Hey guys! Erika here with a quick Devblog for our upcoming pixel game, Bon Appawtit!

Animation lies at the heart of a good pixel art game, but honestly... animating is kinda hard, at least for me. I'm still fairly new to pixel art to begin with, and animating is a whole new science to learn and master.

Anyway, I've been working on walking animations for a couple of sprites these last few days, and I feel like I've learned enough to be able to translate my knowledge into a decent walking animation. So I thought I'd write up a quick post to show you some of my progress.

I'm not sure yet if these character are going to be customers or workers (or both)! I also have plan for quite a few other characters, including cats, a pig, a penguin, a wolf, etc. Here's a preview of some of them (please keep in mind these are very early versions):

My goal is to also be able to give and customize these characters' outfits, although how players will be able to unlock them has yet to be determined.

Game development is an ever changing process. Like most things in a game that's under development, these sprites are by no means final. There's a good chance they will undergo some change in one form or another before the game gets released.

Thanks for stopping by, and see you in the next Devblog!
