Please wishlist my new game KingMakers on Steam. We've been working really hard on this for 5 years, and can finally unveil it to the public today. Hope you guys like it 🤞
Recently a video claimed that modern pixel artists are misguided - mimicking sprites as they appear on modern screens, instead of how pixel artists from the 80s and 90s “intended” them to look on hazy CRT televisions.
Not exactly. Let’s discuss.

Everything in Kingmakers is real. If you see a building, you can go inside it, have a fight in it, and blow it up.
If you die in Kingmakers, you die in real life.
Please wishlist on Steam!
First the easy one: This example, from Super Mario RPG, wasn’t drawn by a pixel artist at all.
Rather, it was 3d rendered on a Silicon Graphics workstation and then downrezed to an SNES sprite.
Touchups were done, but the intent was to mimic the 3d render.
