When Glowdust and I put down Peace Day we immediately began work on Unstable Scientific. You'll play as a physicist with a group of colleagues who are exploring a mysterious island while running an interdimensional portal laboratory! It's going to have the base-building mechanics of Peace Walker with a metroidvania-lite style of platforming. I'm still sorry that we had to stop work on Peace Day. But we're putting the spirit of everything we wanted to put in that game, into this one.

WHAT BEAUTIFUL MADNESS IS THIS?!

Probably the best New Year meme ever.

(The flags in the garland make a phrase Говно с дымом, shit with smoke, which is an anagram of С новым годом, Happy New Year).

Not MGS, but nonetheless the greatest thing I have ever seen.

This is the best tutorial for something I’ve always struggled with in pixel art! It’s really useful conceptually for painting in general.

🌿 How to draw simple grass for a game

Thank you kind asker I will make a tutorial below for grass. I'll do shrubs and trees in another one, because it's a different method and it got pretty long.

🌿 How to draw grass tiles: step-by-step

Each box is 16x16, the same size Stardew Valley uses. Make it tile (how to do it depends on your software) so we can see if our edges match up nicely.

Draw 1 simple blade of grass. Many options for shape but I like this one. Feel free to copy me directly

2. Give it a shadow. Wow !!!

3. Give it a highlight! OMG!

4. Add another grass

5. Do it over and over and over and over and over

Literally just do the same or similar blades of grass, give them all little shadows, highlight a few if you want and there you have it! So easy.

It looks really complicated like this, but its literally just a few steps, repeated over and over.

Many games use this technique and it would be perfectly serviceable for a base grass tile.

Personally, I prefer lower contrast grass. This tile will likely be used for large areas, so ideally you don't want it to be too busy or eye-burning to distract from the character.

🌿 I'll show you how to do a different type of grass now that is a little more complicated.

Midtone grass colour

2. Add some lighter and darker patches touching each other (not too high contrast!)

3. Use this shape (or your preferred, but this is how I did it) on the top edge of your patches. Colour them with the middle colour from each patch.

4. Do it again a lot (this is very tedious)

5. Add some highlights

6. Add some fun extra stuff

We're done! Have fun everyone, show me if you try it!

This looks absolutely adorable! I kind of wish we finished our game now…
