Just wanted to give you an update: I’ve been working hard on Neverway over the past year, and I’m so happy to share that the game just hit 200K wishlists on Steam, in just two months since our trailer announcement! If you haven’t checked it out yet, the Steam page is here: http://steam.neverway.co,

Hey there! With yet another Twitter exodus happening, I thought it’d be a good time to update you on my socials and links. You can now follow me on Bluesky or Mastodon. I’ve also updated my website to saint11.art (no more .org). Everything should still redirect, but if you run into any issues, just

I am very tired of social media, but there are some aspects of it that I genuinely miss. I miss when people would just post gamedev resources on the internet without thinking about algorithms or engagement. In order to try to mitigate that, I decided to host my own link aggregator website! If you he

One cool trick for making complex animations in pixel art, specially when it involves rotating or complex perspective is to use blender or other simple 3d tool to mock it up first. Let's start with a use case, I wanted to create a simple café sign that rotates, this was my initial sketch: First I tr

Some art that I made for my next game with EXOK Games, Earthblade! Let me know what you all think :)

Super happy with how it turned out! Heavily based on https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MdlXz8 It uses a mask texture generates a noise for distortion, not the fastest, but I like the effect so far! You can see the actual shader code here: https://gist.github.com/saint11/8174e076c83e1f4b460b0b70d7644e9e

My game is slowly becoming more and more a cursed farming sim/town builder and honestly we're okay with that. Do you like the art style direction so far?

Isa, Davey, Ryan, and I created a game for Ludum Dare! You can play it here: https://saint11.itch.io/neo-city-express. The source code is also available here: https://github.com/isadorasophia/neocityexpress. It's licensed under MIT, meaning you're free to use the assets as you wish. This was our fir

I wrote an article about this! Check it out here: https://saint11.org/blog/consistency/ Edit: Fixed the link!

Little chest animation I won't use anymore. It's a simple animation but uses a lot of classic animation principles like easing, anticipation and "squash and stretch". You can also use that in a game or however you want, it's released under public domain. This work is free of known copyright restrict

Quick tip on a pixel art technique that I really like. This is usually one of the first things that I notice when looking at beginners pixel art, since it's not very intuitive. Having everything aligned can be bad because it creates a secondary resolution on top of your main one. For example, 2x2 or

All right, finally my tabletop RPG is "done"! There's still a lot of room for growth, but I'll let it sit for a while for no. You can get the whole rulebook for free here: https://saint11.org/dead_weight/ It also includes a online dice roller/chat room: https://deaddice.page/ Let me know if you have

Long story short, I couldn't make Roll20 do the things I wanted so I made my own dice roller for my RPG system! (I'm still using Rol20 for the map stuff) Basically is just an online dice roller and chat room where you can re-roll specific dice. Feel free to use it and please let me know if anything

Hi there! I've been working for a couple weeks on a new tabletop RPG project. The idea is to make a OSR inspired system, but with a modern ruleset. It includes both a rule system and a world. It will be free and released under Creative Commons and supported by Patreon, like most things I do. All the

After working on my current project, Scars for a bit too long I think I need a couple weeks break, so I decided to continue my series of articles "Pixel Art for Beginners". First I decided to port them from Medium to my website. That's way more work than I was anticipating, but it will pay off in th

I've been using Procreate to explore some ideas and try new styles. These can also be considered concept art for my side project (the medic game), they are all about trying to visualize how the game world would work. As always thank you for the support!

Now you can watch my last year's talk at Full Indie Summit about the postmortem art of Celeste! I talk a bit more about my process for making and implementing pixel art for the game and also answer some questions the public had. Feel free to ask me anything in the comment session below! I'll reply a

Here's some screenshots of my latest prototype. I've been working on it while streaming too, feel free to join and ask questions in my Twitch channel I'm streaming every Saturday at 11:30 am (GMT-8) and some Wednesdays after 6pm too! See you there! <3

Here's my second illustration inspired by Clark Ashton Smith's work. This one is from the short story "The Weaver in the Vault", hope you like it! By the way, this illustration is under creative commons, so feel free to use it anywhere you want, as long as credit is given. There's a version without

Illustration I made inspired by "Isle of the Torturers" by Clark Ashton Smith. It's a very dark and eerie story that I read recently and sparked my interested in the author. I'm working on another illustration on this same style now, based on the story called "The Weaver in the Vault". Here's a snea

Just a quick 1-page adventure that I did on my iPad for fun. If you try it, let me know! There's a PDF attached with all rooms and monster descriptions using The Black Hack system, but it's probably very easy to convert it to D&D or anything else. I didn't playtested it, though, so it's probably ver

I really like drawing resources. I don't know why, but I think imagining random things that games can use is extremely fun, so I decided to use my free time on the iPad to draw some random resources on Procreate! The icons here are all under the CC0 licence, which means you can do whatever you want

For those who didn't know, I've just moved to Vancouver last week! Moving with 3 cats is being very intense and exhausting, so that's why I wasn't able to make any tutorials for this past month. Moving to a different country is even more work than I was expecting. The good news is that I'm almost se

Hey there! Today I want to announce a little tool that I'm making to help me (and anyone else) with something I struggle with a lot: color palettes. For now it only generates simple randomized 16-color palettes optimized for pixel art, but in the future I want it to become a much bigger and a multi-

And here's the number 4 again :D Well, I just upgraded the previous article to #5 and now shading is the new #4. I think I'll actually do this a lot, so the whole series have a better flow to it. I'm also planning, in the future, to review the whole thing and switch them around even more for more co

And again, here's another pixel art article! I went with some more advanced topics with this one, so maybe I'll make some extra articles about simpler topics and order them before this #4 article. Here's the link: https://medium.com/pixel-grimoire/how-to-start-making-pixel-art-4-ff4bfcd2d085 As alwa

Here's some simple tips and tricks for making top-down 2D games. Always take extra care with the colliders and break down objects to individual pieces. Here's some other top down tutorials that might be helpful too: Walk Cycle Run Cycle Houses Attack animation

If you have any other theme ideas, please let me know in the comments! As always, thank you so much for your support! <3

Here's my take on how I would make a top down attack animation. I only made one direction, and I can try making more in the future, but I don't think it's necessary, just follow the same logic. Imagine a the legs, torso and head as layered stacks and they should slide in the direction of the attack.

Here's some tips and tricks about drawing in the isometric perspective, I decided to call this "part 1" because I think this is a really big topic with a lot of room to explore. Also, check it out this great cheat sheet, it helped me a lot while making this tutorial: http://www.dennisbusch.de/knowho
