who am i?
My name is Justin Le (he/they). I'm known as Piksal, PiksalChaos, or Pixi online. Don't call me any of those in person though or I'll look at you like (ಠ_ಠ)
I'm a high school junior (assuming that I don't forget to update this page) with a bit of a passion for art and computer science. I want to make things that are expressive and fun!
This website is mostly just a playground for me to experiment. Maybe I'll make a professional website, but that's a job for future me.
what do i do?
My two main skills and passions are game development and animation. I'm always learning something new though, and I'm currently interested in getting into webdev and UI/UX.
what do i use
I use Godot for game development as of currently, but in the past I've had a lot of experience in LOVE2D. Phaser JS is a lot of fun too!
When it comes to animation, I'm most experienced with Adobe Animate with my school-provided Creative Cloud. I'm shifting towards other software though, like Tahoma2D and ToonSquid.
For all things pixel-art, my favorite is Aseprite. You can actually get it for free if you build it yourself. There's also the free and open source Pixelorama if I'm too lazy to build Aseprite.
For video game music, I use LMMS.
