GDM Username: Franuka
Name/Nickname: Fran
Age: 30
Country: Argentina
Developer, Asset Creator or are you a bit of both?:
Asset creator (pixel artist). A bit of game development, too!
Full Time, Part Time or Hobby?:
Full Time artist. Hobbyist developer.
How long have you been doing this?:
I've been doing pixel art for over 10 years, but I've ventured into Asset Creation in 2020.
What made you become a dev/artist?:
All the amazing games I played while growing up, such as World of illusion, Golden Sun, Advance Wars, Riviera: The promised land... I fell in love with the artstyle.
Favourite software/tools to use?:
Aseprite. Amazing all-round tool for pixel art.
What’s one tip you would give to someone starting out?:
Keep going! Be consistent with what you do, pick a genre/style and stick to it for a while. Do something you're happy with and be patient, but learn from what others did to reach their goals, too. Don't be afraid to ask.
How do you promote your work (games or assets)?:
What project are you working on now?:
A new "Tactical RPG"/"Overworld" asset pack. It'll be a big one, and might become a new series depending on reception.
Any completed projects/work you want to promote?: You can check out my first finished game project, Elementalist: 0. Free to play on Newgrounds (
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/766756). Just a silly, short
Action/Brawler game I made during the Pandemic, but I'm very proud of having published it!
And finally, favourite game ever & why?:
Shadow of the Colossus. It just feels me with a sense of awe and solitude that inspires me like no other game did. I also love exploring, and slow-paced games that let you admire the scenery before being stomped by 30m-high beasts.
