This pixel art animation is 320x320px using 4 colors and 40 hand drawn frames. I doubled the resolution for viewing purposes.

That looks so good, I can feel the cold, sadness, and a bit of nostalgia.

How did you do the snowfall effect?

v78 OP t1_j8tj8ir wrote on February 16, 2023 at 9:09 PM

created 40 layers, 40 frames, each layer is only visible at one frame. Draw snow pixel, go to next frame/layer, draw next step snow pixel..
