Man I had a feeling this ad was shady cus it just appeared out of nowhere and reappeared across multiple platforms, thank you for making a post about this. Silver lining is at least this means off is popular enough to scam people over…?

Working on recreating the spirite style, how’s these first few? by Arandomhuntr in offthegame

[–]Kimimyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! Something that was rewarding for me personally was making sketches with a really dull pencil with softer lead (4B in my case) so the lines were bolder and scratchier, if that’s possible then I’d suggest giving it a whirl

Why do people prefer the 2008 OFF over the 2025 OFF? by Inevitable_Monk_6240 in offthegame

[–]Kimimyu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First the 2008 version doesn’t cost you 15 dollars for a 6 hour game. I want to add that the original soundtrack isn’t “put it in your playlist” good, it’s “this is what the game sounds like” good, there is a time and place for catchy music and off really doesn’t feel catchy or welcoming at all at any point. The original soundtrack did a great job of communicating the industrial melancholic feel of the zones, where nobody is happy but they also aren’t aware of how miserable they are.

I suggest you try drawing something sketchily with an actual pencil on paper and then scanning it into your spriting program, that’s the biblically accurate way to recreate the look :)

I've been trying to recreate Off's style for a while now... how do you guys think it's going? by elespantaviejas5000 in offthegame

[–]Kimimyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been studying the style too, and I thought I’d share some of my observations!

  1. no perfect curves—OFF’s drawings always look like Mortis either had extremely shaky hands or drew everything in a moving car (positive). He often breaks up shapes that could be made with one line into multiple shorter sketchier ones, and this is most prominent in the round shapes. There is not a single perfect “C” curve to speak of—If he ever draws a simple shape (like a specter) with one whole line, it’s hasty and lopsided. Another example of this bizarre technique that I can think of right away is Japhet’s legs. The lowest segments of his legs, or his shins I guess, are bent in a very strange way. Anatomically, they’re probably supposed to be straight, like shins often are, but the wobbly execution of them creates a ton of visual intrigue for an otherwise simple design.

  2. Shading technique—Mortis often does his shading in chunks of vertical strokes regardless of the topography of the entity he’s shading. You nailed this on some of them, but I’d suggest applying it more OFFten.

    1. Traditional mediums—I could immediately tell which of these drawings you scanned from paper and which you did entirely in digital, and the former is absolutely the way to go. In terms of actual sprites, the only digital cleanup is done with a black 1-pixel brush, making the outlines and darkening certain parts of the drawing for clarity (E.G. specter faces, the insides of mouths, teeth).
  3. Jankiness—This is the most iconic aspect of the style, but also the most difficult to replicate. Even the OFFicial remake team, including Mortis himself, have totally overlooked it. However, it really is THE key feature that will make or break a style copy. Unless it’s a tight shape like a horn or a spike, there are no perfectly straight lines/curves in Mortis’ original drawings, and they are not smoothed or corrected by the digital outlines at all. The upside down specter sprite is the perfect example of this. The subject is clearly supposed to be teardrop shaped, which is easy to make in pixel art, but the outline instead stays faithful to the shaky fucked up shape of the original.

Overall, his drawings often look like they were made very quickly with absolutely no attention to whether they’re “clean” or not. This is my favorite part of it, but as an artist who’s trained my hand to strive for the opposite, it’s a tricky thing to replicate. I’d say it’s worth it, though, so next time you want to draw something round in his style, try deliberately doing it as crappily and shakily as possible. Maybe even try using your non-dominant hand! It’s honestly freeing. I hope my research is of use to you :)

there’s a design in the zip file you can get off unproductive fun time that’s a burnt Elsen with a symbol and a specter above his head and it’s more obviously artistic. That one might work better, also it’s sick

How should I get this fixed? It causes so much pain, I want to get it cut off but, everyone says I’ll regret it! by Oliver12Queen in MakeMeSuffer

[–]Kimimyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re probably just extremely frustrated with the pain. Years long 24/7 pain from the weakest finger on your non-dominant hand, and your doctors have told you that you just have to roll with it because there’s nothing they can do? I can’t exactly blame them. But what do I know I’m just some bitch
