Low budget, small dev team, focus on other aspects of gameplay, etc.

Doesn't work with all games, works with some.

I hate to agree with a frogposter, but
indie pixelshit is trash. the fad can't die out soon enough.

Sometimes it can be good, I suppose.

Most of the time it comes off as lazy, like the Duke Nukem mod being praised recently.

>game I was never going to play
>has graphics I don't like

Low budget is a good reason. But my issue is that alot of the time they try to sell their retro graphics as a positive feature.

Depends, but pixel art is cheaper, while not looking dated.
Image Stardew Valley, Into the beach or Va-11 Hall-A with shitty 3d models

Game can be good with bad graphics but good graphics won't save a bad game. It's good that some companies prioritize the important things.

Why the fuck do retards do this?

Perceived lower standards for what is acceptable

To cash in on that nostalgia, yeah I’m looking at you sonic mania, it would been better to use a style similar to the sonic 2 hd fan game

I can turn a concept sketch into a 16bit sprite faster and with more satisfying results than if I turned the concept sketch into a 64bit sprite or a 3d render

>all the seething retro graphics fags itt
Kek

Hotline Miami was a mistake

Making the game art look like the promotional art is interesting. Some of the stuff could look better but for a fan game it's well done.

What counters seethe? Cope I think? You should go cope or something

cope loses to seethe actually
you should always just play it safe and go sneed, it has no counter
