1. Some cleaned-up idle animations. I've been trying to post more polished work on pixeljoint lately. http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/120401.htm.Tell me what you think.

2. This one's a dance I've shown before, but with proper clean-up and color palette.  Posted on pixeljoint at http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/120398.htm ….  Tell me what you think.

3. This one was really fun. I put a lot of work into it. http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/120780.htm

4. Here's a behind-the-scenes process on how I made this animation. If I setup a patreon for pixel animation stuff, would anyone support it? Just curious.

When I saw @iLkKke's pixel design, I just had to pop the layers into my voxel app as a test. I just converted the layers into my voxel app as a test. Original art by @iLkKke as seen here: https://twitter.com/iLkKke/status/964450412270043137 …

Please check out their work!

A little divergent experiment. Working on a voxel program that renders voxels as 2D sprites instead of cubes. Could be useful for a lot of neat effects. #indiedev #gamedev #gamedesign #TossUPdev #conceptart #screenshotsaturday #voxelart #voxels #voxel #pixelart

Also, the sprites are positioned with just math, so its compatible with 2D engines. Albeit probably not fully optimized like a full 3D engine. And also yes, the voxels can be replaced with Sonic's RINGS or other images.

The voxel editor works with Slices. So theoretically you could drop some numbered PNGs or a GIF into it, and it would create a model from the frames.

Also pictured above are the voxel editor, and the early prototype which was just simple 2D Pixel editor. I’ve called the voxels “vexels” here because they use 2D sprites + 3D math to give the effect, much like the old Vectorman games. I was originally calling the program DrawSlice 3D, but I am leaning toward Vexedit.

Showcasing some concept art. @jessasbrain's character Halima. And a concept for an area simply called Nega Zone right now. Also the evil doppelganger Malicen. #indiedev #gamedev #gamedesign #TossUPdev #conceptart #screenshotsaturday

New roll ability: gotta go fast!

I think I got animation for this faceplant just right.

Some Halloween themed icons for TossUP. I’ve been working on a lot behind the scenes, but I felt compelled to draw these up.

Working on an inventory system. Items are FIFO order.

Early concept art for main characters. #Alison would be the 5th.

Working on a trippy effect. This place looks familiar… #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #tossupdev #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamelover

At this point, most of the character animation is done. There’s a few things behind the scenes that I’m working on, not yet ready to show.

A simple turn animation. Much more fluid now! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #TossUPdev #pixelart

A bunch of GIF screenshots today:

Working on new running animation.

Alison, cornered, losing her mind. (wall hitting animation)

Close up on the face-smash animation.

New ability, charged high-jump!

Working on drop-through platforms. Will add proper animation later.
