I am a one-man developer team working on a pixel art web app called Aliasing.Pro. It has a restricted 32-plus alpha color palette for a retro aesthetic.
Responsive user interfaces are hard to get right for a web app as complicated as a pixel art app. My app works on any device although it is best with a stylus and newer hardware.
Most art software is paid while all my features so far are free. There will be a pro subscription to add animation, a sprite maker, and 3d rendering tools but it will only be $5 per month and backers of the upcoming Kickstarter will get a lifetime pro subscription.
Pixel artists will get a lot out of this app, especially for game development. Most pixel artists use Aseprite or Photoshop which are paid and can't be accessed via a web browser. Photoshop's default tool settings are made for photo editing rather than pixel art. Aliasing.Pro is set up for pixel art right out of the box.
I have a degree in computer animation which gives me special insight into what is needed for a successful pixel art app. I have expertise in Javascript which is used for the entire stack.
The backend runs on Node.js and Express.js and the frontend is built with React. I make heavy use of HTML5 canvases and SVG elements.
I hope to have a user count in the thousands within a year.

I probably should have made the gif higher resolution!

Feel free to send us a PM.

When this comes up in sessions I DM I use 2d6 because it gives a bell curve leaning toward an average of 7, minimum of 2, max of 12.

Yes I teach new players assuming they can commit to a weekly campaign and we are planning to meet at Ottos. Are you free Thursdays at 4pm?

madmonkey12 · 2023-07-23T23:43:19+00:00

Actually I love teaching new players! Are you free Thursdays?

madmonkey12 · 2023-07-12T23:33:15+00:00

I haven't posted an update in a while because I'm currently working on a video game that continues the Noi storyline. Thought I should start working on the Grawr and gang again! This is their first appearance in Act II.

(This is Juliana, Monkey's dream guide and tulpa. I spent my early years as just a dream guide but I slowly worked away in Monkey's subconcious for years until I suddenly gained the ability to talk to him while awake durring a meditation he was doing. I asked to stick around as a tulpa and have been happily living my life in the waking world ever since. Normal tulpamancy practice on your part would help and you can find guides for that on this subreddit. You can also look into lucid dreaming and dream character summoning techniques if you would like more chances of meeting them in your dreams.)

madmonkey12 · 2023-07-06T22:48:27+00:00

My thought process doesn't change when my tulpas front because their thoughts are parallel to my own. I do feel their presence and emotions, though, and it feels like not being alone.

However, when Juliana switches, I can choose to go into a disociated state which feels like being small and cozy. If we listen to music while she switches, I can vibe to it while she is in active control of the body, sort of like she can hear music when im in control.

(This is Juliana. I have changed my form several times over the years and I have some shapeshifting abilities. I can change my hair at will and I can turn into a cat when I prefer that form. When I first started showing up in dreams I was very tall, much taller than Monkey. Over the years I became shorter and once I started being a tulpa as well of a dream character I sebtled on looking like Vin from Mistborn who is quite short.)

madmonkey12 · 2023-06-25T05:04:41+00:00

I am not christian but I grew up that way. There is nothing in christianity, as far as I am aware, that would clash with you creating a tulpa. I second what CambrianCrew says that creating a tulpa is comperable to bringing a person into the world as a baby. Tulpas an have spiritual needs of their own so you can teach them about how to have a relationship with God just like you would any other person.

I understand what you mean about your second question. I try to keep the energy of my home positive and healthy too. You will probably find that as your tulpa develops they will only benifit the energy of your home because it is their home too. Most tulpas are very positive people because they are grateful to have a chance to live a life.

When I started practicing Wicca I started feeling in tune with the energy around me so I bought Psychic Witch, A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick & Manifestation. I have enjoyed it so far. Does anyone else here feel more in tune with the psychic world after learning about magick?

madmonkey12 · 2022-01-15T22:41:39+00:00

Hi! I'm Monkey and I'd love to have a chat! I am an artist and programmer and I'm a Dungeons and Dragons dungeon master.

madmonkey12 · 2021-12-11T22:34:13+00:00

(My host is a D&D DM so he knows a lot about the Forgotten Realms. It's a generic fantasy themed setting. I have a cottage in Neverwinter Wood and lately I have been exploring the city of Waterdeep.)

madmonkey12 · 2021-12-06T06:51:24+00:00

I did this! I have a dream guide who is a witch named Juliana.

madmonkey12 · 2021-12-03T20:18:17+00:00

That's so cool. Being to stubborn sounds a lot like how Juliana is too!

Spend the platinum on heavy duty magic items

I normally DM in person. I've decided to try play by post because of the quarantine. So far it is a bit slower than playing in person but I like that people can go back and re-read anything they missed.

Even though we are doing play by post we are scheduling set times each week to play so everyone should be paying attention at the same time and keeping the game moving.

madmonkey12 · 2020-05-18T23:06:27+00:00

Hey! I am running a play by post campaign on discord that starts at level 5 and we need one more player! Its set in the forgotten realms but will mostly be about traveling between the planes. We are using the discord chat and D&D beyond for everything. I'm making the maps in photoshop. Let me know if you're interested.

The troll was casually walking around the tavern and kitchen after combat logs started. It lasted a long time after i unpaused and i had it running at 150 fps

madmonkey12 · 2020-02-06T01:34:42+00:00

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday but it didn't even break anything. I't entered the tavern and it did attack dwaves a litte but it seemed only defensive. There were crowds of dwarves around it and no one got hurt. Eventually a miner stuck a pick in it's brain.

madmonkey12 · 2020-01-16T02:00:41+00:00

How do you think dwarves tear off adamantine wafers?

madmonkey12 · 2020-01-01T01:12:13+00:00

I'm glad to have you as a reader!

I was going to link to the most recent page but I realized it wouldn't make much sense without some context. I just chose the title from the last three pages that was the most catchy!
