Constructing roof intersections is tricky. We just had an interesting discussion about this in Discord, therefore tomorrow 18:30 CET on "Pixelart for Game Developers" Alex and I will do the first 2 exercises live. The others will be homework, if it interests you work ahead!
Growth from launch onwards always is quite a big feat for any game... There are 76k players playing right now, and the release spike was 60k. That's 16k more and growths of this large size are really quite uncommon.
I am so happy and relieved to see the Gothic 1 Remake doing well. It's on traction to overtake Elex2 just on day 2 of release. It also will be interesting to see if it will outsell Elex1, which was the original studios' best selling game ever. Overall it's a solid remake with an 11/10 soundtrack.
Simple villagers who try to stand against a vampire necromancer usually become one of their ghouls and enjoy the eternity of the night. Character for @vampiretacticsgame.bsky.social #pixelart #indiedev
I am so disappointed, Indie Retro News, which I always loved is now championing AI slop games. Check it out on your own: www.indieretronews.com/2026/02/unde... Slop images, "Producer says it's not AI. Judge on your own, but man this stings really badly.
Vampire Tactics will feature a whole pack of those! @vampiretacticsgame.bsky.social
This veteran lieutenant is no stranger to the darkness. Armed with a silver blade, he has felled terrors throughout his long years of service. Leading a platoon of royal soldiers, he stands firm against the creatures of the night. For @vampiretacticsgame.bsky.social
I am working on some unit sprite animations for a teaser for Vampire Tactics. So I hand-animated this 16 frame idle for the Pikeman, who you might have already spotted in earlier screenshots of the game. He is now just idling around & hoping to not meet any vampires!
