP is now officially coming out November 16th! Tell your friends/parents/lovers/pets! I'm so excited, hope you are too! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #releasedate #incremental

Pixel Trail VFX is a set of shaders for particle trails in Godot with a pixel art style and a utility script for handling and spawning the particles. nojoule.itch.io/pixel-trail-... #gamedev #vfx #godotengine #pixelart

I went on a small side quest making this free (anti) productivity desktop tool in Godot mainly for myself, but maybe some of you would enjoy it too: nojoule.itch.io/pet-timer It can help you by giving you some productivity timers and reminders with cute visual feedback. #indiedev #pixelart

My talk from godotcon is now on youtube 🎉 youtu.be/nMVOVymMRM4 #pixelart #vfx #indiedev #godotengine

Pixel-art tribute inspired by “Biggest Bird - Remembered” by jars.drawings I recreated a scene in my own style in godot using some of my shaders and pixel art. #godotengine #indiedev

A little celebration asset upgrade for reaching 134% !! on my "3D Pixel Style Launch" sale! A new cloud shader to thank everyone that supported me! And since we reached the goal, watch out for some more assets soon! nojoule.itch.io/pixel-sky-3d #godotengine #indiedev #pixelart

95% already and still 12 whole days left on the mini sale... Guess I need to start working on some more with all the fresh inspiration from #godotcon Thank you also for all the support on the open source portals, you are awesome! itch.io/s/183998/3d-... #pixelart #indiedev

Usually I look through most of the accounts that like my posts on here, but I guess I'll have to pause that for my previous one. Over 1000 feels crazy, thank you for all the interest in my vfx!

I added a new shader to my portal asset. Now you can use a texture combined with a mask texture to create more cool portals! nojoule.itch.io/pixel-portals #godotengine #vfx #gamedev #indiedev

First day, first talk at #GodotCon Not sure if I'm more excited or nervous, but I'll be definitely more relaxed for the whole rest of the event! #godotengine #gamedev #vfx

900 hours later ... Game dev is a huge learning journey, and this project taught me alot about polishing and blind spots. The Steam page for Kingdom of Krawall - my minimalist take on a 4X game - is finally live. store.steampowered.com/app/4502550/... #gamedev #indiedev #turnbased #strategygame

To test out the interest in my "pixel-art 3d style" I got a sale going on for some of my assets, which is also making the extra textures and presets of my portals a bit cheaper: nojoule.itch.io/pixel-portals #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart #vfx

New asset with a similar style to my pixel portals. Thinking about doing a whole collection with that style. nojoule.itch.io/pixel-sky-3d #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart #vfx

Small bug turned the sun in my shader into a planet-destroying laser. #gamedev #godotengine #vfx

New asset soon™ #gamedev #godotengine #indiedev #vfx

Debugging some lighting values in my new shader and it looks accidentally really pretty #gamedev #godotengine #indiedev #vfx

I added the basic version of my portal effect to godotshaders, so you can play around with it in the browser: godotshaders.com/shader/dithe... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Inspired by @binbun3d.bsky.social I made these pixel portals and in the same spirit, made the shaders free (CC0) too! And if you want to support me you'll get some presets with some textures I made for a of couple bucks! nojoule.itch.io/pixel-portals #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart #vfx

Made some pixelart for a new asset I'm working on! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

72h solo game jam done! No assets, everything from scratch. 99% of planned features didn't make it in, but I'm happy with it! nojoule.itch.io/monstera #d2jam #gamejam #indiedev #pixelart

First thing I like to in a solo game jam is opening aseprite and just pixel away. Got a rough idea now! 72 hours, no assets, theme is "Plants" #d2jam #gamejam #indiedev #pixelart

The real snow might be gone at your place, but you can still play with it in my demo as I added this new effect to my asset on itch: nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx #godotengine #pixelart #gamedev

