Greenhouse Tileset (Interior)

Hello! Today's post is based on a patron request.

I've seen this request for a greenhouse for a couple months now... I had a hard time imagining how to actually put it together... see, my first idea was that it'd be some sort of see-through frame that the player would walk underneath. But that's... kinda weird... So I've been putting off this request for a while.

Today, I sat down to fig...

Elements Final Preview

Hey guys, I have a BIG elements preview today-- planned to be the final preview before the actual release sometime in mid-December.

First off-- my buddy fmoo put together a special aseprite script that speeds up the export process. This is huge, it'll save me an insane amount of time vs aligning thousands of sprites in Photoshop. 

Today's sheets were exported using that script. You can download the...

Jubilee on itch (download for top-tier)

This post is just to give access to the game for high-tier patrons.

Okay... I've talked about this game enough. You're probably sick of Jubilee posts by this point 😅

As promised, you get access to everything that I release. That includes full games.

Today I put the game up on itch, now that the initial Steam launch sale...

Monster's Belly Set Release

Hello! Something smells gross...

Over the past month or so, I've released this set as a series of regular patron updates. So today's post is really no surprise.

If you've kept up with all of the releases so far, then there's no new content here. Everything is compiled together into a convenient set, so if you haven't grabbed it yet, now's a good chance.

Another Inside Belly expansion

Wriggling tentacles... I mean... Hello! I hope you had a good weekend. :)

This should be the last update with Inside-Belly stuff. I wanted to add a few more extras before compiling it into a release for itch-- just some more variety in the tileset and some more animations that you can use to make interactive elements.

First up, there are some animated nerve-tentacles<...

Jubilee released!

Yesterday I've finally released my first full game on Steam!

It's a platform game-- I've posted about it before, so this isn't a surprise.

I know that my patrons are a different kind of audience than those who might dig this game (you're here because you're working on games of your own, after all!) -- but I felt like I couldn't go without making a post for the release. :shrug: View Post

Cell and Bacteria Monsters

Hello! These sprites are from ideas based on patron suggestions.

After last week's giant heart, today's release might be our last little addition to the Inside the Monster's Belly series.

These sprites, designed based on various ...

TF Char 2-1 tool animation set

Hello! I have a bunch of character animations for you today.

The 2-1 character is my archetypal hero sprite for the original TF set, so he's a good choice to animate for these-- and if you are using the animation bases for other sprites, then maybe this will help as a reference to how I adapted a character onto the base.

All of the animations here use previously-released TF bases. The an...

Jubilee TF Sprite

Hello! Today's release is one that I found really fun personally to make.

Today's sprite is based on the main character from my upcoming platformer game Jubilee. I recreated her in the Time Fantasy style.

Even though she's based on a character from my game, you can use the sprite any way you want in your own project, just like any other sprite that I release. I ...

Hello! I hope you're having a fantastic SPOOKTOBER. I have something fun today.

I've released some graphics before for the Day of the Dead holiday. Today's release could fit into that theme.

Elements Char Pieces Progress

Hello! Every time I write up one of these, it seems to turn into a massive essay... I'm going to try to keep this one focused on images... though we'll see how well goes........ 🙄

Over the past few weeks since the previous preview post, I've been working on the character asset pieces that will make up the upcoming elements pack.

Today I want to share some of these with you. ...

More Inside Belly Tiles

Hello! I have one more small expansion add-on for this set.

This is a tile add-on that will give the set a little more flexibility. The most notable part of today's release is the bridges. They're designed to look like a cluster of veins, and the player can use them to cross those dangerous pits.

Personally I think that this is a cool idea because it allows for a different section of the...

Cliff Drop Tiles

Hello! I have a small bonus release this morning.

This isn't the post I had scheduled for this week-- that will be tomorrow. Today's release is just a little extra. I made this as an example for someone last night. Nothing fancy, but you might have a use for it.

The tiles show a small patch of dirt and some erosion at the top of the cliff-- the idea is to signal a place where the player ...

Inside Belly Animated Extras

Hello! I'm back with some new stuff for you today!

Last week I shared this set of graphics based on the classic inside-the-monster's-belly-dungeon. Today I'm back with some extras to expand on that set.

Today's graphics are some animations that will help you add some extra interactivity to the m...

SV Battler Cowboy

Howdy! Today's release is based on a suggestion from a patron.

This character is based on the cowboy from the "modern1" character sheet in the Future Fantasy expansion pack.

He has a unique weapon: his main attack is a whip, and his secondary weapon is a revolver. I hope that you find this sheet to be u...

Inside the Monster's Belly

Hello! Today's release is very big! It's based on a popular idea that's been showing up in the patron requests for a long time now...

This is a much bigger release than the usual ones that I share every week, so I've set this post to be a special reward for only patrons at the 5-tier and higher.

Eww... gross... It stinks in here! Don't step in the stomach acid!

Crystal Shrines

Hello! Today's release is based on a patron request.

I've never played Diablo myself, but after seeing this patron request, I looked up some images of Diablo's shrines. Instead of copying them directly, I took the general idea and tried to make something new that would add to the Time Fantasy style. 

I can see them being used in a bunch of different ways. From a decorative statu...

Bubble Bath Tiles

Hello! Today's release is based on one of the patron requests from last month.

I tried to make this bathtub one that could make sense in the classic fantasy setting-- so no faucet: the servants fill up the tub with hot water using those wash buckets. I think that's how it worked... based on what I've seen on TV... >_>

Like all of my tile add-ons, these are arranged in a simple grid so that you ca...

Sprite Sheet Formatting Feedback thread

Hello! Today's post has no new graphics-- instead I'm asking for your suggestions.

You're aware that I've spent a lot of time over the past few weeks finalizing the elements base, structure, and animations. For reference, here are the previous two progress posts:

Wolf Pack Update: Downed Sprites

Hello! Today's update is based on a popular patron request.

Awww-- aren't they cute?

Today's release is a simple update to the Wolf Pack, with two new frames that provide more poses for the wolves. One of the poses is a frame that could work for a KO/dead pose or sleeping; while the other pose is the sleepy-...

I told you yesterday that I was gonna have this for you today. Sorry for the little delay. Anyways, let's dive into it:

elements update preview tomorrow

Hello. 

I was planning on another elements progress update today, because I made massive progress this week.

(this is planned to be the final preview/progress/feedback thread on the animations and sprite base-- after this I'm on schedule to jam out the individual sprites!)

But my mom had trouble with her vehicle and I spent most of the afternoon driving her, and then dropping her off to pick up her car at the shop. So I didn't have the time I planned to write u...

You'll remember these robed cultist sprites from yesterday. They seem pretty popular.

Based on a suggestion, I went back and put together a quick color variation, so you can have some more options.
