So…

While I let this story simmer on the back burner (my brain is temporarily broken from rewriting Shadows and Eternity 🫠), I’m working on a (let us pray) simpler project. The story is simpler (so far). A lot of the pixel art is already done (I’m salvaging them from a cancelled project from four years ago). And it’s inspired by @UnsignedArduino’s awesome clicker/idle game [Fossil Clicker](https://forum.makecode.com/t/fossil-clicker-my-prehistoric-game-jam-submission/21524).

(I hope you don’t mind if I take a look at your code and use it to help me create mine. I’ll give you credit, of course. 🙃)

I’m also thinking about releasing all of the old pixel art, unedited, for people to use in their projects (with credit to me and the awesome artist who made them). If I do, I think I’d provide the versions that have been reduced in size to 64x64 and maybe even 96x96. I believe I found a process to reduce the size and keep most of the quality. There’s, what, 300+ assets? I mean, some of those are just the attack and idle animations for enemies, and the others are the different stages of creatures I’m not disclosing at the moment, but it’s still a nice amount.

(Obviously I’m not using all of them in my game; that would make it WAY too big.)

Do you guys want free cartoony artwork that you would need to edit the colors of?

Hopefully I’ll have some parts of it done and can share some screenshots.

Yeah, this was a long post. Sorry not sorry.
