When I read that title I wondered how the colors get quantized, because... 8-bit! No, it's just a pixelating crystal (?)... Still nice.

- nottorp 2y agoJust ?!? I clicked on the comments to complain about all those indies still making pixel art games in 2024. But this is an actually fun physical item!

Indie developers aren’t “still” making pixel art, they’re making pixel art to a level that would’ve been impossible back then, full of particles, light effects, filters, and more. To me it hands down pushes more creative boundaries than the same old boring 3D trying to look ever more realistic.
- nottorp 2y agoSo your world is either pixelated or 3D? There is nothing in between? Hint: check the last Monkey Island for example.
- jmorenoamor 2y agoThere are lots of great 2d non pixel games, maybe pixels were an overused trend, but it's still a legit art style.
- latexr 2y agoOf course there are things in between. There are even video games outside of it with no graphics like A Blind Legend. So what’s your point? I’d appreciate if you argued in good faith instead of reflexively fighting a straw man. You haven’t answered what makes you feel the need to (in your words) click on the comments to complain about artists picking pixel art as their choice.
