Do you like the pixel graphic style?

^

 

pixels or gtfo

Outdated graphics are the future!!!

 

Nah..... HD stuff in starbound probably wouldn't look so good. It just wouldn't fit.
Also, it's not 16-bit...

 

Yup, the pixels are lovely
There's a lot of games who claim to use "pixel art" but in reality just use a bunch of sprites for walking, then one repeated sprite for the jumping "animation", and IMO that's an excuse for being lazy...
But SB makes good use of pixels, with smooth animations and stuff

 

I really like the pixel design, but I do think that colors could be a bit more vibrant. As of now I feel like all the colors are a bit too muddled together and nothing's ever "Bright blue" or "Bright red". It's always a darker shade.

 

I don't like pixel graphics in general, but it fits in perfectly with games like Starbound and Terraria.

 

I love the pixel style. HD would be boring.

 

I grew up on 8 bit computers, so it's a blast from the past for me. Love it. It means they can concentrate on the gameplay and not spend hours working on graphics for the most minor things.

Graphics styles like Don't Starve aren't bad, but god I love the pixel style. Call it nostalgia, call it whatever you want...I feel like pixel games play so much better.

 

Oh gosh guys i'm 30 years old, but that whole pixelated nostalgic love is getting on my nerves, i dislike these graphics , but there is a not too difficult way to satisfy everyone. Some time a go tiy posted a picture of smoothed out graphics , and mentioned that these could be an option that isnt too difficult to program, since that time i hope someday there will be this option !

 

The more I look at screenshots on the site the more it becomes clear...

The game graphics is designed for mobile phones and tablets from ground up and they just stretch out the pixels for PC players. It isn't intentional, purely to cut costs and time... But who am I to argue when all PC players say mega pixels on screen is awesome gimme more!

Well played Chucklefish, well played.

 

Do you have a link to that? Wouldn't mind taking a peak.

The pixel style of the game is one of it's selling features in my opinion. The way the characters run and jump are great. I think someone earlier in the thread said something about colors, those could use work, but they've done palette swaps with monsters before so I'm sure the colors aren't set in stone.

 

I think pixel art is sexi.

 

I actually think you're on to something here...

 

Neither, i personally prefer an all ASCII style, because those games tend to be a lotof fun

 

cant find tiy statement but it is somewhere here, hidden on the forums, but tiy mentioned a technique like this one, look here

Yes, it does it was better than Terraria lol

 

....Nah. Doesn't seem like it to me. Also, don't contradict yourself.
Don't why people keep mentioning dull colors; seems fine to me.

 

I don't like pixel art out of nostalgia, I just like it. Starbound's style is simplistic, but I much prefer it to something like Don't Starve's style. I really don't care for those HD graphics. They always feel clunky to me and make for weird gameplay. Give me 3D models or sprites!

I'd like it if Starbound had more detailed sprites, however. That would definitely help bring the atmosphere to life. And now that a couple people mentioned it, the dullness of the color bothers me too.
