I do weekly behind-the-scenes videos on Youtube, game related posts on
a City-builder meets real-life action game blend! And I also posted a new video on the next game I'm working on.Might be a bit of a gimicky game, but those can be lots of fun, especially if it has some sort of (local)multiplayer mode! I got hit by this game in my timeline, and it looks chaotic, funny, and interesting.Juan is working on an endless-runner game - even though I think the genre is a bit "done" this one does look amazing!.Nathan is about to release BouncyBoi in Puzzle Land and it looks to be a very happy game!.Talk to you in the next Orangepixel email! Link round upĪlright, quick link round up, these are mostly interesting things I see fly by on my twitter timeline, but this time also a links from developers who contacted me directly after my shout out for interesting games, so let's highlight a few: Got some fun behind-the-scenes exclusive stories left for the next couple of mails! Maybe talk a bit about the whole console-porting partnership I have for all the Orangepixel games?! So if you want to do fan-art for your favorite game or developer, then always go for it, because it might just lead you to a paid gig and maybe some nice exposure for your skills - this could be pixel-art, highres-art, fan-fiction, anything really! there is actually more fan-art that was dropped on the Discord many months ago, and I also contacted that person and we made some very exclusive of the art which will be distributed in the big-box version ! This art will be used for the Big-box version of the game, and a trimmed down version is used on all the store pages, the in-game interface, and marketing efforts. So the guys at Apogee (Residual's publisher) started looking for some talented artists, and as most people know, the best place for this is Artstation or Deviantart, and we found an artist with a perfect style for the art we needed:
the game evolved and grew a lot in the months after, and now that we are nearing release, it felt like we needed new art to convey the depth and size of the game more. This image was used when setting up the store pages, used as background in the game's interface, and for a bunch of media things.īUT. I was amazed and blown away! So I started talking to Shawn and we turned this awesome piece into the artwork that was then used as menu-background and also in most promotion material (all paid for) for well over a year during Residual's development: Most of these were in the ballpark of little pixel-art remakes and impressions, and those were all awesome to see fly by on the Discord.īut there was also some other art made by Flurgleburgle (Discord name, let's call him Shawn from now on - since his parents did long before this) and his art looked like this: So when I started working on Residual, and did a Kickstarter, in August 2020 it spawned a bunch of different fan-art thingies on Twitter and the Discord. Helloooo!! Pascal from Orangepixel here! And this time I got a fun little story about what Fan-art means to a developer and how it can sometimes end up being used for the actual game!
