There’s also an archive of some really good tutorials on anti-aliasing, fighter sprites, chibi fighter sprites, etc etc that were wiped off the internet years back, worth browsing through: mega.nz
Carter Turner
it's nice, too bad everyone just uses 3d now
Justin Brooks
I dislike how many indie pixel games have shit pixel art. But there's nothing wrong with it.
Jordan Hill
Shin_shiros is amazing.
James Moore
On the topic, do you guys like this kind of isometric urban spriting style? Most people probably see it and instantly think habbo, but I still like it, and honestly I liked it a lot back with habbo too.
Jack Hill
Christian Garcia
Depends on the colors used.
Lincoln Turner
Here's another. It's not so much just being isometric, but sort of bright and futuristic. I like it.
Joshua Ward
Juan Sullivan
This one looks good, but the car feels out of place.
Benjamin Stewart
This stuff is so detailed and high res it doesn't even start to look like pixel anymore.
I know it is but I don't get why they just don't go full load and just make it normal.
Tyler Anderson
I agree, this one's probably better.
Pixel art looks really crisp by nature, that might be why.
Daniel Gomez
Pixel art is just another painting style, like digital, pointillism, etc. Some artists want go beyond what normal pixel art is capable of.
Samuel Perry
Deceiver for example.
Christopher Campbell
Stuff like that looks so good
Henry Perry
Gabriel Scott
Reminds me of snes shadowrun.
Dominic King
I like Tea Basiras stuff. Still waiting on that Suika game
Xavier Smith
They work amazingly well for horror games and point'n clicks.
Isaiah Sullivan
I like to see GOOD pixel art in games. SNES tier at minimum. If it looks like a NES game it goes into the trash. Pixel art gets a bad rap because of all the garbage tier pixel art. I've actually seen people unironically praising Celeste's artstyle. Like... The fuck? That game is the definition of pixelshit. It looks like a NES game with better backgrounds. But give me something that looks like Katana Zero and now we're talking. Speaking of that, is Katana Zero worth it for the price? I'm interested because the artstyle looks good but I've heard it's pretty short.
David Roberts
pc-98 had great high-res pixel art. A shame most of it was porn.
Jayden Campbell
The PC-98 stuff confuses me. I read that dithering was vital to art design for those games due to some technical limitation, and that it was this incredibly laborious process that would be extremely hard to replicate now, but in practice I don't get what separates it from the plain old dithering in any pixel art we have now.

I made this recently.

Metal Slug is peak pixel.
Cooper Reyes
Juan Brown
That's because you're seeing the whole level. Old games have stages bigger than that, the camera is focusing on a small part.
Pic related is also a camera pan
Jordan King
John Rivera
Connor Perez
James Brooks
True, that's how it works for shoot 'em up stage backgrounds too. They look too high res almost when you put them in a single picture.
Adrian Clark
Pretty sure that's high res art and not actually pixel art, but yes. CAVE left pixel art in their backgrounds really quickly, and event he bigger bosses
Dylan Hernandez
Cameron Howard
Adam Reed
Oh, I guess you're right. I know the previous DDPs were pixel though at least.
Jason Parker
The second donpachi game specifically had really beautiful pixel art, wish I had some rips of the backgrounds.
Robert White
Justin Turner
Why erotic pixel art is more interesting than normal erotic art ?

Can you actually get a job doing pixel art?

Yes

pixel art is so ugly

Fucking nice

Any tip for correctly making clusters in pixel art ?
Dylan Garcia
Ethan Mitchell
How do i make pixel art? Please help
Bentley Collins
Making clusters is just pixel art in general, yeah?
Try the first link in the first reply, it's very good.
Justin Rogers
Dylan Smith
Evan Mitchell
So what is better to learn; pixel, or low-poly?
Connor Diaz
Brody Morales
speaking of low poly, there will be low poly in this game too

Elijah Ward
Both
Colton Cruz
Usually no. There is a lot of good (as in visually appealing) pixel art, but these days its so commonly used that it just feels lazy. They dumb down the game, they dumb down the graphics, and we get pixel platformer #8567329.
There are games that have a style to their pixel art I appreciate over others. Sword and Sworcery, Downwell, Hyper Light Drifter, minit,.
Tyler Reed
Kingdom: Classic.
It has pixel art that I like and the gameplay is quite good.
David White
>I only play mainstream indie games
Mason Williams
I'm a retard, can somebody explain to me what dithering is in a simple way?
Anthony Thompson
instead of using a new colour that's in between A and B, you use dots of A and B to give the illusion of it being a shade in between them
Hudson Garcia
thanks user i asked a friend who does pixel art and he talked for an hour without telling me what dither was.
Sebastian Hill

