hi!!!! a friend randomly sent a link to this forum to me, started checking it out and am now writing this post lol. for context by the time i was old enough to want to use a forum they were already dying out so i just. never really got the experience of using one and was really curious what its like hehe

anyway, im male and go by he/him, bit of a game developer, though definitely still starting out. fairly intermediate with pixel art and (possibly) wanting to spend more time learning digital art hehe
......and the reason why im here.... dragon brainrot ....i love em to death LOL

Game design? What engine do you use, or are you brave and strong and you're making your own engine?

I'm seconding the game design question, and also inquiring about the pixel art! Show us some examples of your work if you'd like!!
(this sounds like a job interview.... i promise im only curious )

sorry, got busy... first thing ive released, literally a couple months ago lol, was a small fangame made in a preexisting engine that uses an old and free abandonware version of game maker studio.

I messed around with this a bit eariler this year I'm familiar with GameMaker 8 and GMS2, but that's from 2017 at the latest. I remember liking Godot, although I also never got complex with it
