Bonus points if you are an old Idle Thumbs fan for my dorky title here. But I’m on a roll today, making a few little bits and pieces of beginner pixel art for The Tunnel!

The first scene starts here, in a sort of first person view of the controls of the main character’s space ambulance. I used a bunch of 90s space games as reference for a cockpit, and my own desire to make a bright, ridiculous (and mountainous!) space landscape.

A few details I’m thinking of adding:

  • A couple of space bases in the landscape. Your character drives from base to base doing both emergency care and routine medical checkups, it’s meant to be a wilderness, yes, but a fairly established one with living/working pods for miners, terraformers, tons of engineers and support staff. Etc.

  • a space-y coffee thermos, this is for a paramedic, after all.

  • something akin to those fluffy dice hanging from a mirror in a truck. Gently goofy, nothing that would actually occlude vision (it’s an emergency vehicle), but that does speak to a certain personal connection/comfort with the vehicle itself.

This is certainly still an early WIP and I very VERY much welcome feedback and advice on improving what’s going on here.
