#artvsartist for 2025: 💜 Started with a big #pixelart commission project followed by 6 months of #gamedev as I learned #gamemaker programming and rebuilt 60% of demo systems for #Moonshell_Island. A challenging but satisfying year of growth for me. 💪🦀

Folks who don’t make things don’t realize that art is ALL process The discovery and direction provided at the earliest concept stages is invaluable Even programmer napkin drawings shape the vision If you launder these crucial early steps through plagiarism machines, what are you even polishing?

worm for you

Guess it’s time to call the senators again, but ughhh can these jerks just…stop? 💀 www.theverge.com/policy/82365...

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it. patreon.com/cheekynauts

someone on tumblr asked about what color palette I use. I pretty much always use my own palettes. this is the one I used for most of the old pixel art I've been reposting here #pixelart

it's Christmas! which means it is time to once again watch the hit 1996 movie Jingle All the Way!

MERRY!!!

I really hope there is an actual audience for the Yume Nikki inspired walking simulator game I am working on
