Next up in our Meet The Locals series is Aobh!

Aobh is a former Kiss-Club employee turned artist. Her WAACF mandatory cybernetic-augments make it hard to distance herself from her corporate past, but maybe you can help with that…

A pixel art image of a pale women with black cybernetic legs and one black cybernetic arm. She has black hair and red eyes and wears a black dress. On her neck and arm she has tattoos. The word AOBH is written to her right.

Jimmy is probably my favourite character in the game right now... -Eoghan

However, most Fomorians will tell you they’re just misunderstood and ever since Fomorian Technologies Inc was taken over by WAACF they’ve been under the same thumb as any other creature in the city…

Jimmy is a former WAACF employee you’ll find making the most of life in Scary Marys…

Fomorians :
The grotesque natives of Tory Island, off Donegal. Fomorians have long held a reputation of being the villains of Irish folklore. Not in small part thanks to their leader Balor.

Mondays, am I right?

In pixel art; A speech bubble in the centre of the page says "You look like you may be experiencing existential upset. This behaviour is not appropriate for the work place."
To the left of the text, a portrait of a brown, futuristic robot with light blue eyes and a blue outline.
The robot has seam lines across its face and body where its pieces were fitted together.
The speech bubble is surrounded by dark yellow swirling motifs, similar to the book of Kells.

Extreme Makeover: Pixel Art Edition

Check out Dulaman in Scary Mary's Pub and at the #IrishGamingMarket this weekend!

#letsgetexcited #indiedev #pixelart

In pixel art; "Before" written in white text in the top left corner.
The main focus is a facial portrait of a woman with short dark and light green shaded hair, green eyebrows, green eyes and green lips. She also has a grey jacket on with 3 red dots either side of the collar. This woman has very sharp facial features.
The background of the picture is black with orange pixels at random.

The pixel art style is unrefined.

In pixel art: "After" written in white text on the bottom right corner.
The main focus is a woman with shoulder length straight black hair with green hi-lights and a blunt fringe. The womans eyes are closed and we can see her green eyeshadow, with a line coming down from each eye onto her cheeks. This woman also has green lips.
The facial features on this portrait are strong, but softer than the before photo from the use of shading with light and dark pixels
The woman has a dark green top with lines of light green throughout.
The background to this portrait is black with a dark pink border.

This portrait is more refined.

Put down that spreadsheet brother, it's called casual Fridays for a reason - Jimmy (alleged Fomorian)

#indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #cosygames

In pixel art, a full length portrait of a blue squid-like creature with two eyes, one each side of it's head. They are a Fomorian from Irish mythology. The Fomorian is wearing a floral red shirt, high waisted red shorts, and white socks with black sandals.

Branded merch? In this economy??

It's more likely than you think...

What a great day at the #físgamessummit.

Thank you Ardán for letting us demo The Corner Café, the feedback has been really great and we are excited to work on what we've learned! (Yes we'll move the porta-filter)

Great to meet so many cool folks as well, ye're all brilliant!
