Well, it really depends on the scale. If you do small sprites then it can be really satisfying. Pixel art is a niche but it is still alive and I have been considering to investigate up-scaling methods that are more suitable for it. For example there is a game OpenTTD (https://www.openttd.org https://www.openttd.org) that is based on the pixel art and while attempts have been made to great higher resolution graphics based on the renders then most of these attempts, with some exceptions, have fallen flat. So people play with mixed graphics and such methods could make it more enjoyable if the up scaling of the lower resolution sprites would work better. You can check out the forum https://www.tt-forums.net/viewforum.php?f=26 https://www.tt-forums.net/viewforum.php?f=26 and mostly inactive http://www.simuscape.net/simutalk/index.php http://www.simuscape.net/simutalk/index.php for examples of custom graphics made for this game (and older hack, TTDPatch).
