As requested by some, this post will be a dedicated place to view the pixel art illustrations I made for Game Jolt (with a couple bonuses included).

Each of them were first created in GIMP, and then I vectored each value as a separate layer in Inkscape.


Converting each illustration to a vector format was required in order for the coloured pixels to change according to a user's chosen theme. Vector formats can also be a lot smaller in file size if properly optimized.

To prevent seams from appearing between the vectored pixels, I would extend shapes on lower layers so that shapes on higher layers would overlap. This could be a somewhat mind-numbing process, so I had to work hard to stay focused!

Here's what each layer looked like as they stacked higher, finally reaching the clean finished vector:

@Hapu actually created a tool that helped me test and make sure the finished vectors worked properly with user-chosen themes. Thanks again, buddy!

For a very quick look (SEIZURE WARNING, and loud music!) at the entire process, see the video here.

Big thanks to my top 10 supporters during June, and everyone else!

Also, new stickers on the way, just been crazy busy (full-time caregiving, public speech, volunteer work, tutoring, etc.). Hope to have them ready some time next week.

Lots of love!

Here is a teaser for a brand new project!

I just think this design is soooo cute

I catch the beeg feesh!

Hope the best for this game. Sadly, even though I didn't have any lag issues like others have, I couldn't really enjoy it, but it's still very early in development, so I'm not judging it!
