Devlog 3: I'm literally holding myself back from showing off these redesigns

I recently finished some redesigns for the tilemap to move from 8x8 to 16x16, still need to redesign the player (which was already 16x16, but I want a better design) and a few other objects so all the art has the same level of detail, which is very important for pixel art. Have you ever seen those flash games that have a fantastic-looking player, in something like 32x32 pixel art, but then 8x8 tiles scaled up to the same size? That's what I was doing with my game.

I'm also now debating whether I should redesign the title to be pixel art or keep the high-res look, the title will only be on the title screen (obviously) so I was thinking of just keeping the title screen's design separate from the gameplay's design and have everything there be high-res.

Anyway, I still hope to see you all in pitch black.

But I ask, what's a few more for a world without it?"

Hey, it's my birthday! And since I'm already getting some stuff from my family, I thought I'd give you all something

I don't like the snow, but it reminds me of home."

I'm trying to find a way to redesign the Eye to be more creepy. This art is not meant to be a final design, I'm not proud of it, I was focusing on the lightning, but an idea I had while making it was adding spider legs
