Bean J. Bunny @beanjbunny.bsky.social · 30/09/2025I can always tell modern pixel art from retro pixel art, and I’m not full on sure why, except maybe the older stuff is just a little bit dogshit and the newer stuff has an extra level of polish 310
Falinere | Interactive RPG Creator @falinere.com · 01/10/2025I saw a thing a while back that said older pixel art was made specifically to be displayed on CRT monitors, and if you show them on a higher quality monitor the image actually looks worse 210
Bean J. Bunny @beanjbunny.bsky.social · 01/10/2025While very true, there’s not an indie dev out there bold enough to steal the art style from awful licensed titles of the time 120
JamesTDG (comms open) @jamestdg.bsky.social · 01/10/2025Actually it depends on the artist. Everyone cites Castlevania on the PS1 as the proof that it all must be through CRT screens, but like, we had LCDs for a while now. It all depends on artistic intent 010
