  2. The storybook world

    A watercolour painting turned into pixel grain by code, with pixel heroes, slimes and spells on top. Ari's pick for our new world.

  4. Meet Leo: the first sketch

    The first sprite of Leo, your guide: idle, blink and walk, facing every way. Ari's verdict: cute, but the eyes were huge.

  5. Our own pixel UI kit

    Buttons, windows, bars and icons, all drawn in code as pixel art. The game's optional pixel style and this website wear the same kit.
