idle animation for @finessefantasy.bsky.social's Kolossekin character Jyambazi!

tried to capture the contrast between her good-natured demeanor and the immense power conferred by her Behemoth ancestry

a lot of fun getting to work on this character again!

A pixel art illustration showing, from a fist-person perspective, a green hand hovering above a purple shiny orb, setting on a red cushion. The background is a dark dungeon room, where a set of stone stairs lead into a backlit archway, where the silhouetted green goblin stands with their arms to their sides and hands extending slightly forward. Pixelart illustration containing tiles and props from the top level of the tower in the game Torment Hexus. The scene shows a room made out of gold-trimmed black marble, flanked by a pair of statues depicting a man with wings for arms, perched on top of a globe. The statutes are each underlit by four small spotlights on the floor. At the center of the room, there is a hexagonal command station made out of golden colored metal, projecting a cylindrical display of six holographic screens, each with an assortment of indistinct symbols and information. To the north of it, there is a computer desk, made out of the same materials, and projecting a a flat display of four tiled screens. The central screen shows a world map, and the other sub-screens show small pieces of indistinct assorted information. A textmode pixel art scene of a dungeon, where a goblin sits beside a campfire. To its north is a small room containing a chest and a locked door, beyond which there is a stairway leading down. On the top left corner of the screen, a minimap shows the player's current location and some of the adjacent rules. On the top right, a gold counter indicates the player has 25 gold. A CRT filter is applied over the scene. Pixel art illustration for one of the panels of the intro sequence of upcoming game Huedini. The image shows a psychedelic multi-colored skull approaching three gems from screen center. The gems are red, green and blue. Tentacles and tendrils extend from the skull and wrap around the gems, pulling them into the skulls open maw.

Picture of a gray dog standing in the grass with his tongue out, looking at the camera. A dirty tennis ball can be seen half-covered by the grass in front of the dog. A few trees and bushes can be seen in the background.

dusting off this old, never before posted 1-bit mock from yesteryear
#screenshotsaturday
1-bit black and white pixel art mockup of a 2D side scrolling game, depicting an industrial setting, with metal platforms suspended by chains against a star black background. On one of the upper platforms, a small character with a glass dome covering their head stands holding a tiny gun. On the platform below them stands an imposing security mech, holding a large rifle. The mech appears to guard a pedestal, atop which a floppy disk floats. The picture is framed by a white border, on the top left corner of which a UI element indicating the player's health shows two out of three little orb icons filled in.

i mean the top right one looks almost exactly like a brazilian "bala de coco", so i'd have to disagree with you there

QRT com as suas arte asquerosa, sinistra
Pixel art illustration for one of the panels of the intro sequence of upcoming game Huedini. The image shows a psychedelic multi-colored skull falling like a meteor from space. To the bottom left, at the corner the skull is falling towards, there's the faint glow of three light sources: one green, one blue and one red. Pixel art rendition of a scene of the anime Dungeon Meshi, in the style of the video game Fear & Hunger, in which an elf mage (Marcille) performs a blood magic ritual to bring a human woman (Falin) back to life. Behind them a red magic circle shines against a black background. A JRPG-style battle screen in a style inspired by the game Fear & Hunger, that shows a pink cat (Bob, from Animal Crossing) holding a bloody axe. The options available to the player are "HARM", "TALK" and "FLEE". A textbox displays the message "bob emerges from the dungeon..." Pixel art head-on self portrait with a limited palette and harsh lighting against a dark background. A faux-scanline effect is applied to the piece.

nice, thanks!

a full export template seemed overkill to me since the binary in the end is just a standard arm64 linux build. My current approach is an EditorExportPlugin that just wraps the result of the normal export process into the required portmaster structure.
Cropped screenshot of a Godot 4 export window showing extra options added to a Linux export dialog, under a section labeled PortMaster Export. This section contains additional data needed to prepare this binary for PortMaster support, such as the name of the directory and boot script, and the Godot runtime it relies on.

to leave a rec of my own, this is the mono font I use in my text editor to display my textmode stuff - Fairfax HD. no hard data on how it compares to others in terms of unicode completeness, but it has served me well

www.kreativekorp.com/software/fon...
Pixel art mock-up reimagining Dark Souls or a souls-like game as a low resolution roguelike, rendered in a textmode font. The player, represented by a blue knight, is seen beside a campfire, in a structure built in the middle of a cemetery. Purple skull enemies can be seen outside, among the graves. A log of messages to the right reads: "3 heal, 1 dmg, 1 dmg, BONFIRE LIT". A CRT shader is applied on top of the screen. Text representation of the previous scene in a text editor with a monospace font lacking proper Unicode coverage, showing how it needs to fallback to characters and emojis of uneven widths, hindering legibility. Another text representation of the same scene, this time using the Fairfax HD font, showing how its extensive Unicode coverage keeps the characters evenly spaced and the general composition far more readable than the previous example.

just had the pleasure of translating @finessefantasy.bsky.social's beefy character Jyambazi into a (somewhat compact) pixel sprite!

Jyambazi is a Kolossekin - a stout, beast-like folk whose veins course with Behemoth blood.

i admit i'm no ux genius, but isn't it a bit awkward that we've landed on the exact same icon for "double check that this program isn't malware" and "just let this one go wild lmao"
