We will enter the battle royale of Steam Next Fest this week with Choo Choo Defenders, our tiny "tower defense on rails"-game! It's been a blast to work on, and hopefully it will be a blast to play as well!

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Me and Teddy have been working on a small project called "Choo Choo Defenders" and we just released a demo for it on Steam! If you're into chill tower defense-esque games, with a hint of puzzling mixed in, wrapped in some sweet pixel art, you should check it out!

Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa. 4 colors, pixelart

Bunch of screens from a "none combat metriodvania" me and Teddy worked on as a first Godot project. The scope got a bit too big and complicated so we decided to put it on ice, but I still like the visuals a lot!

Any game companies need a pixel art animator? Worked on atomicrops, that new power ranger game, my familiar and a bunch of other companies. 10 years of experience. Non newbies appreciated.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Made a little map mockup using this super spooky tileset I've just finished working on! This is for the overworld part of the (still unnamed) realm of the harpies, a horror-themed zone that the characters will visit during the middle section of the game. #pixelart #gamedev

Earlier this year I released "Chthonic Masonry", a 2-bit (4 color) grayscale 16x16 pixel tileset, primarily intended for Gameboy-like games, but also looking pretty nice with added colors adapted to GBC :) I plan to update it with even more stuff! Check it out here! mrmotarius.itch.io/chthonic
