Cool pixels I made with very cool people. There might be more to the story of Draconia, so play Draco and the Seven Scales! store.steampowered.com/app/2559690/...
The Tale of Draconia... I've wanted to share this cutscene for a long time, but I'm not going to show the whole thing yet on socials ๐คซ
This was a blast to make with the amazing art of @zaebucca.bsky.social and music from @tohomoko.bsky.social
Draco and the Seven Scales is available now btw store.steampowered.com/app/2559690/...

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting
"AI lets you focus on the higher level ideas!!" because we all grew up dreaming of becoming managers and CEOs we all know the real artists at the very highest level are the shareholders, famously full of amazing ideas

I did it. It feels surreal. Feels like just yesterday I was drawing my own versions of Kirby powers, or Mega Man bosses, never imagining that I would actually put a game on a Nintendo console some day... www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro... #gamedev #indiegame #nintendoswitch #indiegames

My SSD broke, I,am currently trying to extract as much stuff as possible. Meanwhile, felt like doing some comfort spriting on my beloved old pc from 2012. God bless #pixelart (and @aseprite.org) as a low-fi, working class friendly medium! Classic Sugimori artwork sprites, 5 colors, 56x56px
