Humble reminder that growth happens over a long period of time. Our artist had zero experience working with pixel art when we started. He learned the foundations, refined techniques, made it his own, and gave that to Fretless. Proud to share that his efforts have earned us a nomination! ๐จ

When we say Fretless took 8 years, we really mean it took 8 years to find. Many games were started/abandoned. Gameplay from 2019 shows our first level โThe Mineโ where Rob searched for magical ore to upgrade his Shovel Guitar!

When we started Fretless, Unity did not support aseprite filesโit does now ๐ We found amazing 3rd party tools which afforded rapid iteration of animations and tile maps. Map editor

I started playing Fretless a few days ago and it is freaking awesome - a GuitaRPG with musically driven combat, Slay the Spire esque combat but with timed inputs ala Paper Mario. Tons of heart and music homages, made by a prolific music YouTuber and team. Highly recommend
