I have an idea for a video game. I have no experience developing games. I am bad at social media.
I am going to wing it and use this as a log of my Game Development as a middle aged man with 3 kids clearly going threw a midlife crisis
Picture of pixel art I drew last night because I am proud of it

Work has been fairly demanding lately. I decided to make a twitch account and streaming while I work on Wonderspark. I have really enjoyed making panel art.

Extremely busy traveling for work but still in the process of trying to draw the general head shape. I think I'll have to cut it down to 16x16 and include hair options
32x32 introduces the issue of multiple face types.

I won't lie last night was the first slump I have had and first time I thought about quiting.
Goal is to work on the people outline and style since everything else should be built around the player.
16x16 is rough 32x32 is too much

I keep finding myself day dreaming about things I want to add to the demo. I am placing these ideas in their own ticketing project called Wonderspark Polish.
When I get the MVP done I am going to go threw these and add the ones that actually seem worth it.
