It's BartekDev's debut project and is still in development, with graphics expected to change as work continues. A Steam page is planned. On X/Twitter, BartekDev also shared other progress clips covering dolphins, storms, and ship combat, plus a short tutorial on sprite stacking: building a 3D reference model, offsetting layers along the Z-axis, adjusting perspective, and extruding thickness to fill gaps. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is sprite stacking and how is it done for a pixel-art game? Sprite stacking is a technique where a 3D reference model is built, then all layers are drawn in a single consistent style, offset along the Z-axis, with perspective adjusted and thickness extruded to fill gaps between layers. This creates the illusion of a 3D object from stacked 2D pixel-art slices, as demonstrated for a pixel-art naval game built in Godot. _Developers exploring pixel-art techniques can find workflow breakdowns like sprite stacking on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Realistic Water In Godot For Sid Meier's Pirates-Inspired Game](https://daily.dev/posts/realistic-water-in-godot-for-sid-meier-s-pirates-inspired-game-v9g3z2oal) · 80 LEVEL · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Check Out Stylized Water Created with Godot for WIP Cozy Game](https://daily.dev/posts/check-out-stylized-water-created-with-godot-for-wip-cozy-game-5natcevxj) · 80 LEVEL · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Catlantean 3D - Making Graphics Like It's 1993](https://daily.dev/posts/catlantean-3d---making-graphics-like-it-s-1993-klhjiloot) · Lobsters · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Rendering pretty sky in Around The World game](https://daily.dev/posts/rendering-pretty-sky-in-around-the-world-game-qfjxybtbk) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#godot](https://daily.dev/tags/godot) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/developer-shows-picturesque-winter-scene-for-pixel-art-naval-game-lh81psa9b) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Developer Shows Picturesque Winter Scene for Pixel-Art Naval Game","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/developer-shows-picturesque-winter-scene-for-pixel-art-naval-game-lh81psa9b","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/developer-shows-picturesque-winter-scene-for-pixel-art-naval-game-lh81psa9b"},"datePublished":"2026-10-29T12:04:56.576Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T12:05:26.854Z","description":"Developer BartekDev showed off a new winter environment for their pixel-art naval game built in Godot.
