Pixel Art

Pixel art, or PIXAL ART!!!11oneoneas it was known in the turn of the 21st century, is something I've been doing on and off since 2003, back when a wacky Russian game translator created an english language hack for the software called RPG Maker 2000. I was quite active in the community that sprung around it, although their time under the sun was short.

Ever since then, I've been working with pixel art, including but not limited to just RPGMaker games over the years. Sure, they were fun to practice with, but pixel art has a lot of applications in a variety of games and asset creation as well. It was a pleasant start, which I've branched out to a variety of different creative endeavors which actually come in handy when it comes to game development. Take a look-see at the best ones I have.

It's the Resident Evil 4 Merchant!

GUI and Game Asset production

In early 2003, I started out with edits - but by 2006, I was handling full on GUI and Game Asset production, including but not limited to game objects, display icons and a variety of customized resources for the game devs of that era. It got me in some hot water when I made resources that were so much in high demand that theft wars were a thing. Those were good times, but sadly, none of those drama-filled websites survive to this day.

But what DOES survive are my carefully-stored resources. Look at some of the choicest bits.

The planet Earth, now animated!



A set of game bars, made for a friend. Blank one as a template, followed by health, stamina and magic.

I didn't stop at that, though. Over time, I moved on to Flash MX2004, and Flash CS4 - adding further tools to my then-retro toolset.

I called it 'a little too much tacticool'.

Graphics

Not content with just designing GUI elements and items, I started dabbling with complete graphics design. It was a difficult jump, but with better equipment and time, I managed to start working on actual graphics.

Game Development

Making the jump to fully making games without using external resources has been a challenge, but one that's worth it. I have quite the collection of projects released over the years that you can play here. While I have been making games since 2003, it hasn't been a solid career, with IRL interruptions often getting in the way of game dev as a full-time job. Recently, it's gotten to be less of a problem.

Have a look-see at some of my best projects.

Sticker Tycoon
A simple business sim I made, inspired by real-world events. No, really. This happened.

The player starts with minimal resources aside from a large order of sticker paper.


The player can make money through part-time work, bank investments and selling stickers in the mall. Later on, phone orders become the mainstay of your empire.


As the game continues, the player can upgrade ther operations, invest in the bank and upgrade the work space from a small sitting room hobby to a full-time operational hub.

Creative Writing

Over the years, I've also dabbled in some level of creative writing. In short, I'm willing to handle writing reviews, proofreading and even ghostwriting if your offer's really good.

Furthermore, I've also started writing up tabletop RPG books for my own amusement. If you see something you'd like, feel free to take a look - who knows, maybe you'll get the urge to do some really good writing after setting off on an adventure of your own?

Project Management

This is something I've started doing very recently. As my IRL job involves the same, I thought; why not provide the same service to people who really need motivation, tools and guidance in their own projects? From motivation and advice, to helping you manage your time and hitting those goals you've set for yourself, I can do that.
