Red Wind skyport

   Saw a great concept artist Sparth playing with a curious little painting program called hexels by Hex-Ray Studios. thought I would pick it up and try it out as it seemed to hit a sort of pixel art style that i like .What started out as a village and a waterfall grew quite a bit and i spent a few too many hours on this but it was a fun exercise .Sort of felt like building in minecraft once i got the hang of it .

   This is a skyport located at the edge of the sprawling red wind plateau.its a vital conduit for the farms of the plains people and link to the sprawling empire cities to the east .

Revenge of the titans Art Kudos

i just finished Revenge of the titans yesterday at lunch and holy crap that was probably the toughest end boss/last level Ive ever faced !

Its really great to see the right art married to the right genre of game and i think this is a fantastic example .i was immediately immersed in the simple little story and the art was able to convey the same feel both during the game play and with the cut screens and UI .I would call this almost a high resolution pixel art .Beautiful.

nerdy game play note:

In the last level i finally figured out that linking up 4 radars to turrets dramatically extends their reach and ended up being key in taking out the final boss .If i would have known this early on it would have greatly changed my approach to the game i am sure.
