Like I just need to specify, because I don't care if whatever I make gets zero response online. I'm not built like that.

However discussing this with other artists, I can very confidently say: support artists around you even in the smallest ways and you'll help them grow and feel motivated.

I speak with authority but it's just my stupid theory bullshit, lol.

This is partially why a empty gmod map at 3pm is nothing special but at 3am a subtle soundscape sound can rly fuck you up. You're more in tune to avoid danger.

the random cave noises + sleep deprivation makes your amygdala kick into high gear and you have way more cortisol in your body making you more anxious.

Combine this with the monsters and the ease of self suggestibility of some people and any empty game world can be horror unto itself.

really hard if you're bad at video games because they come outta nowhere with way more difficulty.

if the full meter super takes longer than 3 seconds im not playing the game for very long.

I've been playin ffxii PC port recently and while they did an okayish job on models and textures for the PC/next gen release, but looking at it you just know a lot of the choices in this game is solely so it looks insane on a 4:3 CRT running at 480p or w/e and its a shame a lot of that's lost on pc.

the alpha textures here blend so much better at lower resolutions vs high resolution. Yet most today would probably play rayman 2 at 1440p lol...
That and the widescreen fixation... eugh. A lot of games were designed around 4:3 and were tested endlessly around 4:3, not around the widescreen hack.

I mean transport fever 3 is coming out q1 next year. I'll be playing that for like 3 months straight lol.

like we all know what is gonna be in those awards shows anyway, a third person something running in unreal engine 5, nice, great. I guess people crave that. But I'm not into that so...

I don't even know how to draw properly and most art youtube tutorials/tips are pretty useless to me.

I just ask better artists for help when I'm truly stuck cuz the youtubes do nothing for me

lospec.com/pixel-art-tu... Pedro's tutorials

If you need specific help I can help

With sprites it's super important to be able to imply shapes with as few pixels as possible. A single darker pixel can be enough to imply a depression on a material etc but gimme a second and I'll grab something

Remember that sprites are made up of shapes and you need to consider what shapes you want to include.

It's fine, it's only for swedish people but it's pretty crazy.

The system was always this open until "Entrepeneurs"... ummm "disrupted" it by making it easy/free to search up things.
