What program are you drawing?

Never too old to learn pixel art! I love the simplicity of your sprites a lot and I can't agree more that pixel art is one of the simple pleasures I wouldn't want to live without.

Congratulations on your progress so far. It’s never too late to learn something new. Your pixel art is looking great. I’m in my early forties and only recently decided to learn illustration and, ultimately, animation. I’ve dabbled in many things over the years but it’s all about having a creative outlet for self-expression. I’m excited to see where learning something new will take me.

I would love to play a game with your super cute character lol. Makes me think a little bit of earth bound with the funky music in the background 😊

I love your original character he is so catchy! When i first saw it while scrolling through TH-cam i thought... "Wow! So cute i need to see more!" 😊

The player looks so pokeconic! What an excellent job you did there Jacob!! 👏❤

i like waffles

I really like your pixel art. It is very cute and I really enjoy the way you make the shapes and how simplistic they are. The tones that you use for the colors are amazing and they really make me feel good. Thank you so much for making this and I hope you keep making more. They're really good!❤

could you help me with a problem? it has to do with top down, specifically 3/4 view, you see the problem with me is that whenever i view top down pixel art in games my mind can't comprehend the perspective (example: the character should go behind a wall but it doesn't) but when i try to apply this to my pixel art, it only seems to make things worse, the only top down i can comprehend are world map and literal top down. also this isn't a critic agaisnt these types of games or pixel arts, my mind is just stupid.

Nice

This looks fantastic.... I'm amazed at your art style I really like it. If I ever get to make any good pixel art... I want it to be just like yours! ❤

I think for us all its important to be always learning new things and be curious and creative. I’m in my mid thirties and Im making also a pixel art point and click game on my freetime, mainly to counter balance my engineering job. I feel healthier using both sides of the brain so to speak.

Love that you took in consideration the space took by the like/dislike buttons on the right side.

Deserve more subscribers, keep up the great work 👍

i love taking the approach of not doing research beforehand and trying to invent your own solution!

I'm turning 35 this year, and I too have chosen this as another millenial project to start! My goal is to make a pixel art comic by 40 years old. I'll see if I can sprinkle in a second language as well.

There is a thing i find interesting about people trying to make their own pixek fints, usually it looks like they try to make them for the characters rather than for the viewer "Arent these too big? Literally the size of his chest" you are the one reading, not your little guy so dont worry

Funny that this video appeared to me days after i finished making a font, which is very similar to the nokia cell phone, but i didnt use that one because it had things i didnt like, althoughi stole their version of G because mine sucked XD

AI can be a tool for rapid prototyping, to learn the vocabulary of the medium you like, but that's it. For something meaningful you gotta stay human. Good luck on your learning journey! I'm also learning a lot, and I think that my decision to only use AI as google image on steroids is the right one for me. I don't want to crap out stuff that I have zero input in.

I'm twice younger than you, but this video inspired me greatly to start trying out some ideas, that for now exist only in my head. Hopefully I'll get to actually creating something soon. Thank you for sharing and have a nice day. Freue mich auf deine nächste Video!

I’m 41 and just started indie game development with my wife. She hopes this game will make a bunch of money but I agree with you that I’m just doing it for my own pleasure of creating something. I’ll be happy if we sell one copy in the end.

I find it extremely frustrating when ai is used as a solution for most things as I feel it takes away from the soul of the work

How do you do that so fast?

did you just randomly decided to make a game thats amazing and relatable

I love your videos... They are so calming and a great story ☺️

I'm not far past 40 but also just recently started learning art in general. I'm much better with 3D and I can't really draw from imagination yet. But using references, I've been able to recreate pokemon in 3D and some characters that were 2D only in 3D. Initially, I thought, I'll use AI to generate the artwork for my games I want to develop, but I found that I'm very particular with the art and it still requires a lot of cleanup after and it takes just as much time, if not more than doing it from scratch. AI can be helpful for doing tedious tasks, but I agree that it can take away from learning and understanding depending on how it is used by the individuals.

Learning new skills is very good for your brain-age health. Even if you didnt show it on youtube, you would help your brain make better and stronger connections. So, to sum up: learning new skills while getting older = should be the gold standard, and make u happy. No sad allowed

just use AI is also a great idea XD... ok AI can to very nice stories and fiction... Let an AI write scripts is especially stupid - yesterday i discussed with chatgpt why it wannted to tell me repeatedly that 512 is smaller than 64. It wanted to tell me that 8292 is a a power of 2 (which it basicly accepted after i reasoned that each next number is a power of 2 and accidental hat a typo while writing the numbers). My Test with GPT4 went like that yesterday and i hope it wont try to diagnose cancer on me. Even with obvious Errors AI does neither reject wrong statements nor did it ever create working code that does whatever it thinks the code would do - like hey this code outputs the numbers from one to ten, you run the code it does nothing or runs infinite - so you tell him and it says Oh i am soooo sorry you are right here is the corrected code that actually does the same thing. And we are not talking about some complex stuff we are talking about 3 variables and a simple loop.

The BIT.TRIP games use a 4x4 font, though it's only upper case and digits (which are 3x4), and does make M and W 5 pixels wide. You can find some unofficial versions that add in lower case letters and punctuation.

im 40 this year, and im right were you are :P but replace pixel art with stop motion animation

which languages do you speak?

Why doesn’t you have at least a thousand subs

I love map like WoW maps, so I lean to fantasy map, if you use more resolution , I think you will make it look great too.

good video, your editing quality is good you will grow your channel in no time if you keep going

The m and doubleyou can be fixed with a 4 pixel render like so. X X XXXX X X X X

i think the end result looks very fitting since it doesnt give away too much detail and information about the characters facial expression and emotions if you know what i mean! i really like it

I recently discovered your channel and I'm watching all the videos xD. your art style and even the chosen background music is very satisfying :D

i made something really similar a few years ago; its really cool how different some of your interpretations of the letters look from mine even in such a small space!

21x21 looks good for me 👍

just add details

I agree that the 31x31 version sort of ruins the whole vibe Aber had going on, but I think the 21x21 version does strike a good balance between leaving the design vague while also upscaling it, that one's good

Is the thumb written "cancle" instead of "cancel"?
