happy friday I'm drinking red whilst wearing a white t-shirt because I am fearless anyway here's some free CC0 pixel fonts for you not-jam.itch.io/not-jam-font...

Text rendered in bright green over a dark blue-green background, set in an ultrabold monospace pixel font with a sharp, hard-edged look.

Saw Evil Dead Burn, and shared my thoughts on The Underscore Not sure it lands everything it tries, but it's got some fantastic performances, effects and is shot really creatively - would love to discuss with anyone who's seen it! theunderscore.xyz/t/the-moviez...

Pixel art portrait of Alyssa from Evil Dead Rise. She has wide, staring eyes and an unnerving smile. She's covered in cuts and blood, not all of it her own, and has messy, unkempt hair. The picture is drawn to look as if she's being viewed through a peephole (that's also blood splattered), reminiscent of a scene from the movie.

The portrait is drawn with a purple-tinted 2-bit palette.

the character that this PC belongs to is just learning to draw, so she also has images like this saved to her desktop

A pixel art rendition of a computer screen, on which a hand-drawn picture of a dinosaur is displayed. It's of dubious quality, with some messy, uneven line work, but it's got plenty of character. The scene is rendered in neon pink, purple and black with vibrant, pale blue highlights. It's been subjected to a fairly extreme fake CRT filter

Not Jam@not-jam· 29d

until today there was a distinct lack of dinosaurs in my game so I added this image file to one of the computers you find in world I am sorry it took me so long, dinosaurs should have been a priority from the start

screenshot from a pixel art game. It shows a static image of a non-specific large theropod dinosaur, rendered within a fake computer display with icons to minimise, maximise and close the image viewer. The scene is rendered in neon pink, purple and black with vibrant, pale blue highlights. It's been subjected to a fairly extreme fake CRT filter

trailer for the tiny game battery acid boy goes trampolining. In it, the titular battery acid boy, a tiny 1-bit sprite bounces on a trampoline, interspersed with jump cuts to strange, seemingly unrelated scenes including clouds, a planet, a desert landscape and the game's title. Everything is rendered in black and white pixel art.

sinkhole is one thing but the crooked picture on the wall is unforgivable going to have words with management

screenshot from an unreleased survival horror pixel art game. A character with her hair up in a bun stands before a large sinkhole in the center of an apartment building corridor. Behind her is a closed door with the number 13 and a portrait, hung crooked on the wall.

The scene is drawn with a blue-purple 2-bit palette, and overlaid with a dot-matrix style effect.

it's basically halloween at this point so here's some little guys I made a while back

a pair of pixel art portraits with matched sprites. On top is a pumpkin headed figure with a wide, evil grin and either demin overalls or a leather apron; it's not entirely clear which at this resolution. Beneath is a strange goblin-vampire cross, wearing a heavy cloak that it keeps wrapped tight around its body.

Not Jam@not-jam· Jul 3

one important aspect of physical media is that you can write threatening messages on it to frighten ur audience

Screenshot from an unreleased pixel art game. It displays a CD-rw in a jewel case, with the word "run" written on it in sharpie. Descriptive text at the bottom of the image describes this. The scene is rendered in a purple-ish 2-bit palette, and overlaid with a dot-matrix style effect

var new_array : Array = original_array.duplicate() fuck my life

Screenshot of the Godot docs. It reads: "Note: Arrays are always passed by reference. To get a copy of an array that can be modified independently of the original array, use duplicate()."

Not Jam@not-jam· Jun 30

Reminder: Godot's Arrays are passed to vars by reference. If you modify the original array, or any var that is derived from it, all vars that refer to the same array will also change I wish that I'd remembered this two fucking hours ago, but you can learn from my mistakes

A bald, cloaked figure stands on a clifftop above the clouds. They stare directly at a floating, mustachioed figure wearing a crisp white shirt with thin purple tie and round glasses. The floating figure glares at the cloaked one, eyes slightly narrowed in anger, instructing them to "Read the docs!". The cloaked figure replies "no"

my windscreen wipers broke yes I know it's hot as balls and might never rain again but I do kind of need them fuck you car fucking dickhead

pixel art depiction of a cloaked figure, standing in front of a box car. It's drawn with a purple-ish 2-bit palette, using repeating tiles to make up the background at Game Boy resolution. Text at the bottom reads "The car is broken", because it is.

Screen recording of the trailer to Battery Acid Boy 2, a pixel art bullet hell game. It consists of a series of gameplay clips, each featuring a tiny humanoid sprite representing the player running and dashing around the screen, dodging or deflecting projectiles and occasionally firing a laser beam at enemies.

Enemies are a mix of creatures, some humanoid and some insectoid, whilst others are more abstract shapes.

Each clip utilises a different four-colour palette.

At the end of the trailer, after a screen wipe, the game's title appears onscreen.

koffing, fearow, bellsprout and blastoise, rendered in an ultra-low resolution pixel art style. Each features strong black linework, often using colours that spill outside of the lines - less as anti-aliasing and more to create big, blocky shapes.

long week but coffee still brings me joy so here is a picture I drew of my chemex :)

pixel art picture of a chemex coffee brewer. It is filled with a beautiful red-brown coffee, with the characteristically gorgeous effect that light has on coffee within a chemex.

so I'm going to have a challenging summer with work, and could really use a bunch of short games I can be playing through to help de-stress in the evenings. If you're an indie dev with a short game (or game with short sessions) I'd love to hear about what you've made :)

Pixel art picture of Space Ghost. He stands stoically, and though we can't see his face at this low resolution it would be safe to assume he's wearing his usual dumb fuck expression. His cloak billows in the wind.
