Why are deceiving vidya covers still a thing? There's no need to lie about how your stupid game looks, it just makes your attempts to bait the customer into buying look bad because it's clearly not how your game looks like.

The shitty game:

fancy cover art is fine, only idiots will buy shit without looking at actual gameplay

Reminds me of late-80s/early-90s style posters and cover art where you have a big upside down triangle under the name and random objects flying around.

This game was pretty good thoughbeit

>Why is this cover so deceiving? It should show a board with a bunch of meeples and shit

>>716021512
Yeah I hate this shit.
if your game looks this garbage, you shouldn't be allowed to hire an artist for the cover/steam page art until you hire one to make some real art for your actual game.
I wish there was some "pixel shit" filter list I could subcribe to auto hide all the garbage no talent shit like this, so I only ever see games with good, worthwhile pixel art,

>>716022550
why do you compare two completely different hobbies, moron? you don't open a book hoping to get a movie with whatever you saw on the cover

>>716022706
>so I only ever see games with good, worthwhile pixel art
all of these are, without exception, complete fucking dogshit to play. the more detailed and high-quality the pixel art is the worse the game plays EVERY time.
owlboy? iconoclasts? shit tier games that people will post out of context images of but never talk about playing them because they're SHIT. even the "HD2D" style pixel games look awful with postprocessing vomit covering the screen as an anchor around the visual fidelity so that the ratio of shit art but good gameplay can be maintained.
the last time a game had both great pixel art and gameplay was before SNK was owned by the Saudis. it's over, let it go.

I think you might be a retard.

>>716023070
What's wrong with iconoclasts?
Gameplay was pretty decent.

>>716023070
Ok, let's make a list of those that are actually good and look great then
Gravity Circuit
Pizza Tower

>non-japanese game using japanese title tot trick weebs

I hate this

>>716023070
Iconoclasts is way better than any pixel shit game you will try to shill.

>>716023205
Wow you have two whole games! That makes two

>>716021475 (OP)
Why is Colon from Choju Sentai Liveman on the cover?

>>716023205
Pizza Tower is a game that uses its style perfectly but I wouldn't say it has traditionally "good" pixel art. It's effective, simple on purpose, rather than showing any technical mastery of the style.

>>716023391
It's literally the same character design
I hope the retard who made that game gets sued

>>716023204
not with those "puzzles," man. it's got the number one puzzle sin of knowing exactly what you have to do to solve it but being forced to go through massive tedium just to implement the solution.

>>716023205
>Pizza Tower
you already failed. that guy has no artistic talent at all. he doesn't even know basic pixel art techniques, he can't even stop his outlines from dubling up on pixels.

>>716021475 (OP)
this game honestly lost me after the 3/4ths point, it just kinda shifted into something else entirely.

>>716023257
that's korean, not japanese

>>716023945
The average weeb wouldn't know

>>716022706
These kind of posts reminds me of the never ending graphic-fags, a bunch of superficial people and the bane of the industry.

>>716024959
Indie pixelshit is a cancer that should be forgotten, though. The only game that looks like that and is good is Cave Story

>>716021475 (OP)
Because they're funny as fuck in hindsight

>>716022706
I wish there was some filter to filter people like this, you know, like that red full body filter that muffles their voice as well.

>>716021475 (OP)
I loved this game, cool premise and great execution.

>>716023070
>great pixel art (...) was before SNK was owned by the Saudis
i'd say kof13 represents the logical conclusion of "modern" pixel art, and how reaching it is kinda stupid and pointless; in the same way that that logical conclusion of animation would just be rotoscoping that doesn't "feel good" anyway
kof98 still looks great, and it doesn't require your studio to bankrupt itself,
at certain resolution and color mode, the question becomes "why not just draw it like a normal fucking illustration"

>>716021475 (OP)
I liked Yuppie Psycho. Neat little mystery horror game. It never gets talked about though

>>716026225

I wish they fleshed out the dystopian world the game is set in.

>>716026339
in general the setting felt like missed opportunity and went off the rails the moment it shifted into dead children.

>>716026438
They were hot though

>>716021512
>bad art at bad resolution
>all 16 gorillion colors used
>everything is a noisy mess at modern desktop screens
I HATE THE ANTICHRIST
AND WHOEVER TAUGHT RETARDS ABOUT DITHERING BETTER BE REPENTING THE REST OF HIS SORRY LIFE
