Blue pencil hand drawn sketch of a giant crescent moon that has a face. The tongue dangles menacingly out of its mouth and the eye focuses on chasing after the player.

Pixel art game ready version of the Bad Moon projectile the Diner Boss will fire at the player.

The latest hand-drawn concept sketch to game ready pixel art asset created by Andy. This will be one of the projectiles you'll have to nimbly avoid in the next boss encounter.

Pencil and paper sketch of a water tower. On the left side hangs a rickety looking ladder and, on the right, a giant crank that looks like it would be used to pump the water.

Pixel art completed version of the water tower concept art sketch in the previous picture. Water tower is mostly grey with dark shading on the right side to match the sunlight of the game environment. A tinge of orange highlights the windows in the center of the main water container section.

Another update from our artist, Andy, showing the concept to pixel art process. This is another piece that will be part of the next boss encounter we are working on. Anyone figured out who the boss will be yet? Check out our previous post for a hint.

Pencil and paper sketch of a scarecrow. His spindly body is comprised of straw, and he is holding a menacing looking pitchfork. An angular shaped hat can cape create a sharp silhouette as he walks forward.

Pixel art version of the scarecrow that was sketched out in the concept art. Bright orange background contrasts with the black and dark grey colors of the scarecrow. Spindly legs and arms keep the silhouette consistent from the concept art but the scarecrow is no longer holding the pitchfork.

Our artist, Andy, has been working on some characters for our next boss encounter. Here is an example of how he goes from a hand drawn sketch to a pixel art version of the scarecrow. Any guesses to what literary classic the next boss is based on?

The announcement says the festival which includes demos and discounts on featured games will run between Oct 27 and Nov 3, 2025.
