Hello!
I invite you to participate in the second "Pixel Asset Pack" jam where you can have a rest of making games and just a make an art of it :)
They are very quality so it you can just not to submit the pack to the jam buy upload it as an asset pack on itch.
I understand your concerns. Your thinking is very correct but there some "but's":
So I just decided to kill two rabits with one shot. The elementals part is what I wanted to draw and just decided to add it because it is something like theme while the main "theme" of the jam is restriction
The vibrant colors is really a challenge concretely for you. I noticed that you usually avoid them but it is a jam and as I noticed you usually like drawing challenges so I added it as another point
Auto portrait of account portrait :D
What is it? I see a bird, mermaid and deer but what is on the first image? Goblin or whatever it is...? I don't know, it doesn't look like any demon or something like any lower infernal creatures.... At the same time it doesn't look like higher infernal creature so what is it?
I've just known about this jam from you. I read rules and it seems that I won't do anything. Why? Just art must be submitted to discord. I also don't understand difference between "animation" and "standalone artwork" but to ask I need to use discord... I think I can try to do another parallax background for specified resolution, hope it will be better than the mountains
Game making (and it seems that assets creation too) isn't really for me. I enjoy it but can't imagine what to do or just dont want to do something... Jams page say that I joined 37 jams. And submitted to 8 but half of them my own pixel art asset pack jam so.... Most likely it will be one more joined and forgotten jam
3 packs? I don't know. I usually have 0 and I've never worked on 2 packs at the same time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just formally github workspaces is an editor but just in browser... About emoji. I see here a pig nose which it is supposed to be. Do you see here pink smile? Great, it seems that you have a great imagination and very easy to inspire (which can lead to many unfinished packs but it is still great ;)
And about emojis... It is text object which is rendered by application just like different fonts. So it isn't "cross platform"
Slime... Hmmm... I hope slime as platformer character?
