I like the way you texture them, simple but effective. Hyper light drifter style :)

Had to come up with a super vertical banner for my game!

Not entirely satisfied with it and I have no idea how this tall ratio is going to post in here, but might as well share it while I'm working on not-so-exciting parts of the game 😄

A tall vertical banner displaying a pixelart composition of a necromancer holding its hands out above a throne of bones, upon which a Skeleton King is sitting. The name of the game, "Necromental", can be read on the top of the composition.

Thank you for everyone's kindness.

I'm mostly here to appreciate other people's art, but I finally felt inspired to make a teaser for my own game and decided to set up a Steam page. Cheers for the encouraging comments in the last few days!

Here goes nothing. 🤞

A quick flag locator to summon your hordes of minions to a specific place.

Useful in combat, but also while puzzle solving and scouting for sneaky secrets 🤫

✨Happy #screenshotsaturday! 🗺️ I've started building out the town tileset based on my old concept art for it (tileset WIP on left, concept on right). Not much progress yet, but feels good to get it going.
