Garagar, touched up and modified for #pixelplanets by @ekvitki.art.
Someone crash landed on Garagar while it was a big ball of primordial goo. The whole planet got contaminated, much like a bad agar plate.

It was too easy to crash into other’s ships while walking around landing pads. Changed them to be enter on interact instead of collision, and they've got more sensible z-indexing and collision boxes now.

I made this for the very talented @ekvitki.art 's #PixelPlanet collab!
This is planet Arachne, a small ice planet that was hit by a rock from comet Minerva, leaving a #spider web pattern across her surface. The rock contained life that evolved into a species of space faring spiders.

Gitrah's probably the most uptight peddler, but their view beginning ended up more fun than I expected it to be.

Few more sprites for Peddlers between Pulsars. Still playing with numbers, but here they are in use.
Packaging makes fragile items more durable.
Plastic jars extend their lifespan.
Cans reduce fragility and extend lifespan, but canning anything living will kill it.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Oh no, it looks like the Alexus One is bullying Malady.
I borrowed a ship from Alexus 2040 by @romainmacre.bsky.social because I have no aggressive ships, and cause it's a fun game.

I think some people who want to act professionally will simply copy things without understanding why they're there. In this case, the AI coder here says "yes it uses the leaked starfox code" but seems to think "you must provide a rom" covers them. It does not.
gen-AI can automate so many things, the industry's apologists will say
and it can gum up the retro-preservation works, in terms of bombarding open-source repos with jibberish
but it cannot automate good ol' fashioned confessions of using STOLEN NINTENDO SOURCE CODE
