This is an animated drawing that I made for myself! I was interested in experimenting with this scene idea for a while.

I aimed for a simple animation & background. Focusing on a few pieces and 8 animation frames made assembly easy.

I can see a lot of potential in this already. I'll be keeping my eyes on this one! *u*

I've recently been trying the public #Allumeria playtest, and it already has some decent structure!

At a glance, it reminds me mainly of Terraria, but also Minecraft, Starbound, and Stardew Valley.

The building QoL is especially promising! For example, blocks can be shaped in a few ways as you go.

A screenshot of Allumeria. In the middle of the screen is a radial select menu, allowing for blocks to be placed as stairs, slabs, and even separate fences and panels! "Flooring", which acts akin to Minecraft carpets, is currently selected.
The surrounding area is a tiny house with paintings and other loot placed around.

A screenshot of an inventory in Allumeria. The main inventory space is extremely large compared to Minecraft or even Terraria. Two subtle buttons in the lower left allow for quick inventory management, including one to sort items into nearby chests' item stacks.
On the left is an equipment panel with armor, some (weirdly stacked) "trinkets" (which are accessories), ammo, and... I think that they're called tokens.
The right-side panel is even more interesting: Like Terraria, any recipe that can currently be crafted is visible and can simply be clicked.

For Touhou Fan Game Jam 16, we made "Rotate Rotate Rusty!", a game inspired by the cult classic "Kuru Kuru Kururin" series. Guide a rotating rectangular goober through unique mazes, and try to master time attack! Playable in browser on computers!

The style is very expressive! If you're going for playful and cute, the Paper Mario style reflects that well!

「 Face The Night 」

I like to draw costumes each Halloween, and went for a knight & werefox this time!
I also made this for a monthly #VGenChallenge entry, so a "fog" theme is included.
It's like we're on a Castlevania-style quest! Or simply trick-or-treating.
#AuburnArcanart
✦ Total time: ~32 hours

A drawing of Auburn and her shadow youkai "Alter" posing together. Auburn is on the left in her "Ruby Armor" outfit design. It's a set of knight armor, themed after gems! It's inspired by her CotN plate armor sprite and Starbound's peacock armor set (in red). The armor itself consists of a red-white breastplate and shoulderpads adorned with rubies, an emerald crest with a red fabric piece, red metal gauntlets & boots, and gray arm plates & plateskirt with red frills. She's wearing a short scarf/capelet over the armor. Her leather belt supports a white drape over the plateskirt. Between segments are dark teal mesh pieces, perhaps nylon or chainmail. Her headpiece is a green circlet with ruby orbets, a gem embedded, and two wing-like geode shapes on each side - perhaps quartz. Emerald-like orblets dangle from the geodes on a string, like earrings.
Auburn carries a shiny sword with a green gem in the hilt, and is in a stance. She's wearing her glasses, and has a slightly goofy but confident smile.
On the right is Alter as a "werefox". She has fox ears and messy but very fluffy long purple hair. Her arms and legs are very furry, sharing her hair color, though with black at the hands and feet. The fur is also visible on the shoulders, presumably goes some distance under the clothing, and is a lighter shade towards the front. (She doesn't have paw pads, or any need.) She's wearing a white & light green dress with open shoulders, straps, flowy sleeves, and green accents. Along with green formal-looking shoes with ankle straps (clothes are still nice!), she's wearing a silver moon necklace.
Alter is in a cute running pose, and has a neutral expression while baring her slightly elongated fangs.
The scene is a foggy autumn forest with some pumpkins visible on the ground. Auburn stands on a rock formation in the path. In the distance is an autumn forest mountain with the moon right over it, set on an otherwise clear sky.

Reminder that there's nothing wrong with being weird

(Marisa touhou) in case you haven't i'm weird. I' a weirdo. I don't fit in. I don't want to fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? That's weird.

Shovel Knight is a lot of fun! The way that he fights foes, digs through walls, and also uncovers floor treasure all plays incredibly smoothly together. I can highly recommend this DLC character!

We also tried Tatters's More Modes mod and some other silly combos! Very fun!

A screenshot of Crypt of the Necrodancer. Shovel Knight decided to be Karate Knight in Zone 3 - no shovel, weaponizing his own sheer strength against the armies of undead in here.

Also, the Crypt is spooky. ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2273742044 )

Starting at around the usual 6PM time...?
