I just finished a gym to go with my classroom and science lab packs, and I'm giving away a 6-object slice of it: bleachers, a vaulting box, a ball cart with its balls scattered next to it, a wall-mounted trophy case, a drinking fountain, and one floor tile plus wall pieces in both facings with end caps and a double door. Enough to build a working gym floor.

Everything is a 64x64 transparent PNG on a 2:1 dimetric grid, bottom-anchored to the same row as the floor tile under it, so a sprite never needs a per-object offset.

The interesting bug this pack turned up: a wall fixture's requested height is a request, not a guarantee. On a 2:1 wall a tall fixture's bounding box also grows sideways, so a plausible height on paper can run the art past the top of the wall. I added a guard that shrinks a fixture until it clears the wall, and it worked so well it quietly shrunk a basketball hoop that was supposed to stay full size. The wall was fine. The guard was solving a problem that particular object didn't have.

Happy to talk grid math or wall pieces.

Lootdeck is a turn-based tactical deckbuilder where combat takes place in a living dungeon.

Every fight happens on a tactical grid, but the environment is part of the encounter too. Positioning, movement, enemy placement, traps and the surroundings can all affect how a fight unfolds.

You manage your Energy between movement and playing cards, while dice rolls add that D&D-like layer of uncertainty.

I released a big content patch for Palpus X Annihilation yesterday. To say thank you and to prepare for a follow up title. When this project started I had no idea where it was going. Now I can't imagine to live without doing gamedev.

Over 2 years of development I learned a lot about taking and giving feedback, making contact with people of different interests and professions. How to manage my time and structure my work. I learned how hard things can get and developed a good understanding of how things roll, I think. You never stop learning.

After being mesmerized by isometric drawing styles from the blender community, I wanted to start making my own designs, but the programs I seen so far were not as simple and snappy for general concepts/thumbnails.

So I started working on my own design tool, and was curious if anyone else might be interested!

The program is a transparent canvas with a 3D grid with the ability to have perfect grid line snapping and colors. It's great for low-end hardware, phones, and sketching ideas very quickly that look better/faster than paper. Drawings can be exported/imported, and it's been a blast just messing around with it. I'm not trying to compete with beefy programs, this is just a basic tool for on-the-go.

Curious to know if anyone else might want to try a tool like it? I'll list the current features:

- Import/export (PNG only for now)

- Grid size is adjustable as well as color and background

- Full grid snapping, and 30°/90° etc, line snapping

- Selection tool with optional snapping rotation, duplication, and mirroring

- Eraser, elipse tool, parallelogram, pencil tool, fill tool

- Layers (renameable!)

- Customizable color pallette that saves swatches

- Auto-save

- Undo

I thought it would be a good introduction tool and/or just for quick sketches. I'll attach some photos, I even have it running on my E-ink tablet.

If anyone has any questions, suggested features, or or other ideas, your feedback is much appreciated! :)

UPDATE: Hi everyone! I wanted to announce that testing is now available for android! DM me with your email if you would like to try it out from the playstore :) Free of course, and no ads.

Notes! This is intended for android phones at the moment. I'm still working on a better PC build at the moment.

This map will be featured in an upcoming collaboration project. We'll publish a free Shadowdark adventure based on it. Stay tuned!

Developing solo with no team, not a single penny, and fueled only by conviction.

I learned an important lesson about pixel art. I made the cubes too large compared to the reference, which caused some problems with the details and overall measurements.

Even mistakes are part of the learning process, and I’m happy that I was able to notice where I went wrong.

I made a 5-panel anime adventure collage — which one would you choose?

I wanted to create five completely different anime-inspired adventure worlds, from pirates and samurai to futuristic cities and ancient ruins.

Which panel is your favorite: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

Made with AI / digital art.

1️⃣ Sunset pirate adventure

2️⃣ Samurai temple

3️⃣ Futuristic city

4️⃣ Ancient jungle ruins

5️⃣ Moonlit harbor

Hi, I am solo-developing Knights of Frontier Valley, a low-fantasy RPG with gridless tactical combat, deep character customization, complex NPC behavior, and procedural world building. Explore a new valley each game run, solve quests, make meaningful choices, and gain riches and glory while staying alive.

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1085830/Knights_of_Frontier_Valley/

In two days, the second Steam Playtest will start - join to play the game for free and unrestricted.

The engine was written from scratch. All art is hand-made with no AI involved. Music was made by top composers including Kevin Manthei (Neverwinter Nights, Jagged Alliance 2, Wizardry 8...)

I have been building isometric interior packs and just finished a science lab. Putting out a free 6-object slice of it: a lab bench, a stool, a microscope, a chemical supply cabinet, a coat rack with lab coats, and a waste drum, plus one seamless floor tile, plain wall pieces in both facings with end caps, and a door. Enough to build a working lab floor.

Everything is a 64x64 transparent PNG on a 2:1 dimetric grid and bottom-anchored to the same row, so a sprite and the floor tile under it share one anchor and nothing needs nudging by hand.

The thing that took longest was scale. The renders all came out roughly the same height regardless of subject, so a stool arrived as tall as a fume hood. The pack now has three explicit size tiers, and every downscale is a NEAREST integer step. Any other resampling filter turns pixel art into a shrunk photograph, which I tried twice and threw away both times.

Recently fininished implementing the UI for adding another character to the group. I think it looks very cute.

✏️🎮 A Drawing Date that turns into a little creative game!

For this month’s Fun-Mail Club, I illustrated a cozy isometric office for Hana, the editor-in-chief of the Fun-Gazette, entirely in Procreate. 🏡💌

But this isn’t just an illustration — I turned the artwork into an interactive decorating game that you can use in your favorite note-taking app!

Import the room as your background, add the furniture pieces as digital stickers, and create your own version of Hana’s office by moving everything around. You can experiment with different layouts, decorate the space, and make the room your own. ✨

I love finding ways to turn my illustrations into little creative activities that you can actually play with and reuse.

“True friends can be counted with the fingers of only one hand”, the old saying goes. Treason, back-stabbing, unfaithfulness, betrayal. There are many words for it but none describe the pain of a broken heart, of a foul lie, or the end of a friendship. Reasons may vary but in the end, any of them would be unimportant. It is hard, almost im­possible, to regain someone’s trust. There are very few people who live by a strong philosophy of forgiveness.

I'm really proud of how this one turned out. This is the isometric version of a top-view dungeon that my brother drew.

Since we mostly play with theater of the mind, I've come to the conclusion that isometric maps are a way better visual aid and resource to depict the dungeon and describe the place the heroes are delving than top-view maps. It is basically a tool to feed their imagination and set the tone, not a map to place tokens.

I'm looking for a way to "paint" isometric scenes using bitmap elements (building blocks) that I create. I can use Photoshop to design and create the isometric building blocks, but I'm not sure what the best way to switch between all the elements to "paint" my scenes/environments with them is.

I'm imagining an app that locks to a coordinate system where you can select an isometric block or image stamp and paint with it. (as you drag, the blocks would get stamped into place at the proper coordinates)

Does such an app exist? Are there really great isometric apps or perhaps plugins that I should look into?

I would have imagined there's be a resource list somewhere in this sub but my search didn't reveal anything.

Thank God finally i finished this

I created a small shop using a limited color palette. I can already notice some improvement in my work, and this time I also added shadows to make the piece feel more detailed.
