I got delayed too. I've only been working on level 1 for about 3 weeks.
So I am making a video game.....
- Thread starter The Predaking
- Start date
Doing better than me at the moment, I can't seem to get out of idea phase lately. So many ideas, can never focus on anything long enough to get more than a quick proof of concept or crude gameplay mock up built before moving on to another idea. Not sure if it's an undiagnosed ADD thing or the fact that my anxiety and dysphoria have been spiking lately causing trouble focusing.
Putting some effort into finding some time to work on some game development.
I am starting on a smaller project to work on, and its supposed to be a 16 bit brawler/beat-em up. However, I am not digging my artwork I have come up with for it. It looks to me to be more 8 bit than 16 bit.

Hmm. I wonder who out there does good guides on making pixel art. Brandon James Greer is one that keeps popping up in my YouTube recommendations, but not many of his videos have interested me enough to sit through, so the algorithm hasn't started leading me further down the rabbit hole.
On a related note, speaking of YouTube, Brackeys, who was apparently one of the premier Unity tutorial guys back in the day, has announced that he'll be starting a series on Godot soon. So if anyone else out there was interested in getting into that but won't actually get around to it for a while, maybe go check him out when you do; he might have some useful material by then.

Actually, he has released his first video in his new Godot series
There are a few other pixel art tutorials on YouTube, but Brandon James Greer seems to be the most prolific. There's also techniques to generate pixel art in Blender.
is an example. Dead Cells used a similar technique for their sprites, though I think they only modeled and animated in Blender and used an internally developed tool to do the final rendering.

I am watching his channel and it has some useful information in it.
So here is some character art I am working on. Its for a character called Bits.
Here is some of my first draft for this one character:
He is basically an amorphized Gameboy that is essentially a 90s kid. The design isn't mine, it's from a youtube channel, and I wanted to incorporate it into a little brawler type game.
Design 1 and Design 2 are basically the same with design 2 getting some more shading and larger eyebrows and tongue.
Design 3 I shrunk him down a bit and made him less boxy. Still not happy with the legs, but I might work on that some more. Overall I am leaning on using design three for this project.

Here is design 3 reworked with some better legs:
