How is this a gif and not a webm?

Black magic and sorcery.   
 It's an old file on my computer and sometimes they don't automatically convert

I think there's a certain size threshold for how many megabytes a gif can have and if they exceed it they become webms.

Who ever made these needs to make video games with this art style.
User avatar #31 to #2 - muppburg (08/20/2015) [-]
Beacuse there aren't that many pixel games already
User avatar #53 to #31 - muffincannibal (08/20/2015) [-]
There aren't enough pixel games with a good art style.
#34 to #31 - joiasfdj (08/20/2015) [-]
I agree with you, **** that other guy who thumbed you down.

And to anyone saying **** like "Yeah, but we need one with high quality pixel art like this one." you can stfu, those games exist and they suck.

As it turns out, leaving hopefully nobody surprised, highly animated, overly 2D views are ******* hard to look at when playing a game and it takes a ton of effort to make games in this style.

Don't get me wrong i really like 8bit style things, however i think it has been overdone in video games it just feels like a lazy cash in for nostalgic people, i know there are games that look really good with the art style like shovel knight, hotline miami etc and sure making the graphics/sound/music does take effort but after a while when you see it used in pretty much every new game, it's not really special anymore it's just like "oh look yet another pixel game" then you have games that don't even try anything new and just uses "pixel" in it's name as a selling point
#48 to #37 - anon (08/20/2015) [-]
those examples look really good to you? that's exactly the definition of lazy art done for quick cash

I always prefer real quality 2d art to 3d art as you don't have to deal with all the graphical bugs (aliasing, LOD's) that come with 3d art.
#54 to #48 - theguynamedme (08/20/2015) [-]
Like this work of art. This game is so amazing.
#38 to #37 - joiasfdj (08/20/2015) [-]
I mean, yea, we're still in agreement.
#50 to #34 - anon (08/20/2015) [-]
Shovel Knight, Rogue Legacy, Lone Survivor and Terraria look fine to me.
#49 to #34 - captaincapital (08/20/2015) [-]
those games exist? please point me to a 2d pixel art game with the same quality as OP because I'd really love to play one. alas they don't exist at all.
#39 to #34 - fecalizator (08/20/2015) [-]
I feel you, but try Fez
#40 to #39 - joiasfdj (08/20/2015) [-]
Fez is not of the same high quality art that this is.
#41 to #40 - fecalizator (08/20/2015) [-]
Eh, if you think so. I still like to look at it.
#42 to #41 - joiasfdj (08/20/2015) [-]
I like how it looks as well, but pretty != high quality.

Play it. So ******* good.

take my money, take all my money, this needs to happen
#30 to #2 - anon (08/20/2015) [-]
yeah theres SUCH a shortage of pixel games out there
#5 - anon (08/20/2015) [-]
For some reason, these make me feel sad...
#6 to #5 - rototheking (08/20/2015) [-]

i second that
#18 to #6 - captainbalu ONLINE (08/20/2015) [-]
I third that
User avatar #7 to #5 - ninesundev (08/20/2015) [-]
because they show repeatness (? is that a word) ...
Also they are drawn in dark, cold colors ...
#9 to #7 - anon (08/20/2015) [-]
Actually, it's because some of the scenes may remind you of your childhood, which causes a bit of faint nostalgia, and are depicted in a world more beautiful than your own. The pixel art aspect of it also causes a little bit of nostalgia too.

The dark, cold colors make it more calming, which decreases the ecstasy-like affects that you would get from brighter colored pixel art, which tends to amplify the previous factors.
User avatar #15 to #5 - muffincannibal (08/20/2015) [-]
Makes me calm and content on the inside.
User avatar #23 to #5 - mrnaanbread (08/20/2015) [-]
perhaps its because you know you will likely never experience something as simple as these
#19 - doblade ONLINE (08/20/2015) [-]
Huh. So simple, yet so beautiful.

I don't know if you've seen this site before, and though it is often posted I will still share it with you in the case that you haven't seen it.

Beginner pixel artist.

This makes me moist.
User avatar #57 to #45 - lycoris (08/20/2015) [-]
Where do you get started on something like that? I'm kinda interested.
#63 to #57 - enzothesomething (08/20/2015) [-]
I'm a basic bitch so I pulled up MS paint and just zoomed in while using my ****** mousepad.

It somehow did not come out like complete ass and I"ve made some pretty decent stuff.
No fancy shading, or large scenery, just animals on a plain background.
I usually do it while I'm up late watching Vinny Vinesauce stream.
#64 to #63 - paddywhacker (08/20/2015) [-]
Show it to me. I love pixel art.
#33 - anon (08/20/2015) [-]
i don't understand. Why do I crave this so much?
#32 - thearcher (08/20/2015) [-]
Anyone else getting some Game Boy nostalgia from these?
User avatar #44 to #32 - schneidend ONLINE (08/20/2015) [-]
This kicks the absolute **** out of anything of which your Game Boy is capable, though.

The first one immediately reminded me that i'm patiently waiting for Persona 5 and it is in fact killing me slowly.
#68 to #47 - miltorky (08/20/2015) [-]
I got the exact same Persona vibe from the first one as well.
User avatar #28 - borderlineparanoid (08/20/2015) [-]
it's so quaint and calm.

that's how I want to live my life.
User avatar #69 - mrcroc (08/20/2015) [-]
Persona 5 is looking great
#59 - fumari (08/20/2015) [-]
Can someone pls tell me what kind of software you have to use to create things like this?
User avatar #67 to #59 - miltorky (08/20/2015) [-]
Well since it is Pixel art, I'm assuming one would use Photoshop or Gimp and then animate it through the use of a sprite sheet just on a much larger scale.
