So I've been a little quiet, but with good reason! After talking about it for ages with two of my friends, we have finally decided to make a full game!

Having found some success in a game jam, we are taking this idea and further developing it.

I will be heading the pixel art and animation of the game. Pixel art is something I've never seriously taken on before, and in the short time I've been doing it properly I've found it to be an amazing new hobby.

We've given ourselves 3 years to finish the game. At the very least, we want to come away from it having massively levelled up our skills. We're building the whole thing in the Godot engine. It's a great little engine, especially for 2D games.

I won't reveal too much about the game as it's very early days, but below are my early experiments. I'm going to try and track my progress here on Newgrounds!

I'm also delighted that I got my first ever art frontpage with my coral reef experiment! I'm currently using it as a background to experiment with lighting, bubble animations, and fish animations.

One thing I would say is I now have an even greater respect for the people who do this kinda work all the time.

Any watch this space!
