I've made a tumblr where I'm going to be posting the development of my game. You can find it here. I'm going to be posting regularly as I go through the development process. Nothing is of limits. I'll do pencil drawings, pixels, I'll post game play vids etc etc. If you are into looking at that stuff please follow and check it out!

I would also like to cross post my work here since I know everyone here appreciates pixel designs.

I figured I would post this here mock up I have for a game I've been developing for a few years now. I've been in pre-production for awhile but I don't mind because the game will be done when it's done.  Anyway yeah so this is just an idea of how I could potential build one of my levels. I'm half satisfied but I know that I don't know close to enough about background design in order to feel like it's amazing. My goal is to build a living breathing environment and not a bunch of hodge podged pieces that snap together. It's not easy because building levels really requires some sort of tile feature. For example the barrels aren't in a 32x32 tile they span 2 32x32 tiles but if I copy and paste it space included it will snap to my 32x32 grid perfectly. I would appreciate any tips, tricks or comments!

Oh and here is a video of WIP gameplay

I have no idea if it's okay to post to gameplay vids or tumblrs so if it isn't please let me know.
