My First Pixel Art Character Sprite Ever
Without any prior knowledge on pixel art (outside of having played tons of retro games), I decided to give it a shot. How hard could it be? Turns out, it’s hard… and time consuming!

While I’m sure most video games start off with some impressive game mechanic or revolutionary piece of code, Nixie started off with… a logo. While I had some awfully crude sketches of Nixie’s character design scribbled on the back of various work documents and some pieces of music in the works, the logo was the first “asset” of the game I actually finished. Of course, it didn’t go as planned at all…
Nixie is an indie video game about a robot that I started during the covid-19 pandemic as a way for me to learn new creative/technical skills and focus my creativity on something I felt passionate about.
