what is this style called?
>>748974438Dogshit.
>>748974438Whimsical.
>>748974438mixels
>>748975091what? no, the grid is unbroken. there is only one resolution present
>>748975091That game is from like 92 retard
>>748974438I specifically associate this incredibly detailed, but flat-feeling pixel background art with european games from the early 90s.
>>748974438Apartments & Accountants segment from 2 was hysteric. It's on youtube btw.
>>748974438Uncsteak
>>748974438Pleasant.
>>748974438Point and Click adventureSimon The Sorcerer is pretty good, I still remember most of the puzzle solutions though
>>74897443890s PC pixel artextremely soulful
>>748974438>>748974784i love whimsical fantasywhy isn't there more of it?why is it all subversive mean shit instead?I just want some beauty and overall positivity once in a while.
>>748974709but enough about your eating habits.
>>748974438>We front-loaded the game with a great looking grassland/forest level, but the rest of the game is just 90's clipart, clown faces, and colored bricks.
>>748977750I'd like to know, but can only guess.
>>748978245sounds like you've never played the game
>>748977750>I just want some beauty and overall positivity once in a while.The creatures ruling Earth after the last world war genuily wish to turn everything into be biggest, nastiest pile of shit and suffering ever.The past decades are just the point were it has become nearly impossible to escape their influence.
>>748974438snes/sega genesis style
old dos games, like goblins, simon the sorcerer, full throttle, monkey island, kings quest, space quest. so many fucking sierra games, some obscure games i'll never get the chance to play again or finish like "callahans crosstime salloon". fucking nostalgia is hitting real hard right now
>>748978613questionable, game is not on those systems
>>748977750Post-1990s, you gotta look for content designed specifically for preschoolers and women, otherwise you just mod the whimsy into an Elder Scrolls game instead
>>748974438Whatever the opposite of this is.
>>748974438Bad
>>748978839Is the too-obese-to-fly fairy supposed to convey whimsy and positivity?
>>748978839that looks horrideverything is overdesigned
>>748978953Looking at this, I'm half glad Jazz Jackrabbit 3D never happened.Wish Epic would fucking stop with Fortnite and remember they have that IP buried in their vault tho.
>>748974438Sex
>>748978953I wonder how game development can go far enough that everyone involved sould have looked at the previous one and realize just how wrong the direciton is.
>>748975091It's called perspective, kiddo
>>748978953>two years later, Doom 3 and Half Life 2 would release
>>748974438dogshit
>>748978953Simon 3D needs a recomp or a remaster or something. The game itself is alright but most people won't play it until they reach the city which isn't as ugly as the huge empty space of the first chapter.
pure kino. it's a trip down the memory lane from a bygone era, you'll never get to experience this
>>748979162>3D is new-ish>no one on the team has any experience>everyone just fucking happy the thing work at all>most of them are still stuck on the 3D from old arcade cabinets or fake-ish 3D like Doom so objectively their shit is not that bad, right?>internet with news on every concurrent games and stackoverflow doesn't actually exist yet, so you are on your own to know what's expected and how the fuck to do itIt's not an accident that a lot of series got the famed "rough transition to 3D".
>>748979916That came out in 200fucking2, not 1995.
>>748979916My man you are describing Bubsy 3D
>>748979536>from a bygone eraFun fact: Putt-Putt is still used in some schools, and is still the game recommend for kids with speech problems.
>>748979997It had 2 full years of sitting in storage due to publishing issues.It's a 1996 2D game converted mid-project to 3D and finished in 2000.
>>748979536You realize anyone can still play these games? You're aware that these older games were not live-service, right? Why do you retards act like a game disappears permanently after it's released?Like someone can say "Mega Man 1 was my childhood" and you retards will instantly think "Based boomer" or something. You realize Mega Man 1 still exists, right? Never once has Mega Man 1 stopped existing in the 30 years since it came out. Like small children can still play Mega Man 1 today. The fuck is is wrong with you retards?
