Started Working on the Hell Biome in my game, Echeos of the HIve! Created this really cool looking portal which I'm proud of, might have it link to some story aspects.

Snow Biome Preview

Been working on the snow biome for the game, I have made some new textures so I decided to put them together to create a small preview of what the biome will look like in the game!

Feels so good to use, just added a snapping block highlighter to show off which tiles will be destroyed. Only shows with certain tools and works with controllers 🎮🎮🎮

While most of my work for my game currently is coding, I decided to create some enemies for the game :)

As character art isn't my best skill trying out different characters to see which fits best in my game and with my pixel art.

This might be one of the coolest game engines I've seen in a while! It's called Iolite. Since the API is written in C I'm currently working on a mono c# code library.

Yet again practicing my pixel art skills :) haven't had alot of time to create a piece but I sat down for the last 2 hours to create this. Trying to improve using different skills.

Started to implenent the new textures into the game engine! As you can see they are seemlessly connecting to each other (which was the plan :) ). Once all textures are replaced, I can finally remove all the old ones.

Been working on replacing the ore textures for the game, since the tile size is shrinking it was quite the challenge to get it to look good :)

Here are some more tiles I have been working on for the game. Since there is biome generation and soon to be cave biomes, having all the finished textures will make it easier. :)

Here is the lighting system completed, bug free! Light value is calculated and all light data is stored on a single byte for each tile to help with optimizations and ram usage.

Here is some old art I made, I still don't know yet where I'll be using it in the game but I think it would be cool as a boss spawner (Summons a angel boss)

Replacing old textures for my game, here are some grass textures! I think you can see the improvement in my art over the last 6 months by comparing these textures. I tried going wth a style were you can place muliple smaller tiles together to create a higher detailed texture! #pixelart #art #gamedev

I've added a realtime lighting system for my 2D game, There is now sunligh, torches, and a day and night cycle! Still a few bugs to fix, but the system is very optimized showing no slow down during gameplay :)
