I reaaallly look forward to this era continuing, it's spawned some of my favorite games. Thanks for shedding light on it:)

Man, this made me really want to play Owlboy. Great job.

I love pixel arts. There's something about them that's feels comforting.

I need to share this around the world, and thank you for mentioning the article, I loved reading it.

Pixel art just has a certain charm to it. I can't help but be drawn to it every time I see a new game with it

"Pixel-art games are back... and people don't think they look like crap anymore"? At no point in my life have i ever heard that games like Castlevania SOTN, Chrono Trigger, or Suikoden 2, "looked like crap".

When you see footage or reviews on YouTube of NES or SNES games, and then look at games like Hyper Light Drifter, or Owl-boy, it makes you realize just how far animation and pixel graphics of come. It makes you appreciate indie games even more. Because you know they took much time and effort to craft such beautiful environments.

awesome background information and great insights. Thank you.

I'm so glad this era is coming back! Not only does it produce beautiful graphics and awesome gameplay, it also opens the door for newer game developers who aren't as experienced with 3D art (ex. Unity, Unreal)

problem is that pixel art is expensive, even SNK had to resort to using 3D models as the base for the characters in KOF XIII. drawing tons and tons of frames isn't an easy feat. but if people begun to like it and buy it...

You've got ideas, Heavy-Eyed. You've got original content, and it's good. I hope to see you grow in the future. More people deserve to see your work.
