question about pixel art

[duane]

Pixel art does not seem to be standardized based on the multiple pixel art based games i have seen, Some are fairly smooth and others are much more. well pixellated. IMO, this game falls into the later category. Is that by design? I wish it was a bit smoother edged but then again I dont know enough about the subject to know if that is even possible.

I'd assume it's just the resolution used when making the sprites.

I wish it was a big less jagged myself and I'll admit the screenshots really threw me off, but watching it in action I got into it.

You can also use the software Reshade to make it a bit less pixelated!

Reshade? What's that?

[Munin]

Reshade is a advanced post-processing injector; It can layer custom shaders on top of your "screen", for SoC see e.g. this comment here (even with side-by-side comparison!).

It's a third party program used to alter the look of games.

Just be warned: There are games out there that ban Reshade, and some may even not launch with it active. Anti-cheats will trigger on it with certain plugins active due to the cheating abuse that can happen with it.

OMG this is game changing. Took some playing with it (balance between images and font clarity) but sooo much better. Thank you!
