Hey everyone! Yep, you read that right- It’s WIP Thursday.

Personal Update

Sorry to miss WIP Wednesday yesterday so soon after setting a new schedule! The week has been a mess so far- my dog Garnet had a surprise medical issue come up and we’re still trying to figure out what it is. She’s in good spirits today but had several accidents in the house on Tuesday, which is a first. The vet said it might be a “drinking too much water” issue, so we’re managing her water intake and hoping it’s as simple as that. We’re heading back to the vet today for a follow-up and possibly a blood draw. I’ll keep you posted.

UPDATE: The vet thinks she’s experiencing some nausea and we can try normal water levels on Sunday. Garnet’s a very good girl!

Long story short, I’m going to be working hard on the asset pack today and tomorrow, and I’ll see if I can still make my own deadline. If not, then it’ll come out as soon as possible.

Impact FX Pack 1

Today I thought I’d give you a look at the anatomy of an impact effect. I don’t think I’ve done an effect breakdown like this so far, so this’ll be fun!

Here’s the finished effect, so you can see what we’re going for.

Hey everyone, I’m here for a Work-In-Progress Wednesday!

Recently I’ve been doing a lot of programming, but I’ve got the first couple effects done for the next effects pack: Super Pixel Impact FX Pack 1!

This asset pack is going to be quite a bit quicker than the other effect packs, because impact effects are pretty straightforward. I’m also experimenting with drawing particles and other elements that can be reused in future effects, which would be nice!

On the programming side of things, it’s not very flashy work… yet!

Hey everyone, thanks for your patience! I kind of got way off of my original schedule- I’ve been hard at work on a couple new programming projects. Nevertheless, the pixel art journey continues!

Super Pixel Sci-fi FX Pack 1

This asset pack includes 10 sci-fi themed animation types. Each one comes in both a large and small version, and has multiple color themes as always! Read on for a few preview GIFs!

Hey everyone, I’m here for a Work-In-Progress Wednesday!

Just a quick one because it’s a little late at night here. Going to show some more animations from the next asset pack! I’m a little behind this week but still gonna try and finish it before the weekend. If you don’t see it posted Friday, expect it early next week!

Sci-fi FX Pack 1

From top to bottom, it’s a scan effect, an explosion, and an electric zap. The scan effect will have an appear/disappear animation as well as the loop you see above. For the explosion, I really wanted to do something similar to the warp effect from the previous pack but more explosion-y. The zap is a little more full-bodied than some of my previous electric effects, and could have a variety of in-game uses like powerups, hazards, or maybe an impact effect of some kind.

That’s all for this sneak peek- I’ll see you soon with the complete asset pack!

Hey everyone, I’m here for a Work-In-Progress Wednesday!

I’m back from my little vacation- I had a great birthday week and a lot of fun over the weekend playing the new Zelda game! Still a lot more exploring to do…

Here’s the latest developments on my end:

Sci-fi FX Pack 1

I started drawing animations for the next asset pack this week. I’m really enjoying drawing effects lately, so I’m keeping the ball rolling with a pack of science fiction style animations. That’ll include a lot of sparks and electric effects, of course!

I’m also thinking about some specialized animations with start / loop / stop segments, such as a scanning reticule and a wormhole/portal. I’ll let you know in the next WIP post how it goes!

Hey everyone, I’m here for a Work-In-Progress Wednesday to show off what I’ve been working on! Another big post this week, chock full of awesome stuff!

Effects Pack 3

Continuing the Super Pixel Effects Pack series, next up is pack 3! For this pack, I’m doing some of my smoothest animation yet.

Some effect types are returning, like this juicy splatter…

…And some effect types are all-new, like this warp animation and bite animation!

I can’t wait to do the rest, they’re quite fun. Effects Pack 3 will be releasing on April 28, so stay tuned!

By the way, I was wondering- What do you guys think about a pack of just explosions? I’d like to do a bunch of different kinds, like electrical explosions, multi-explosions, explosions with shockwaves, and so on. Let me know what kind of explosions you’d like to see!
