ʕ •́؈•̀ ₎ Hi there everyone!

I'm Nathan, a 2d game designer, and I make tutorials weekly on my youtube channel.

I've been looking to switch to and cover open source tools for game creation in the past few months, and took the leap recently. I first explored a dozen of software to replace proprietary tools.
Among them was Krita 2.9, a great surprise after having tested the early 2.8 version on Windows. It offers a great drawing feel, a relatively mature toolset and more importantly is getting frequent, substantial updates! I'm really eager to see free (as in free speech) software get more and more recognition and visibility among professionals, like blender or LibreOffice. I think that Krita is well on its way as far as this is concerned, and should slowly become the Blender of 2d.

They are all right there: 50+ Game Design/Art Tutorials.

ʕ •́؈•̀ ₎ I hope you'll like the tuts! Don't hesitate to share your thoughts on them.

Looking forward to your pixel art video! I dabble in it a little myself

Thanks ramskulls! I'm working on the first pixel art video this afternoon - there should be a few actually (hopefully ).
And I updated the first post with the latest tutorial: Painting with Krita - The Game Asset Workflow.

The tutorials are also part of their own Playlist now.

Thanks for these! I do some pixel art myself but would love to learn some new techniques! I've also wanted to make games for a very long time, and thes look really useful!

Hey there! I'm back with 2 tutorials dedicated to Krita. There is one more to go in the current series. Then, I'm planning a FAQ video (so don't hesitate to ask if you have any question!) and should move back to some game design related content.

Krita tutorials are back on the GDquest channel! While the Kickstarter campaign is running (and certainly after it as well), you can expect 1 to 2 tutorials per week dedicated to your favorite software!

ʕ •̀ᴥ•́ʔ I'm back with 8 new videos!

I'm working on a 3 part series on painting rocks for video games:

I also released 2 videos dedicated to the major new beta features. The traditional animation toolset and the new rendering engine coming in Krita 3.0:

Last but not least, I've covered Krita's new features since version 2.9.5. In these minor releases, there have not only been lots of bug fixes: we've also seen quite a few usability improvements!
