crushed the skipping stroke bug and got it registered with the line. it’s fun to use already. #1bit #1bitart #solodev #pixelart #oc #gamedev #lowres

next i will tackle the odd bug of the stroke detail only showing up when the pen nib is moving quickly #1bit #1bitart #solodev #pixelart #oc #gamedev #lowres

more work on the pixel drawing app. the question mark buttons will be slots for user created patterns. @sampsonboatco #tallyho #1bit #1bitart #solodev #pixelart #oc #gamedev #lowres

i like the simple lemon shape more than the grapes relying on extra detail. also tweaked the hat and oak leaf. if i drop the cozy set, then the skull is the only one left with internal details… #oc #1bit #1bitart #pixelart #lowres #gamedev

drawing with pixels is so fun. i doubt i’ll ever finish the playdate game i was making, but i did have a good time with these sprites. #oc #1bit #1bitart #pixelart #lowres #gamedev

Sharp X68000's Human68k operating system has the most pleasant background colour for its desktop. instead of going with harsh (255, 255, 255) white, it uses a much more pleasant off-white (208, 192, 176) that comes from the orange segment of the palette.

i am playing déjà vu for the first time and i seriously think i missed out on a crucial childhood experience

i don't think i've ever seen this documented anywhere, so here goes:

Myst was built with Apple Hypercard, using a ton of third-party extensions to pull off an extremely atmospheric first person experience.

what is less known is that because Myst is a hypercard stack, it is possible to load the game in black & white mode despite color being a stated system requirement. the result are scenes that have been dithered and posterized from 8-bit colour, down to 1-bit. they look almost like a silhouetted photograph of a georges seurat painting, eery and beautiful in their own way.

My first #1bit 32 x 32px pixel art.
Of course, it had to be a Game boy
