Nice! I really love that we had similar ideas!

So this is made using Blender and a 3D software called PicoCAD2. I am part of alpha testing the PicoCAD2 software before release, and I just learned that the software will be released on the 16th of this month on Steam.

It is a 3D modeller, 3D texturer,  and 3D animator, all with a lowpoly and pixel focus. So, the dithering is native to the software's shading, and then the program exports it as a GIF.

Really glad you liked it, thank you for your kind words!

You really accomplished something great! Be proud for sure

I like your color palette. I would love to see more characters in this minimalist style.
The helmet is really unique! Genuinely love it.

If you're looking for another challenge to practice, I recommend creating 3 more unique helmet designs and then creating minimalist characters around those designs.

I have a friend I will ask if they want to eat my art, it's honestly a high compliment. 

Please, don't eat legos though.

Same hat!

Love a good warp drive, and I love the details of your ship moving, it really conveys speed. Focal point is awesome and so are the light trails. Great work!

I think you chose to do something very personal to you, some of the best art comes from that kind of place.

This has a lot of vision and execution. To make this within the jam is very impressive

I can feel the journey on this one, the personalities, coming of age, and already dealing with a challenge.

The sun setting, there's a moment of exploration captured and the often overlooked challenges with friends.

I like how you made different textures for the different biomes, good attention to details

Colors and framing elements are really awesome!

Gotta love a good jellyfish

I can't say I should explore the glowing hole in the ground, but I know there's a quest that starts if I do.

I love the lighting functionslike a heartbeat, love the inner journey

You know, you might be right

Great mood!

The silhouette is a stunning vision.
I wish the head peaked juuust a bit into the sun, the hat gets a bit lost against the mountain line

Thumbnails can be edited during the voting period on itch, as long as you aren't changing the art with edits it should be fine.

I can hear the "HOYYYY"

The color and shape of everything is spot on!

So much story and color, I love this piece

All hope is lost... we were warned this would happen.

You did it!

There is so much I love about this.
The shelves slowly losing everything, the different poses, how adorable and unbothered this little monster is.

Really so much vision and follow-through, is it personal love letter to your own cat?
You tell a great tale, either way

Feels surreal, love the colors!

Gotta love a looooong scarf! 💝💝

I know it isn't animated, but I can imagine it so clearly. Beautiful work!

The will for exploration is needed to fight a king!

💖

I'm surprised more people didn't make cats!
They are the biggest explorers!

You really capture that whimsy that feeling with focal point and a great lil' tail flick

Getting some real Secret of Nimh vibes here!
Amazing colors, your character designs are top notch!

The soft anti-aliasing is really amazing next to the rainbow of colors in the background.
I almost missed the animation and WOW, great work!

The sky is a soft focal point, but with the gradient and the characters facing towards the sky, it becomes a focal point as a sense of exploration. You captured something magical ✨✨

Very cute!
I can imagine a cute lil' isometric exploration game.

Ever play the Megaman Battle Network series? I feel this is the kind of detail they have in the real world.

Oh man, this reminds me of a couple of games!

I love the shape you capture with the tower/island.
It's all very stylized, and the clouds are very cool

I can feel the vision!
A building with overgrown vines, there's something that draws the mind in with that idea.

The tree helps a bunch with scale, and you did a lot with a limited amount of pixels.
Good stuff!

100% this entry has a story, I would love to know through another artpiece what brought the protagonist to that moment!

I think this has a great sense of scale and perspective!
Multiple elements are hard to pull off, I do think the stars cluttered the break in the top right but I loved the vision when I noticed it.

I was thinking about Kraken a joke, but the art is too good!

This really gives me Monkey Island vibes.
It's a shame we could only do 128x128, I feel there's a whole world to explore here

I feel a lot of creative vision in this, emotion through presentation and color.

The silhouette - foreground to background is strong
We slay the monsters face.

Love the colors, such a nice waterfall!
Reminds me a lot of Sonic

Data files is turning into my favorite use of the theme, I love how creative it is to make icons.
Great work!

There's something deeply magical about self-exploration.

I love your use of color and how you fill the page. 
Great hanging out this weekend, stay creative!

I remember watching you work in VC, and I just kept thinking I was looking into Jupiter.

A cosmic peace. Great feeling and texture.

I love this post! I was in charge of the plot. It's been a while, but I vaguely remember Garthe referring to Michael as "brother" in the show while we were making this game, so I ran with it.

This is a great callout because it was a deliberate choice of creative liberty. While we were allowed access to the IP during the competition, I had also considered the fact that Garthe was considered dead after falling off the cliff at the end of his episode. I saw it as a rare chance to stage a rematch between the two in an IP that may never be revisited.

Hey this is cute!
