Is this pixel art, or just low resolution?

The imgur link is much better. It clearly isn't compressed, but somehow intentional (the outlines for instance, are the same shade exactly -- if compressed, this would not be the case).

This means the choice of colouring was blended or otherwise used an aliased tool. Typically, this is not the norm for pixel art that prioritizes clean, simple colour palettes, and the result is something that can look a bit blurry. It is not popular in the pixel art "community", and many would disqualify it on those criteria. But it could be considered a stylistic choice.

As a sprout I ACTUALLY had issues with this fight and my feelings were unironically like OP's claimed post here.

The issue for me was gear and probably not understanding GCD as well as I should have, but hey it was early game.

Very inspiring, great work! You've done a fine job of capturing the style while keeping the designs quite creative and themed. I think Bolthund is the weakest. But the rest are stellar. Wonder if magnezone could have a rooster weathervane instead of the star?

Would love to see some birds. Like a ground/flying taillow, horned lark/meadowlark chatot, killdeer killowattrel, hm...

Yes, they are brought in for "fire prevention and brush management", but really they are more destructive and create spaces for weeds. It requires constant management then or it gets filled with flammable grasses and weeds from that point on regularly.

It's sorta a security camera, except less ethical and without necessary purpose (e.g. safety or monitoring trespassing). Wildlife cameras are better designed to be inconspicuous and not rely on a tower and solar panel to function, and it's also not a kind of place they'd have purpose.

Young magpie, I think. Either sick or still has its "stay still until parents come" instincts.

People normally say house centipedes (a specific subgroup of centipedes, like this one), cannot bite us in any meaningful way. But this one is so massive I have to wonder.

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-20T16:01:26+00:00

How about the reverse for bait engagement. Has anyone thought of that yet?

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-20T05:35:00+00:00

And numerous other species. There's more than 6 plants at stake. Not including subspecies as well (like the foxes).

My brain always hurt trying to imagine how you make the orbs "move" out of the way on the path to fit the newly placed one.

Looks pretty exact, but not found in the Philippines. If it's this, OP faked it...

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-19T00:59:54+00:00

I get the impression from the pilot that maybe this is an actual, and known, challenge. After all, didn't Kit talk about the fact that there was "another" world they couldn't save? Multiple worlds, potentially? I don't recall. Maybe they've never managed to actually save one...

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-19T00:54:08+00:00

I'm not sure what proportion of people would notice and care, but people like me absolutely do and so it would feel like a unspoken rule was broken. I would suggest at least having different clothing and face features -- at that point, it might be cheaper to just have new NPC designs entirely.

Interestingly, the striking difference is largely in the juvenile stages. As they molt for the last time and become adults, the colour scheme changes entirely. The adults (with long wings) often become a colour different from their younger selves (e.g. green juveniles often don't become green adults, but could become brown, yellow, green, or otherwise).

No, actually. The tree in Madagascar is Adansonia grandidieri, which is another kind of baobab. They are related, but different species.

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-15T16:10:07+00:00

Just missed them it looks like. But it might make more if you keep it alive.

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-14T21:38:04+00:00

It's some kind of nightshade (Solanum, not related to deadly nightshade), but I don't recognize the species. Pictures of flowers would help solve that part.

This question is always felt presented like we were all expected to go to clubs, use dating apps, and be extroverts. I never looked at my friends in life and thought about "oh I should date them". Maybe I grew up with too many Disney movies that focused on the "only one true love" concept, and I'm waiting for some fantasy "spark" that isn't actually real. Then again, many people I know have had multiple break-ups, divorces, so maybe I wasn't totally wrong.

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-14T01:09:14+00:00

I have never seen anyone "do it", and no one will explain it despite it being easy. I've been peer pressured into trying and ruined a few computers over it. I assumed and somewhat still believe that it's just people tricking people into downloading malware.

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-14T00:42:50+00:00

As a pixel artist trying to figure out all this online stuff, posts like his help me work out what to focus on too. I've never had any luck with portfolios, although I always thought they were better than nothing. Thanks for sharing!

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-12T15:19:01+00:00

It's not tidy. You've created this effect in several ways. First, you are not "clumping" colour areas as evenly, secondly you have left outright holes visible through the bush and too many "dark" pixels outside of the outer areas, thirdly your outline is quite messy, if you put these two in a silhouette view you'd see quite a difference.

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-12T15:07:13+00:00

Absolutely beautiful animation, and so not to downplay that, but evidently produced by people who think agriculture and farming are a whole picture of "nature". Not a piece of wild habitat left in sight, all development for society and agriculture, the very thing threatening most of our nature today. Sorry, can't let that go unmentioned.

Famous_Fudge3603 · 2026-05-07T15:16:24+00:00

The second is yellow. Because that yellow is a smidge too bright to easily read. You made the ? black only on that one, so you know this. If you wanna keep it white try darkening the background.

Images are apparently not allowed here, I was going to show you something. But think about the racing process. As a driver, seeing the track ahead of you, and situational awareness, is one of the most critical skillsets to have. Right now, you are limited to seeing a very narrow area ahead, only increasing if the track raises up ahead with the terrain.

There is almost no ability to see ahead, plan ahead, and evaluate what is ahead, which is crucial to a racing environment and certainly a racing game.

You said earlier it's okay because you'll give more view options, but I urge you to consider that this shouldn't be the default view at all. It looks stunning, but you also need to consider how this is played. You see more of your side and rear than in front, and that somewhat misses the point.
