I'm the solo developer behind TILEZ, a 2D creative sandbox where every tile can be a tiny machine.
I've spent most of my time building the code, systems, and backend that make TILEZ work — but I'm definitely not the most creative person when it comes to making beautiful pixel art.
So I'm looking for pixel artists who want to experiment with TILEZ and see what they can create.
You could build:
• Pixel art scenes & environments
• Animated creations
• Interactive artwork
• Game boards & tilesets
• Characters and creatures
• Retro-style games
• Or just something weird and beautiful
If you create something awesome, I'd love to feature it in the final game.
Your work could be included in the built-in TILEZ library for players to discover and play with, with full credit to you and links to your portfolio, socials, or website if you'd like.
You can also use TILEZ as a creative playground — experiment with your art, build interactive scenes, test the system, and help me find bugs along the way. I'd love some feedback on the tools available and suggestions in that area too.
I've built the tools.
Now I want to see what a pixel artist can do with them.
If you're interested, the Steam Playtest is open. I'd love to see what you create.

It's an early build - the UI will be updated soon and content added.
P.S. If you share and I end up featuring your creation in TILEZ, I'll also send you a free Steam key as a thank-you!
