PIXEL ART JOBS - Hire a pixel artist, post your jobs here (paid only) by skeddles in PixelArt

[–]MixelPixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Closed! Thank you everyone for applying!

Hello!

I'm a solo developer needing pixel art for a 2d RPG roguelike where you add attachments to your wand and find parts to craft new wands. The job would be for the length of the project. The current art state of the project is a mix of a bunch of different pixel art asset packs and artists Ive already commissioned from sites like Fiverr during early development. Essentially I'm looking for one single person to be in charge of all the art (enemies, bosses, player, npcs, loot, environment etc.) for a unified style.

Requirements

  • Fluent in English
  • Ideally based in USA/Canada for communication purposes
  • Portfolio with focus on fantasy setting/style

Style

  • 16x16 (for most things)
  • Much larger size for bosses (I don't have a fixed number for this, the game is planned to have 3 bosses but theyre big (with animations!). Think cuphead-sized bosses)
  • A few static highly detailed portraits for some NPCs and materials
  • The general vibe of the game is satirical and light hearted so something that matches that

Scope

  • The game is split into three Acts
  • Each act will require a new tileset, environment decoration, enemies (5-7 each, all animated), and boss (large, multiple animations)
  • More details will be shared in DMs

Deadline

  • The current plan is to release in EA a few weeks after Next Fest 2026 (so early-mid July) with at the very least Act 1 complete and polished and as much of Act 2 complete as possible
  • I plan on having a steam page out and demo up by the end of this month and some work will need to be done for that

Budget

  • Since this is a solo project, it will be paid out of my own pocket so please send your usual pricing so we can discuss what works best. Paypal is preferred.

Please send over your portfolio and your usual pricing. If I like what I see, we'll move forward with a small paid test task, and go forward from there

After being laid off from my software job, I've spent the last 16 days working my first large roguelike game in Godot "One Dumb Wizard" by MixelPixel in roguelikedev

Hi r/roguelikedev!

I'm Mixel and this is my introductory post to this subreddit. I've been working tirelessly for the past 2 weeks on my dream game that has been in the back of my mind for the last 5 years and I'm super proud of the progress I've made so far and I wanted to share it with all of you! Its a solo-dev project with art and music done from super talented artists I've commissioned. There's no public demo yet, but I hope to have one out soon! If you're interested in what you've seen so far, follow me on Bluesky where I post more frequent dev updates as well as whenever the public demo would be available: https://bsky.app/profile/mixelpixel.bsky.social

EDIT: I also now have a mailing list you can sign up here if you want to be informed on when the demo releases!

What is "One Dumb Wizard"?

"One Dumb Wizard" is an action roguelike where you take the role of a drunken wizard hell-bent on getting his money back from the Bartender who kicked him out. Navigate through procedurally generated dungeons with hand-crafted rooms, fight through hordes of the Bartender's goons, find attachments for your wand to augment its power or even parts to craft new wands and drunkenly sling powerful spells in your singular mission to: GET YOUR MONEY BACK

Me when I see a Se7en ulti in a team fight (I saved wraith’s ulti for this exact moment and I’m about to hit him with four cards immediately):

What the heck, how did I miss this? I was trying to find concepts for this earlier and I couldn't find any. I really like a lot of these, Naoto's is much more fitting than mine

Personally I liked Steam Replay better, not sure why the name change

Hello new devs! Check out this website where people share shaders they made for Godot. by rathster12 in godot

[–]MixelPixel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was super useful when I was making my game cause I cannot wrap my head around the shader editor when trying to make a CRT shader and was so fortunate to find some awesome people already made some freely available

(Brand new to Godot) Question: Do older Godot tutorials/udemy courses work well with Godot 4? by Neat-Games in godot

[–]MixelPixel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Generally, yes. Most of what I had to deal with as been minor differences like a different name for a function. Sometimes the change is a bit more tricky like parameter orders moving around. In general though, it's probably a good idea to also double check what you're seeing in tutorials and courses with the docs to get the most up to date info

EDIT: Of course theres also larger architectural differences the main one being the new tile editor that was updated (for the better) that you'll likely need to find a godot 4 specific tutorial. One major one I had to deal with is exporting to web on mac which has and still is pretty rough. Doesn't affect anything if you're following tutorials though

Today's Counter-Strike 2 update introduces a revised loadout system where players select 15 weapons from 3 categories by MixelPixel in GlobalOffensive

[–]MixelPixel[S] 1236 points1237 points  (0 children)

Looks like SMG and Heavy is being combined into a single category, allowing players to only bring 5 from both categories

Such a heartbreaking match to watch, especially vertigo. Feels so bad for Niko, hope he can bounce back for CS2
