🚀🌟🎉 Version 2 of my RETRO SPRITE PACK is out now. little-martian.itch.io/retro-sprite... It's designed to work well with my retro textures, and now features 33 static billboard sprites. Here's some of the new stuff... #pixelart

I think it's time I figured out how to animate some of my textures, so I'm starting with something simple... #pixelart

Sci-fi screens...

New themed texture pack just landed. It's only small for now, containing just 64 alien/futuristic themed textures, but it'll grow. And of course, all of the additions will be going into the mega bundle too! #pixelart 👇 Link below

There's something incredibly relaxing in thinking about how surfaces and materials might look if they were worn, damaged, broken, weathered, rusty, and overgrown. You can get these and hundreds texture more just like 'em, for just $8! (Link below) #pixelart

Bluesky is so much nicer, because I just see the stuff I want to see, based on the people that I follow. Which means I don't get AI garbage shoved down my throat!

Some WIP entities/enemies for my next Chroma Noir expansion! 🦂🐍🧞 🔽More Chroma Noir Below! 🔽 #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev #indiedev

One scene, two different vibes!

Making a decent looking fire animation cycle with the Spectrum's 2-colours per 8x8 block restriction was certainly tough! 🤖🔥 #zxspectrum

Another scene from Beep's Escape! 🤖❄️⚡ #zxspectrum

More #zxsprectrum #pixelart from Beep's Escape! 😍

Waterfall...

More pixel art without AI ✨

"I'm making a game with authentic ZX Spectrum graphics, in a web browser, using React!" ...is not something I ever thought I'd be saying! 🤣

I figured out how to emulate the #zxspectrum colour clash effect using HTML/CSS, which means I can make more Speccy style games using my own React-based game engine! 💪 #webdevelopment #javascript

v17 of my Retro Texture Pack just landed, now consisting of 409 textures! 🥳 Go get 'em, for just $5! Link below... 👇

New version of my retro texture pack is landing today, now featuring OVER 400 textures in total! 🎉✨ #pixelart ⬇️ Link below, if you want to check them out...

I'm working on a series of concrete based textures, which interchange nicely. So far I have 16. #pixelart

I'm trying out some rough concrete textures. How's it looking so far?

🎉 I'm drawing texture again! The latest version adds 18 new textures, taking the total to 388! It adds some gruesome, bloodied, wooden door variants, broken fences, some dirty steel beams, and more pebbles and cobblestones. little-martian.itch.io/retro-textur...

Almost 2 years ago I launched my first game on Steam! It's an adventure game that recreates the #zxspectrum aesthetic that I loved as a kid! 🤖⚡️ In BEEP'S ESCAPE you help a little robot escape captivity, by solving challenging puzzles! store.steampowered.com/app/2286990/...

I find that a long walk up in the hills is always the best way to get the creative juices flowing! I have so many fresh ideas when I'm out amongst nature.

Overreact, my first mobile app launched for iOS today, featuring a collection of (somewhat frustrating 😆) button-based mini games! And a huge thank you to everyone who helped with testing and providing feedback! (Android coming soon, I'm just waiting on the review process) #ios #gamedev

I have a new propic, do you like it?🤖

I've not drawn any new textures for my retro texture pack in a while. Maybe I should do something about that. Any requests? #pixelart #gamedev #doom

Over the festive break I've been tinkering with a new project: I'm building a mobile app (iOS and Android) jam packed with lots of button-based mini-games, using my own web-based game engine! If you're interested in testing it out, drop me a message! Thanks!

This afternoon, with a couple of hours of spare time after prepping for Christmas dinner, I fired up my laptop and started my festive side-project! Merry Christmas folks! 🎄🎉

Wrote a naive soft-body system in Godot Following @walaber.com's JellyCar Physics Explained video :)! #GodotEngine

Christmas has landed in the Smith household... 😆🎄

More artwork from Beep's Escape... 🤖 #pixelart #zxspectrum

Here's the cover art for Beep's Escape (launched), Beep Boop (demo out now), and Little Martian (in development) side by side! 😍

Cover art for Beep Boop. Logo by me, artwork by John Henderson! It's so beautiful, really capturing the 80s/90s cover art style. 🤖😍 #retrogaming #pixelart #indiegame

I think I'm enjoying social media again, for the first time in well over a year. ☺️ And I have an excuse to repost stuff! Like these, from my retro texture pack (link below) #pixelart #gzdoom #gamedev

The 40-level demo of my latest game "Beep Boop" is out on Steam. 🤖🎉 It's a Bubble Bobble clone with a few twists of its own. Go check it out!

ZX Spectrum pixel art will always be my jam #pixelart #zxspectrum

Hello! I've got to start somewhere, right? #pixelart #indiedev
