I'm working on an indie game and I get surprisingly decent results if I ask for a basic object (think 300 mutations of a key or book) and downsample it to the 48x48 sprite sheet size. They look weird as hell at normal resolution but as pixel art with specific resize sampling methods it's a lot less weird, and good for rapid prototyping.
- dron57 4y agoThat's such an awesome use case! Do you have any examples you can share?

Note that this does not replace a good pixel art artist either - for things like walls, anything that needs to connect together or tile like a dungeon wall or castle, or a cohesive art style, this will not do. But for rapidly identifiable different quest item drops it's not terrible.
- cyborgx7 4y agoThat is very cool and a clever use the technology. Any place where someone can follow your development efforts?
- ev1 4y agoHaha, I'm not even partway into picking a game engine. I was going to try out Unity but then the whole "bought by adtech" thing happened.
