Hey there! I’m Pedro Medeiros, and I love making art, games, and tools.

You might know me from my work on games like Celeste and Towerfall. I run my own studio, Coldblood Inc., and I’m also currently handling the pixel art direction at EXOK Games.

Currently Working on

• Neverway
• Earthblade

Art

• All the Wrong Places
• Pixel Dailies
• Bigger Pixel Art Pieces

Educational

• Pixel art tutorials: My series of 512x512 pixels compact tutorials, I tackle a lot of specific themes in this.
• Pixel art beginner series: Series of articles for explaining the basics of pixel art.
• Pixel art glossary: My attempt to makes sense of pixel art by collecting and making up technical terms.
• My thoughts on low resolution: Article originally made for Kano explaining my though process when making very low resolution art.
• My Thoughts on Style Consistency: An article about mixing and separating pixel art and other styles.
• Using 3D Reference: An quick article explaining how I like to use 3d reference for pixel art.

Tools

• Murder Engine: 2D Pixel art C# ECS Game Engine made by Isa! I usually help on the render and physics side of it.
• Color Chimera: Random palette and idea generator.
• Vector Chimera: (deprecated) Old tool I made for recoloring pixel art. Currently I would recommend Aseprite for this, but might have some niche use.
• MurMur: (deprecated) Dialogue programming language. Not that useful, but can be used as reference.

Resources

• Fonts: Just a couple fonts I did while ago.

Other stuff

• Gamedev.city: A gamedev focussed link aggregator that I host. A place to share resources with other fellow game developers.
• Dead Weight: A low-fantasy roleplay-light dungeon crawler tabletop RPG. A work in progress.
• Prints: I sell a few prints here!
