Hello everybody, my name is Avishay and I've been making games since 2012. I was nudged into game dev by a good friend of mine and together we started working on a game. The first game, where it all started, was a point and click adventure, titled “A leap of fate”.
We teamed up with a 3D background artist, had some help making our characters models and hired a character animator. We made some good progress, but at some point it started dying out. In retrospect, we probably went over our head with the scope for a first game project.
Here is a little capture I uploaded once, it's not the most updated build of the game, but it'll give you an idea of what we were doing.
Some time later, my friend and I decided to make a simpler and shorter game, one we can actually finish and so we started working on a game we called Jasper's Revenge. This was a short 30 minutes, one big level, platformer game, where you played Jasper, the dog from - a leap of fate.
This time we decided to make our own assets and use some free assets where we can. I don't remember exactly who did what, but I remember I wasn't really good at it. But we did get to finish it, unfortunately we lost the project files, so it's not available anymore, but you can check out these videos:
Since then I worked on a few more titles, I did some art directing, animation and a sprite here and there. You can read more about my games here:

In April 2022, I made a decision to try and do art again and try to get better at it.
This blog is about that journey, making my own pixel art and animations.
Some tech details:
Canvas size - 320x180 px
Drawing tool - Krita
Game engine - Construct 3
I hope you will enjoy the ride!
