Mmm... I changed my mind. This one's better.


Soooo, this is basically all the progress I've made since the last time I posted here This little project's taken a back seat at the moment while I slowly sort my life out, but I'll be back chipping away at it again as soon as I stop feeling guilty about having free time!

I went all the way back to the drawing board in the end, after I looked through a bunch of things I drew right before I gave up on art because I sucked, was never improving and would never develop my own style.

I actually think those old drawings were pretty good, it's obvious I was getting better with each one, and they distinctly all share a style. Who'd have ever thunk?

So I had a go at re-capturing it while I was trying to re-learn how to even just do a rough sketch, and ended up here. The short one's a first draft of the soon-to-be-very-tiny top down sprite version, whose running animation I absolutely will not overcomplicate to the point of butchery this time.

I still don't know what I'll end up settling on, but I do like this version way better!

Pchaa pchaaa!

Finally! an asset for this actual game instead of an old, unrelated one! I kind of hate it she keeps going momentarily bald, and how have I made her legs so weird, and I really need to make it transition nicer between directions... but it's a start!

@ElPichon 's Chunky JUMP! is a survival-horror platformer where you must survive through the night on your BIRD BOY.

But beware... the Ghabbit is hunting and you must restore power before it's too late!

Play the Demo before March 1: https://bit.ly/ChunkyJump

Oh no... time has accidentally happened. Again. And now I have to totally restart the art direction because my style is more like this and not really anything like the sprite I drew so now I kind of hate it.

AETHUS is a story-driven survival-crafting game about carving out a future from the ruins of corporate greed.

The award-winning game is also part of Steam Next Fest!

Play the demo now: https://bit.ly/AETHUS

Waaay better. Also, wriggly physics hair! She'll get an idle animation and even wrigglier hair eventually, but now I've fixed all the rendering bugs and remembered how to animate, maybe it's time to start adding content... can't avoid it forever, right?

I used to be ok at this but now I kind of suck. They really should make it so skills don't degrade over time and we can put them in a box and never think about them again for half a decade with no consequences. #pixelart #gamedev #GIMP
