Introducing "Retreat to Ferndell Cottage", a cosy witchy solo journaling RPG! Made for the lovely @gothhoblin.me birthday jam!💚 It's still a bit of a WiP, so there will be some gradual edits and new versions added later (such as an accessible one and printer-friendly one!) But here it is!

I love that I got an OUNCE of motivation for my worldbuilding, but I find it very funny that my brain is being pulled in two different directions at the same time cuz two different projects. One makes me think: how can I make this interactive? The other makes me think: how weird can I make this?

despite everything, you must create art. just in the way you want. its the only way

Me when a theme from a game I've never played gets stuck in my head and I MUST do something with it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ViH... Also this is my entry for the #Vgen April challenge (theme: Bee). First time posting original music in public I'm nervous 😬

Each time I read a kickstarter update I get MORE excited for this 😍 Now that we got a list of the MoN that will appear in the alpha, I’m already planning my team for it 🤣

did a lot of pixelart on the March Hotel event, those were some of my favorites #marchhotel26

TJ's work always impresses me, and the detail he puts into the little things is amazing 🥰 And he's really easy to work with 😍

There's just over one day left to grab this incredible bundle of games! Every penny will be going to an excellent charity providing care and support for anyone struggling with their mental health. The Wandering Library: Expanded Edition is just one of many in here! 💚 itch.io/b/3481/solo-...

This is a cool bundle btw! I see a bunch of AWESOME games from my friends @incaseofgrace.bsky.social and @ap-cartography.bsky.social (even one of mine), as well as games from people I look up to! Take a look, see if something catches your attention! itch.io/b/3481/solo-...

Recently, I got nominated for two worldbuilding awards from World Anvil 🥰 I’m really proud and excited that I’ve been nominated! The competition is rough tho, so many great entries! Feel free to check them: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... (Thanks @strixxline.com for these graphics!)

I gotta remember that I’m allowed to share my stuff in here, and then actually do it… Maybe I’ll talk later about my worldbuilding world anvil nominations! I also need to interiorise that I’m allowed to post more than once a day. People are following me to see me talk and share my stuff! 😤

OH RIGHT I'm meant to do the self promo thing! this font was commissioned through my VGen - if you'd like a bespoke pixel font of your own (any size!) then send me a message :D vgen.co/tjtrewin/ser... (I'm a couple of comms away from reaching verified status! 🎉)

Finished in time for the weekeeeeeeeend!! 🥳🎉 Overworld Adventure - Temperate Plains 16x16 top-down tileset tjtrewin.itch.io/overworld-ad... FREE for personal use 🙌❤️ paid for commercial :D only $8 and the next update brings more water tiles! #PixelArt #GameDev #IndieGameDev #top-down #tileset

We're halfway through the month and rent is due like unironically, so I'm just gonna use VGen's discount feature and press the "ACTIVATE SALE" button for a week I also made new graphics I offer a humble 20% off for everything I do over there! As always there's no pressure, anything helps!!!

The next release of Fantastical Geographic is only a couple of days away!! There is honestly so much good stuff in this next issue, and I can't wait for you to see it! 💚 Make sure you're following @fangeo.bsky.social for all the updates! (Heraldic logo by: @alderdoodle.bsky.social) #fangeo

Made some new art for the KoFi tiers, fully leaning into the whole happy accident that was the tiers creating the acronym of TEA! ☕ I probably should look into getting myself a map mug...or who knows, maybe making/designing one myself? 👀 Which of these would you choose?

I don’t think I ever ended up sharing this lil’ project! pkmn-rng.catoblepon.com Pushing myself out my comfort zone cuz I was so proud of finishing this. It’s a simple website where you can see #pokemon sprites (pixel art) and then change (randomly) their colours! Why? Read the comment! (1/5)

My top two creations I'd like to share are: 🐉 The Wyrm's Lair Map, made for Fantastical Geographic 📚 The Wandering Library: Expanded Edition, a solo journaling RPG Both of which you can find in my KoFi shop, along with some other maps and little solo RPGs! 💚

Not often joining these, but I’m still happy of this man! If you see this, post your green art! 🍀

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it brother Sonic Heroes but good

Happy Tuesday folks! It feels like I've been working on this forever, but I am pleased to announce that The Wandering Library: Expanded Edition is now available for purchase! ✨ Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me throughout this! 💚

First time doing this lol In a few days I'll be moving out for the first time, so I've reworked commissions on Kofi and #VGen to support myself a little. No pressure though, anything helps!🙏 Have a gander at my wares Kofi: ko-fi.com/jontaro_kun/... VGen: vgen.co/Jontaro_Kun

Get some gorgeous #pixelart assets for your games and designs and arts! TJ did an amazing job with all of these and if it wasn’t cuz I already owned most of the thing, I wouldn’t have even hesitated to buy the sale bundle! Adding some of these in my worldbuilding project: Vaelis Arin. 😍👀

Oh boy oh boy I am now officially taking commissions and will make cool art for YOU This has been a long time coming but it's WAY funnier if I say it's for Sonic Racing Crossworlds ko-fi.com/jontaro_kun/...

This is such a gorgeous map 😍

Septembit week 2 progress! I'm really enjoying the Zelda-inspired spin I'm putting on these prompts :D the more I complete, the easier it is for me to get distracted & start playing around with layout ideas already xD #PixelArt #1bit #Aseprite #Septembit #Septembit2025 #Zelda

If you see this, post a sword! ⚔️ Don’t mind me, taking the opportunity to share my #swordtember of last year (and mentioning I’m planning on doing it again this year!) #pixelart

This was genuinely an insta buy 🥰 Can’t wait to add it to one of my projects and a possible swordtember thingy 👀 (Wait… cato doing stuff? 😱 I swear I’m as alive as a floating skull can be! Just v low energy) Will be sharing what I do with the font 😤

This is BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait to get it and play with it 😍

This took less time than I thought in the end! Don't worry though, there's plenty of time before it actually starts. So, put the 15th September in your diaries if you'd like to participate! Whether you want to make a game, or game-related content with a cosy whimsical fantasy theme, this is for you.

today's assignment from #chromacorps2025, a glacial restaurant and also a fanart of @closesho.bsky.social cadet, Molie

Drawing random maps and wondering about the story behind them is quite fun. Is an inaccurate or badly drawn map done on purpose or not? Maybe by a lazy or underpaid cartographer? I've just added this map into my Ko-Fi shop, for use in your own Non-Commercial game or story: ko-fi.com/s/26dadac008

🐸 And here we have it, the result of a random little fixation over the past few days! A silly little game about frogs! My submission for @prokopetz.bsky.social WTFjam on itch.

I don’t often share my drawings here, but I saw a different drawing of this OC I did a month or two ago and I had to draw him, and ended up LOVING the drawing 😍 Had fun playing with brushes too, really love the one I used for the sketch. Maybe I should name him… #art #fantasy

Just tried the demo of this game! It has been fun! It is pretty! Quite love the dialog screens and the potion brewing! Can't wait for more 😍

Lots of great stuff in this antifascist Pay What You Want bundle on Itch.io - zines, poetry, games, protest resources, and also my novel. Get it here: itch.io/b/3048/antif...
