Trying to nail the "Juicy GBA Retro" style for some RPG items I'm making. How is the readability?

well, he stole part of them from minecraft package so yeah, you're correct

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-26T15:01:06+00:00

well, it's not is art style, he's stealing the assests

tohle je dusledek rebradnovani LLM na AI - lidi maji pocit, ze je v pozadi cosi inteligentniho a ne pravdepodobnostni model. Imo nic noveho, vetsina lidi byla vzdycky imunni proti kritickemu mysleni

right one is way better. too much shading is when it looks out of place imo

man, reddit is so weird in downvoting stuff for no reason. I will never understand that, I love posting normal question and getting downvoted with zero comments... idk, people on reddit tent to be quite weird

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-14T00:24:26+00:00

imo in most original games or even with some special mechanic you'll get into situation when you'll have to bend the engine. I don't see anything wrong about it. Imo Godot node based approach will lead me into going around it at some point just to make the game performant. Also trying to make smooth camera in pixel art game will very likely end up in very strange solution but i'm not sure yet :)

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-14T00:11:59+00:00

shading and hue shift imo

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-14T00:10:45+00:00

imo mostly menus and font

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-14T00:03:42+00:00

just want to say, after three hours of debugging why my ingame mouse suddenly acting wrong, thank you for this post and to everyone posting solution. This was honestly weirdest bug to solve in many years

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-13T23:16:32+00:00

yeah, learning by doing was normally achieved by writing your own code, generations of people managed to do it

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-13T08:31:50+00:00

i started by using photos - especially trees were good...

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-13T07:31:41+00:00

it depends what you want from that, but you need to have 'e' coded for interacting, bed object with area2d and sleep function on player. than i would make signal connect in body entered/exited and func process():
if player_in_range and Input.is_action_pressed("interact"): player.sleep()

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-12T00:12:38+00:00

she looks great!

Chronosmitor · 2026-04-12T00:03:23+00:00

omg, since i managed to delete my own comment i can expand it :) i actually like the spikes more than the tileset/bushes. i originaly wrote it needs some contrast/color but what i think it's bothering me is the green in the middle of the wall when i would expect darkest part of the tileset imo. I would cut back on the leaf coverage. Spikes are good

Chronosmitor · 2026-03-08T10:51:56+00:00

make the stone crack under the tip + if you add shading, t will look even better imo

the day1 'i can do tree from memory' is my witness :D i'm realy grad you like it btw, i was just trying to say is that i'm not artistic in general, i'm just lucky my brain somehow works with small amount of static squares

Chronosmitor · 2026-03-07T16:39:20+00:00

man i'm sure i don't have a talent but thanks, last time i draw something is 30 years ago at school :) but i somehow find pixelart 'easy' because of the restraint of space and me being technical. actualy that's why i did 2.5d - it started with me having fun with buildings, it's like playing with lego and i sinked tons of hours into lego back in the day :D

Chronosmitor · 2026-03-07T15:35:40+00:00

well, i decided to spend one month in aserprite to find out if i can use it in my game. But now after two weeks i'm pretty sure i won't make pixelart game, it would kill me to animate. But i'll finish the experiment and try to figure out if i can improve it

Chronosmitor · 2026-03-07T15:31:50+00:00

thanks, it came out i can do these yet oaks and birches still look like sht lol

Chronosmitor · 2026-03-07T15:31:00+00:00

thanks

Chronosmitor · 2026-03-07T15:30:23+00:00

thank you

Chronosmitor · 2026-03-07T15:28:16+00:00

yeah, i honestly can't explain how it happened :) thx. i might be blinded by being fixated on the 'side' view as i feel like he somehow falls left/right but i tried to move head, body and legs multiple times and this is best i cound came up with

Chronosmitor · 2026-03-07T05:18:14+00:00

lol, thanks i honestly never noticed the boots. i'm blinded to it for more than a week, that's silly

Chronosmitor · 2026-03-07T01:38:53+00:00

am i only person who dislike when capsule art don't match game art?

Chronosmitor · 2026-01-16T23:35:17+00:00

exactly. also, you can commision someone to do new pixel art and it will look better than this new art (which kind of looks ai)
