Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.

So much amazing art in this game. Whole game is a painting, quite literally even.

For real.

AFAIK supergiant does use a fair bit of 3D, but their games are rendered orthographically. Together with a bunch of other tricks in the animations and shading, it gives everything a 2D look. And a lot of the things that don't need to turn and move I think are indeed drawn, which mixes in perfectly.

Yea you can tell that the characters in the game like Zagreus and the enemies are 3D (although rendered in a way that makes them look painted), but most everything else is painted.

I've still deliberately avoided any and all information about the sequel as I want to wait for the full release to experience it :)
