Chain of Challenges, episode 27.

Have you ever wanted to make your own pixel art farming simulator? This challenge could be the closest thing.

Build a mockup of a game about a farm, greenhouse, garden, arboretum, forest nursery, etc. in a top down projection, using 32x32 tiles on a 512x320 canvas. You can fill it all with tiles or you can add an UI, but keep the main game screen showing full tiles (for example 9x9 tiles and UI around it).

You have to use the Farmland-20 palette by Eclipse89.


 

Canvas Size - Exactly 512x320px (horizontal).
Colours - Max 20 (use the provided palette).
Transparency - No.

Chain of Challenges, episode 26.


Are you sick of avatar challenges that force you to draw a head? This week, we are having another avatar challenge, but no humans, no animals, and no heads at all.

Draw a standard PJ avatar of a potted plant. But drawing greenery with greens would not be very challenging, right? That's why you have to use the not-so-very-green Mushroom Palette by Jimison3.
 

Canvas Size - Exactly 64x64px.
Colours - Max 14 (use the provided palette).
Transparency - No.
Animation - Optional
