Great read! I'm working on a browser based roguelike and basically used the same method you described where the game is lowres and scaled up. It works and looks great but font scaling is an issue, especially on mobile where when the game is scaled big enough to see well the font (5px monospace) becomes too big to fit necessary text on screen.

I thought of maybe including an interface with text readout outside of the game window, so at least there is some separation between where two separate texel scales would be used.

I do also wonder exactly how much people care, it's hard to tell given how picky I've become through doing pixel art.

My favorite pixel-artist releasing tools for Blender?? I'll definitely have try it out, especially since I use blender much more than I do any pixelart these days...

so so so sick

makes me happy that i can come on here in 2020 and still see you and everyone else killing it! :)

Definitely not too many colors. The shading and texturing is cleanly done, and it doesn't seem like there are any redundant colors.

Thanks :)

Amazing work, this is the type of stuff that inspires me to do more art. Beautiful use of colors and texture

Hmm I tried that, and it looks better! Think I should post as an edit? i.imgur.com/2T4Y4QP.png

At a standstill as my programmer is too busy with school. We may publish it as a beta soon, and add to it if there's people who'd like to see it get done.

great anim

I quite like the shape, I think it's the dark blue color thats a bit offputting. maybe try substituting it for a lighter one?

very readable and cozy

lookin good! i think the image could be smaller though, also a few banding problems solid tho

i like the dithered hair personally, couldn't hurt to tone it down

love the smoke it'd be cool if the figure was based on the same blue-grey palette

that mountain is hngg

Great work but i almost feel like you could remove one hue,maybe the green or the blue. theres quite a bit going on and it seems a tiny bit inconsistent

only thing that could be changed is removal of banding in the head/hair/hood area. Legs are very readable though nice work!

super solid makes me wanna dig 

parallax is 

nice work the clouds dont quite do it for me though

i think it could benifit from brighter colors

Mrmo have my children please <3

very nice atmosphere!

I think it's safe to say you've literally owned pixeljoint for the last few years. Mrmo is love. Mrmo is life.