I got quite some feedback on my last video, so I made a follow up video answering some of your questions about my shader effects! youtube.com/shorts/HmglD... #godotengine #pixelart #gamedev #shaders

Anyone else watching the Olympic Games? #gamedev #godotengine #pixelart

Made a short video with a simplified explanation for my new freeze effect. nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx #godotengine #gamedev #shaders #pixelart

Web support for shaders is a pain. Spent a lot of time debugging yesterday and got it running much smoother now but I'm still not ready to tag it "Mobile friendly", but you can try the demo on your phone! To anyone with an iphone: does it work? 😅 nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx #godotengine #gamedev

New update coming tomorrow! 🎉 Including a frosty new effect and a new easy to use Label class. Follow for posts on how I made it and to not miss it: nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx #godotengine #pixelart #vfx #gamedev

Working on a new shader has me a bit confused #gamedev #godotengine #pixelart #vfx

@binbun3d.bsky.social inspired me to also upload some free open source shaders to godotshaders. So here is my first one! Should i do more small ones like these? godotshaders.com/shader/doubl... #gamedev #pixelart #godotengine

Small update to my fonts! Added kerning for Characters T and F as the gaps were sticking out a bit too much. nojoule.itch.io/font-pack #pixelart #fonts #gamdev

Me and a friend made this browser game during a 48h Game Jam, you can control the mask with your FACE!! (or mouse) nojoule.itch.io/mask-hero-1 The face control needs a camera so it may not work on all devices, but should even work on some phones! #GlobalGameJam #GGJ2026 #godotengine #gamedev

2%, y'all want me to get an actual job huh? Jokes aside I made this goal more as a reality check for my first month selling assets and I'm honestly happy reaching even 2%! And to the 11 people, I'll keep more shaders coming (in my free time)! itch.io/s/178801/pix... #gamedev #godot #indiedev

I just don't get tired of looking at them. Last 2 days of the 50% sale btw: nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx #vfx #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Playing around with some color #godotengine #vfx #ui #pixelart

I made a small promo video showcasing my asset and how i made the examples with them! #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev #youtube youtu.be/DpcPLzQPy54

Updated and tested my ui effects asset for the fresh new Godot 4.6 release, go grab it: nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx or just the font: nojoule.itch.io/font-pack #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #font

Added sliders to the demo, to show more possibilities with my asset! I also added more documentation and fixed some minor bugs. Get it here while the 50% sale is still on: nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx #godotengine #pixelart #ui #vfx

Some pixel fonts i made #pixelart #gamedev #retro nojoule.itch.io/font-pack

Button button button... Godot wrapper class for your UI elements, that you want these fancy effects on 50% off right now btw: nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx #godotengine #gamedev #pixelart #asset

I made this custom RichTextLabel for Godot, that lets you easily add some of my shader effects to your texts via BBCode. It's in early access with more performance improvements on the roadmap, but you can already get it on sale on my itch: nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx #godotengine #pixelart #itchio

Hey, I’m back with a new asset! I spent some time over the holidays creating it and wanted to share it before jumping into some tedious job hunting 😅 #gamedev #pixelart #vfx #ui #godotengine nojoule.itch.io/pixel-ui-vfx

More on my new shader: you can configure certain colors to emit the effect and configure a color palette for the effect. #pixelart #shader #godot #indiedev nojoule.itch.io/pixel-art-sh...

My new fiery effect - no particle system, no spritesheet, just a dynamic shader. #godot #shader #vfx #pixelart

Part 3 of my pixel art shader short series is out #gamedev #pixelart #godot youtube.com/shorts/yrBKT...

This took me 3 hours to figure out #godot #godotengine #gamedev

A sneak peak of my next shader effect for pixel art #gamedev #godotengine #pixelart

Adding new effects for game devs and pixel artists. Part 2 of my ongoing series. Today: Afterimages nojoule.itch.io/pixel-art-sh... and check out the game from @eliasdoesathing.bsky.social #godotengine #godot #pixelart #shader #gamedev
