I've found DLSS 5 can slash frame rates by up to 73% on an RTX 5080 gaming PC in NBA 2K27, and I'm wondering what kind of mega-rig would justify the performance hit

At what cost AI-enhanced graphics? Frames, it seems.

Das nächste kurze Adventure, sogar kostenlos: The Sphere (leider nur via Steam)

Klassische Point-and-Click-Kost mit reiner Mausbedienung. Gut umgesetzte Pixelgrafik mit überraschend aufwendigen Effekten und eine ebenso gekonnte musikalische Untermalung. Letzteres ist wenig überraschend, denn der Entwickler komponiert normalerweise die Musik für Spiele anderer.

Nettes Detail: Retro-Pixelgrafik, aber bei Bewegung der halbvollen Bierflasche aus dem Inventar mit dem Mauszeiger schwappt die Flüssigkeit darin physikalisch korrekt. 🙂

Die Story ist breiter angelegt als die Spiellänge erwarten lässt, die Aufmachung auf professionellem Niveau. Bei The Sphere war ich wirklich betrübt, als nach nicht ganz anderthalb Stunden bereits das Ende erreicht war. Hätte gerne weitergehen dürfen, das hatte alles noch deutlich mehr Potenzial. Trotzdem: Keine Reue, wirklich gut gemacht, Herr Lückgen!

D&D 5e Monster Manual sprite sheet update: Harpy 🪺 and Intellect Devourer 🧠. Need to find two more tiny monsters to fill that square or I'll go mad. 🔥🐉

D&D 5e Monster Manual sprite sheet update: the Jabberwock! 😱

I went to the 5e Wild Beyond the Witchlight adventure book for my J monster. As I read more about the Jabberwock, it definitely qualified as a "boss" monster, so I designed it as such.

They're almost never seen in their entirety, inhabit primal forests, and no more than one has ever been seen at a time.

Note: Chrome and Edge may display .gif incorrectly.

#dnd #ttrpg #rpg #pixelart #art #fantasy #gaming #retrogaming #gamedev

D&D 5e Monster Manual sprite sheet continues.

I accidentally did L and forgot K. So I went back to do K. Also, gave the Ettin a simple little animation.

Tonight we have the Kobold and the Lich! Went for a cosmic sort of vibe with the lich, and classic dragon's den sort of kobold.

Note: Chrome and Edge may display .gif incorrectly.

#dnd #ttrpg #rpg #pixelart #art #fantasy #gaming #retrogaming #gamedev

Went with the Minotaur this time! 🐂🔥

5e's monster manual describes them as more demonic sort of creatures than I initially imagined, so I decided to lean into that interpretation more.

Lich's hood was slightly adjusted.

About half way done with the sprite sheet! 🧙‍♂️✨

Feel free to leave suggestions for fantasy monsters of any sort, I may or may not decide to draw it. 💖

🐍Naga and Orc🪓

Trying to fit an action pose in these spaces was a bit ambitious, but I'm very pleased with this orc. Trying to convey scales and curvature on the naga was tricky - a cobra's body flares and curls so much, and I have to use blocks to convey it!

🐴 A twofer! Pixie and Pegasus.🧚

Forgot I already did Pixie and started work on Pegasus, so we'll go ahead and take the W and move on. 😅

I'm not used to drawing horses so I'm pretty proud of this one.

Q only has 1 option in the Monster Manual, so I'll probably do that, a suggestion or some animations, we'll see.

Until next time 👋🧙‍♂️

Note: Chrome and Edge may display .gif incorrectly.

#dnd #ttrpg #rpg #pixelart #art #fantasy #gaming #retrogaming #gamedev

Decided to fulfill a request for an Awakened Shrub and animated the harpy. Decided to try out red in stead of pink on the naga as well - I like it better.

Had fun doing something a little different this time. Karla says it gives Pokémon and I agree. :')

Fulfilling a request from @mrs_malice - Vampire! I always liked Nosferatu's design, and I also thought something as powerful as a vampire should be lounging around in their estate in slippers with something to sip on.
