Pixel Size Community Discussion

[Rystar]

You know what, it's not the resurgence of pixel art in indie games that bothers me, it's that faux NES style that too many of them have. I mean it can be well done in some instances, but I feel like it's being so overused it's became cliché

It's not really that it's overused so much as it's never done very well. Everyone seems to stick to this weird mishmash of NES limitations and whatever the jolly hell they want to add onto their sprites. This wouldn't be so bad if they didn't insist on claiming it was "NES RETRO INFLUENCED GRAPHICS MADE BY PEOPLE WHO REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES". God, that stuff's so annoying.
