A seamless texture pattern depicting rubber ducks on a wavy, purple background. Some ducks are front-facing while others are seen from the side. One of the duck has an evil glare. All of them are cute.

A digital painting of a desert landscape by Yän. Dunes can be seen in the background. In the foreground, a leafless weather-worn tree is stretching across the image, clearly blown from left to right by strong winds over time.

Made a quick little landscape painting today

Shutaro Ida aka "Curry the Kid" leaves behind an enormous legacy and his passing is a major loss for video games. His work has accompanied me most of my life and I'm saddened by these news. I can however surely say that he will be remembered for his outstanding contributions to metroidvanias. RIP.

I’m sure in the 30s there were some nervous Nazis who overcame butterflies to kick down doors in Jewish homes

Auch wenn ich die beide echt toll finde, muss ich sagen, wenn du Schießen in Metroidvanias nicht magst, ist's vielleicht nichts für dich. Die Progression und die Fähigkeiten finde ich ziemlich cool gemacht. Weniger frustrierend als zb. Fusion, da Sterben nur Position resettet, man behält aber Items.

If human rights matter to you at least a little bit, you need to see this.

A seamless texture of rocky tiles in odd shapes, hand painted in a stylized manner. The rocks have slight colour variations but are overall set in a bluish dark grey. Flat art style with only three distinct shades applied to each tile.

A bright version of the rocky tiles texture, this one appears in a light beige with the spaces between the tiles being filled with a lighter mortar.
