My next game is a rouglike mini rpg, and things are starting to work out pretty well in my prototype. A lot of basic systems are in place βœ…

πŸ–ŒοΈPainting some backgrounds for my boss fights. Nothing sets the mood like a good old blood moon πŸ”΄
Having a very limited colorpalette is a one nice way of getting a cool retro look.

Making a rougelite rpg, short intense fights, maps to explore and lots of gear to collect. Here is a draft of one of the boss fights.
If this sounds like a game you would enjoy - give it a like!β™₯️ Thanks!

Sketching out the hero for my game, which one is the best? 🀷Might do some player customization further down the line, but for now its just one sprite. Can you pick one favorite and let me know?! πŸ”½

First freelance pixel art for a commercial game βœ…
I just finished my first freelance work for a commercial game, painted pixel landscape images for a really cool upcoming game.

How did I get it? I happened to show my current artwork for my own game, and it matched that game really well!😊

Pixelart art - a small outpost village.

So I´m in Sweden, its been freezing cold for weeks, snow, but now mostly ice everywhere 🧊
Had to paint some pixels something to warm me up, and remind me there will be a summer one day β˜€οΈ

Great input, I first was going to have a lot of different stances, but then I realized it would be much easier to have just one cool battle stance.

What should I call this badboy? Is it a Beowolf? A beast? Wolfman?
Anyway, it turned out pretty cool, donΒ΄t you think?

Trying out some different gear for my next game, a mini RPG with lots of loot.
Can we all agree on that it is cool to change the look on your hero?

Would you by a game that looked like this?
I'm going for retro pixel style with a darker palette. Gear up your knight before the full moon when evil strikes hard.

Does this looks alright?
πŸ”Ž Work in progress for my tiny RPG with lots of loot, short fights and short runs all set in a classic fantasy pixel style.
Going for a bit darker tones and a limited palette.
