The galaxy isn't going to conquer itself. Send your puny humans to explore planets...you never know what you'll unlock.

Even puny humans can point and shoot...once given clear instructions. And targets.

Hoarding space garbage is much more interesting than keeping puny humans alive.

tinyBuild Connect 2026 - Publisher Showcase Teaser
The 2026 edition of our special publisher showcase is scheduled for September 14 at 8 AM PDT / 11 AM EDT / 17:00 CEST.
Drawing every rotation of every ring by hand sounded like a lot of unnecessary suffering, even by Despot’s standards. So our animator @mawawiz tried mixing 3D animation with hand-drawn pixel art: Blender for the rotating rings, Aseprite for the cleanup and effects 🧵⬇️
In Aseprite, I changed the cyan color to transparent in every frame. It needed a little polishing, but not much. To create a smooth loop, I copied the finished frames and arranged them in reverse order.
Here’s an early test with just one ring.
Then I did a bit of overdrawing in Aseprite, fixed stray pixels, and refined some lines by hand. I also animated the glowing sphere, flashes of light, and other effects frame by frame.
And that was it! The Mass Drive module was read.
Just a heads up that I’m still learning Blender, so this is a look at what worked for me. I'm open to your feedback and tips in the comments!
