With exception of some minor odds and ends, the home interior sheet is finished, which means I can start on all the levels. The next house (level 9) is an old farmhouse, the kind that had a bazillion rooms


Some of the pixel art is handmade, but most is free/premade or adapted from such.

I never feel bad about using premade stuff. Look at it from the artist's point of view. True, it may not be their best work ever, maybe it's just scraps from an old game idea of their own, but they still put it out there to be seen and used. But what if no one uses it? What if no one even gives them a second look? It is still perfectly viable art that they want to see used and loved in a good way in other games.

Never feel bad about using premade stuff. Somebody made it and they want to see it used. If no one is going to use it, no one is going to make it.

There. That's my soapbox

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Doing some designing of the main village, mostly so I can get some connections in and get the next part of the opening cutscenes roughed in.

Art day today. Did a little messing around with the cupboards and some furniture. Got a wine cellar, shower and tub and such. Probably redo appliances, spiff them up a bit Once I get all the major stuff in, then I'll go through and build the levels
