Every adventuring party needs a little place to rest up at out in the wilderness: I have been drawing up some campsite/forest assets this week.

This is not AI. I know it took too long and isn't perfect but I enjoyed doing it myself and I'm happy with how it turned out 😊

I don't know if I missed #TeaseYaGame but just in case! Lair of the Leviathan is an open world crpg inspired by classic western games of the past. Everything is hand drawn, we use no procedural generation and there is a huge open world to explore.

The towns in Lair are finally starting to feel a little more alive this week. I hope everyone has had a good week and a wonderful weekend.

I did a little game mockup of my favourite super nintendo game over the weekend, Shadowrun. It's one of the few games I do a yearly play through of.

Be careful with conveniently placed chests! Playing around with a mimic enemy.

Today I have been playing around with drawing up and adding some birds to add a bit of flavour to the town maps.

I haven't done #PortfolioDay before. I don't know if I'm much of an artist but this is some of the art from my game, Lair of the Leviathan.

Are we accidentally making a pixel art Baldur's Gate?? When I originally started Lair I had set out to make a successor to the old Goldbox games but the further we get into things the more it is feeling like playing Baldur's Gate (1 and 2) Oliver put in new shadows today, they no longer overlap and I have also started working on up and down walking animations for the player figurines (a lot of work and testing my limited drawing abilities!)

People often ask how I draw the world map for the game and the answer is - pixel by pixel. Over the weekend I have been going over the starting area of the map improving things and adding a little more colour and detail.

Let's take a walk through town! A lot of people weren't happy about the sprite scaling so I have redrawn the party and npcs to be at the right scale to the town. It is still a learning experience drawing at this size so hopefully I can improve as things go along.

I have started adding in some Npcs and animals to the towns. However, in order to keep the animations/detail smooth I have scaled them down by 50 percent from the original size they were drawn at resulting in different sized pixel art (oh no, breaking the golden rule!!) My question is: Is it super noticeable or looks bad? The reason for scaling down was to use the same party sprites that we are using from the dungeons/combat so we can keep everything consistent for each party member among the world map, towns and dungeons.

Working on drawing my the next town for Lair, pixel by pixel. It might not look like it from the zoomed out pictures but there is a lot of detail and these take a really long time.
