I FINALLY managed to beat the RNG gods that cursed my Fire Emblem Awakening playthrough on Lunatic mode and complete the game.

While I’m pleased I managed it, it did also highlight that I will NEVER pick this game up again!


To clarify, while this is the game that got me into Fire Emblem generally, it is flawed as a tactical turn-based RPG on Lunatic mode (the enemy AI seems to be “charge at the player non-stop” regardless of where they are or if they are even in range, and there are very few static enemies). Short of creating Juggernauts out of Chrom and the Avatar, I don’t see how it’s possible to complete it.

I suspect that there are far better players out there that can do it, but I’m not going to invest the time or energy into doing so.

Another isometric tile set exploration today and I went for dirt this time. These were always going to be a bit “noisy” but I hope I’ve balanced it and still conveyed the dirt texture.

Which of the three do you prefer and what would you like to see next?🤔

If I’m going to redraw the NES version of Samus, then it feels wrong not to redraw the Metroid too.

I always preferred the incarnation in which the Metroid's had more substantial claws. I also tried to go for a swooping pose for added dynamism.

After doing the NES Peach sprite redesign yesterday, I had to do one for Samus too (I mean- how could I not ).

I’ve included an alternate design that swaps the green out for grey, for some visual interest and improved clarity.

Happy Video Game Day! 🎮

Celebrate by completing our quests!

(They'll be in your quest log until September 19th.)

I decided to go back to what I’m (perhaps) best known for and make some 1-bit isometric art.

I also thought I’d try and make a Final Fantasy Advance Tactics style tileset and grass was an obvious first choice. Which of the three do you prefer?

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Are you working on a game?

Making some art?

Practicing a song?

Something else?

I thought I’d repost my 1-bit isometric reimagining of the 5F of Pokémon Tower for #FanArtFriday, as it’s by far and away my most detailed Pokémon piece to date.

i had a lot of fun creating the sprites for this piece (and then hiding them ).

Another gaming-related post today- I managed a Maddening Mode completion of Fire Emblem: Three Houses on the Blue Lions route (generally considered the hardest route of the game).

This was challenging but, unlike Awakening, this felt fair.

Thanks to @Rolitae for suggesting making a Chocobo as part of my 1-bit isometric explorations of Final Fantasy Advance Tactics.

I couldn’t resist including a Cloud Strife sprite and Cloud riding a Chocobo sprite too (pls swipe to see those sprites).
