Other People's Sprites

Kreatura started as a list of itch.io asset packs: pixel art characters, a sunnyside tileset, cozy people, and notes on pixel perfect rendering and color scale. As a programmer, my game projects tend to start with a folder of other people's sprites.

It was a 2D Unity game about creatures, with a WebGL build so it could run in a browser, and a stock create-next-app backend with the tutorial text still in it. I worked on it for four days in June 2022 and got as far as writing shaders, then it stopped.

It was my third try at a game, after BEAT.R in 2017, which did get released, and Top Down City in 2019. Each time paid work took the time back. Later I finally stuck with one, a Game Boy Advance engine written in my own language.
