In Spider-Man, it's an action-y game until you suddenly switch to Mary Jane stealth in a museum? Ground the game to a screeching halt, had no enthusiasm to keep playing.

Purely to share, I lettered these on a vector layer in Clip Studio paint.
1) export as 1200 dpi png,
2) vector trace (Inkscape for me),
3) copy/paste into vector editor. Can get better nodes with some fiddling of threshold/optimize in trace step

Curious do you ever letter your character set digitally on a vector layer, or are you only converting from hand-lettered

Still available on desktop, surprisingly our most stable version (1.5). Includes all skins + levels.
A tad quirky playing a mobile-designed game on desktop, be we actually tested on desktop A LOT and found it just as fun. #itchio #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev

Things tested fine on our end, iOS 18, iPhone 13+, Pro, etc. If you happen to have Rockabilly Beatdown installed - good luck! 😂https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rockabilly-beatdown/id965601205

Here's all the MASK (by Kenner) characters I've sprited so far. That Matt Trakker sprite is really old, the rest are from 2022-2025. The MASK toyline is in that background, the figures and boxes between Kenner Super Powers and Masters of the universe.

This question is future tense. I think it might be current tense.

Our next hurdle is keeping RBBD on the App store here in the US because of our own new rules. More info on that later...

While our EU audience is small, RBBD is localized and has been available for many years. Games on device should still work, but if you delete the app it will no longer be available in the EU. We're sorry for any new fans who may have wanted to check it out.

This contact info would be publicly listed. While this may be fine for large companies with offices, this is a sincere privacy concern for devs who operate out of their homes. Additionally, Apple themselves will not accept PO Boxes for dev accounts! 😠

Not sure if Ace or Kimber has the most key/promotional art, but Ace remains a favorite of mine from the game. Go Ace! #pixelart

For Rockabilly Beatdown's final update, Ace + Manny Switchblade got #werewolf skins!

Ace's look was inspired by members of the East Bay Dragons, a 1960's biker club from Oakland, CA. Second pic is the first drawing I ever did of ace, way back in 2014.

It should be no surprise by now that our starting lineup was directly inspired by Streets of Rage, an all time favorite of mine (and could not tell you how many hours I've played) FYI, our heroes in game do have hidden character stats, albeit subtle differences.

Scribble more, much more, digitally. It's fun. Dont worry about finished art, sounds (to me) like you need to establish some muscle memory with digital. You absolutely can train with a single brush... BUT no harm in using multiple thick + thin brushes for diff areas of your drawing. Gambatte! ✒️

Play with brushes, doodle like a mad person. You might not find a line that's perfect, but you may find the settings that are. Then you can apply/adjust to your preferred line.
Bigger picture: WHY do you hate your linework? What linework DONT you hate? What do you see that's where you hope to be?

Agree!! Related, did u know commercial-level printers will. If you go to a copy store or printer, they always set jobs at 70-80% to save on toner. So if you want saturation or shiny, blacky blacks you need to request they bump it up to 95.

There is for Apple. And Apple will not let you use PO Box or LLC Registered Agent... sucks, we are opting out over privacy concerns.
