#PortfolioDay - biiig maps edition Despite everything, it's still me, Alessandro, an italian pixel artist who left the Fine Arts and Movie Art Department to go crazy about little squares. I like big top-down maps and limited palettes, but I kind of do a little bit of everything-pixels nowadays!

Dinner looks delicious dear but it seems a little... linear. Where are the rogue-like elements that make every new bite interesting and fresh. The re-eatability value here is not very high if I'm being honest

+ My major project for this 2026 first quarter has been canceled, therefore I am now open for work - preferably under a part-time workframe, preferably gamedev. + Tilesets (+anim) & sprites very welcome! + New itch tiles are finally coming, too, but I'm looking for a structured gamedev project.

#PortfolioDay - and a little pitch, may I? I am Alessandro, an italian artist with 15+ years experience in pixels, a penchant for tilesets, top-down view, monsters and adventures! I left my main occupation in movie art dept (set design) in late 2023 to pursue full-time #pixelart. Ch-ch-ch-changes!

At one point I added ship fast travel using the giant macaw, but I scrapped it. It was kinda unnecessary. The overworld was easily navigable without it

Here's a look at fishing in Draco! We shift from a zelda-like to turn based combat! You'll need to use all the tools at your disposal to catch those crafty fish! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Here's an early look at one of the new minibosses I'm working on!

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

Messing around with some different transition effects.✨ What should I try next?

hi promise I'm not dead

The major breakthrough with this update is that I was able to web build for Godot C#! This is something that hasn't been possible in Godot 4.0 (and still isn't in the official release), but its thanks to the work of Raul Santos and some of the other folks on the Godot github that made this possible!

Set sail on a voyage full of pirates, dark magic, and the thrill of discovery! Draco and the Seven Scales is an action-adventure RPG that harkens back to an age of top down adventures and lovable pixel art. 🔗 store.steampowered.com/app/2559690/... @xythas.bsky.social