David Myers
is that dragon quest?
Christopher Evans
is aseprite a good software for pixel art? I have a wacom but i have trouble using it it's so uncomfortable, I can do better with a mouse but people tells me that a tablet is the only way to go but really I don't know if it's the tablet or me but it fucking sucks
Kayden Ortiz
I use GraphicsGale for pixel art.
Brandon Scott
I know pixel art is basically clusters, but, when I try to make cluster they don't look natural .
Tyler Price
Aseprite is great. But I have a Surface Pro to draw on. If you can get a good deal on Clip Studio it's got great brushes for pixel art
Joshua Bell
love this kino
Oliver Edwards
Try reading the links in the first post, they cover the fundamentals well.
Ryder Cox
Shitty and outdated. The only kind of faggots that cling to pixelshit are nostalgia/DUDERETRO fags.
Gavin Roberts
Is there any downside to ending the day during a meltdown?
Kevin Morgan
what game?
Dylan Powell
Owen Roberts
Yes, although you'll have to work freelance for a good while. It's a niche after all.
Aseprite is fantastic. Animating in it is really easy.
I had the same problem, my shitty little wacom wasn't cutting it for pixel art, so I used to work with a mouse until I got a screen tablet. Eventually switched to a screen tablet and haven't looked back since. It's faster and much lighter on the wrist.
Nathaniel Ramirez
you guys should try piskel, I played around with it today trying to copy a megaman sprite.
Jaxon Miller
Good thread.
Juan Baker
Please no
Cameron Myers
Oliver Adams
Andrew Wood
I miss the gameboy advance so much.
Luis Jackson
He needs to do more of her.
Robert Williams
This had to have taken at least four hours.
Jonathan Smith
I thought this game was about zombies, not terminators.
Cameron Wright
Thanks for this

You all came back, huh?

Carson Sanchez
Anyone have some pixel art that they made themselves?
Juan Smith
Yeah, but im not very good, but ive been trying to make pixel art everyday
Grayson Adams
This way too long
Lincoln Sanchez
...
Cooper Allen
Actually, can you upscale it? Its a bit too small to see
Ethan Martinez
>that wizardry at 1:27
what the shit
Carter Lewis
I don't make it nearly as often as I used to, but yeah.
Parker Evans
Damn, this is really good user
Kevin Torres
Done a while back, just so out of practice that I don't really care much.
Julian King
That's pretty rad, dude.
Samuel Powell
what was that game again ? i remember following it at the same time that salt & sanctuary was being developped.
(too bad s&s looks like dogshit btw)
Alexander Gomez
what do you mean with screen tablet? a shitty regular tablet or a drawing tablet with screen?
Cooper Jackson
it’s a warrior from DQ3, but fanart
Wyatt Russell
Does anyone else use aseprite? Do you know how to dither without having to place it dot per dot?
Jacob Miller
Here's an old one
Cameron Ward
Thats some good shit user
Jaxon Rivera
I don't know about Aseprite, but GraphicsGale has a patterned brush that lets you make dithering without doing it dot by dot.
Maybe look for something like that in Aseprite?
Caleb Sanchez
Easton Perry
Damn, dude.
That's pretty good good.
Charles Diaz
Game just got translated the other day, go play it, its great
Nolan Rodriguez
Anthony Green
Camden Brooks
The latter. It speeds up the process a lot.
Bentley Martin
Where can I play this?
Ryder Cooper
AFAIK this is the only way
Make a custom brush from a selection with Ctrl-B

God, the GBA was such a pure breeding ground for incredible pixel art. The specs and time period were just right, pixel art was still very much required, yet the industry had matured enough to know exactly how to handle it. There will probably never be anything like it ever again as far as consoles go. Sad how developers for DS and subsequent handheld games often opted for low quality jpegs just because they could.
Isaac Martinez
Pixel art is soulful when done right.
Lucas Cruz
so what is easier to learn pixel or low poly?
best resources for both?
Henry Stewart
DS was for low poly what GBA was for pixel art
Cooper Ortiz
Elijah Kelly
Adam Price
Tyler Gomez
Pixel art is far easier but it's time consuming and still requires a ton of artistic knowledge, and is subject to much higher standards. Low poly requires more technical knowledge in addition to artistic knowledge, but it's at a kind of a "anything goes" stage in its life, and there's a possibility it will stay that way if it never experiences a boom like pixel art did.

Any one know of any decent pixel sprite games.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I don't like pixel art. It just looks dated to me. Plus 2D games mostly tend to be platformers and feel samey.
I much prefer 3D polygonal graphics, especially with shaders or a unique art style.
Jonathan Myers
Hello FP2 dev, your game is my most anticipated of the year. Release date fucking when?
John Perry
Is that Zelda Classic quest? If so, which one?
Ian Hill
Everything about early 90s PC-Engine games turns me on. I fucking LOVE how cosy the backgrounds are, full of obsolet tech and stuff. Reminds me of being a kid, but I'm hornier.
Lucas Fisher

is there a easy place for translated pc98 games and how to play them?

I love this kind of stuff. You're right that the first thought I had was Habbo, but that's not a bad thing. A city sim in this style would be amazing.
Josiah Edwards
I was born in 83. Games have gotten better since the days of endless shovelware mascot platformers and adventure game bullshit

No you weren't. Fuck off zoomer.

The pixel/2d look was like 70% of the reason I played trickster online for so long back in the day. I wish there were more 2d mmos like this. I tried wakfu but it was boring as heck
Asher Hughes
i do like me some good pixel art but these random anime girls do nothing for me. seen one, you've seen 'em all.
Jack Jenkins
Don't know about the rest of the game but those backgrounds are clearly just regular art, not pixel art
Jacob Nguyen
Jaxson Perez
Sorry mods didn't notice the tiddy
Colton Cruz
it is, but all the monsters/characters were pixel

So it seems, makes me miss Ragnarok Online not really, even the good MMOs are really hot trash, but pretty comfy graphics though
