PIXEL Moon Tutorial - Amiga - Brilliance II

PIXEL Moon Tutorial

If you want to learn how to draw Pixel art, one way is to copy another design. In this tutorial after an Amigan requested some help on an Amiga Facebook site, I decided to quickly create this tutorial to help on how to approach creating some Pixel Art. 

A more detailed posting accompanies this video on my Patreon Blog (free) as well as the source files.

Boss Machine - Crater Level :)

Hi Everyone,

A quick post showing what I will be working on today.  Will post more updates in this post. 

- First I need to create the parallax splits (see the lines at either end of the image).
- Second I need to clean up the craters so they correctly align into the parallax and don't get cut up when parallax is moving.
- Export each split into 16 colours.

- a few other clean ups might happen during the process.

Will also show some other ideas of how this level will work. If you would like to follow the process please visit my blog

NEONworld - free AMIGA game assets

 Hey Everyone,

Want to build your own Amiga game but don't have assets, we'll I decided create assets ready to use and build a game in your favourite engine or your own.  The graphics are OCS and 16 colours, this should cover every Amiga platform including the very first Amiga 1000.

I plan to do more game assets for people to play with over time. (I have other assets such as Tetris clone, and Space Invaders, but newer ideas will come)

This screenshot shows the example map created in "Tiled" and the complete game assets in the bottom right section.

If your interested in future please read the details and grab the assets from my patreon site. (zip file)

https://www.patreon.com/posts/neonworld-2020-42472876

The idea is to encourage more people to play around with the newer engines such as RedPill, Scorpion or work on their own. 

P.S. The only condition is the game is free and add credits and links back to me :)
If you enjoy what I do, please consider becoming a Patreon or send a Beer :)
