Dusk Tactics @dusktactics.bsky.social · Aug 31

Hey everyone!

I'm currently looking for a pixel artist, preferably one with experience doing isometric art to create a cobblestone path tileset.

It would be similar to the kind used in Tactics Ogre, but for 64x32 sized tiles. Paid of course.

Post if you're interested!

The biggest, massive quality indie games like Deltarune and Silksong coming out for extremely cheap just sets/keeps the bar at a level where any indie game dev that doesn't have a giant smash hit can barely scrape by.

silksong, honey...... a 80 hour game does not belong in the $20 price category......
us indies with 20 hour games really need that space for healthy expectations...