>>748981328>30 years40*
>>748981328You say that but its a hassle to get some of these old games runningAnd while emulation has come a long way there's nothing like being able to get mad and throw MEGA SWIV across the room
>>748981328>nonsensical boomer seethe #9001they're always so sensitive about their age
>>748974438frutiger aero/thread
>>748977750It was simple a Boomer/Gen Xer thing, neither millenial nor zoomie can, or even want, to make this style
>>748977750Just play Japanese shit dude
>>748974438Schafer Clones
>>748981328you may still play the game(s) but you'll never get to experience what me and others have experienced 30 years ago, because for """you""" (or some other anon) this aesthetic is "dogshit", you'd still experience it as "dogshit" today, nothing can change the fact the graphics and gameplay aesthetically peaked 30 something years ago. it was kino back in the day IF you had experienced those games when they first came out, if this makes better sense to you, though i don't expect you to understand.
>>748977563holy shit I can immediately hear those retarded noisesthe trilogy was truly kino
>>748983048aesthetically peaked for this specific kind of dos era games, not every other game released. just to clarify
The Amiga ran on consumer TV's via composite/rgb or via a Commodore monitor via RGB.Either way it ran on 15khz screens at approximately 288p. With scanlines and a slight amount of blur (in RGB) or a lot of blur (in composite).Either way, It looked amazing on those screens.OP's pic was taken from an emulator or something, and looks like complete garbage. Pixel art looks awful when it's raw like that.
>>748974438DeluxePaint-core
>>748983048reminder that Sam & Max are canonically a gay couple now that spend every second offscreen sucking each other's cocks
>>748974438Is this Discworld?
>>748987075Simon the Sorceror. Though to be fair Simon barely even fucking does magic so close enough. The second one was my first "I bought this with my "own" money game and this is my first encounter of black people
>>748987075No, Rincewinds robes are red
>>748974438I like how distant objects appear blurry, as if there were a DOF filter on the image, but in reality it's all done pixel by pixel, unlike the effects in modern 2D video games.
>>748983048
>>748988171
>>748987415haha oh LORD that would never fly today.
>>748974438Guybrush
>>748989517yeah, including morris dancers was a sick choice
>>74897443890s point and click
>>748981328playing the game now doesn't fill you with the awe that a usually white text on black background terminal typewriter thing is glowing with something like this >>748974438you don't get to experience the 'transcendence'
>>748974438640x480 VGA, 256 colors. I put King's Quest and Commander Keen in the same category.
>>748977750play the Divinity games
pixelsex
>>748992519Ever heard of nearest neighbor upscale?
oh hell nah I ain't giving you that AI keyword that correctly defines this pixel art style
>>748992519The Kyrandia series is underrated but the second game is the absolute best. I loved Zanthia and that potion system.
>>748977750You should unironically play genshin. It’s the only modern game I can think of that puts in a genuine effort at making a pure, uncompromised whimsical fantasy world to lose yourself in. In fact, most critics bitch about how it’s “too vanilla” and not trying to be subversive or mean-spirited or whatever other cancer modern fantasy is bogged down by as a genre. It’s sad as fuck that soulless CCP funded gachaslop is literally the best modern gaming has to offer but unfortunately this is the reality we have found ourselves in.All I can say is don’t dismiss it until you try it. It’s literally a gem hidden in plain sight.
>>748978953I'm baffled this even got a Steam release a few years ago.
For me, It's LOOM (EGA version).
>>748974438Gorgeous
>>748974438>muh styleWhenever I look at these I remember the absolute bullshit "puzzles" these games had and any desire to replay them instantly vanishes.t. boomer
>>748996097You played it for the vibes not the puzzles
>>748996097We added Achievements and a thousand gizmos for you to collect
>>748979139Oh, they remember, the newest Fortnite season has a Jazz Jackrabbit item you can use. There's no way they will ever ever make another game after Fortnite lol
>>748996446>vibesNigga, every single game looked like that back in the 90s.
>>748974438Oh shit I remember we had Simon the Sorcerer 2 at home durng the windows 95/98 family computer days>>748975719British studio iirc
>>748979526One german dude was making a 2D demake ages, AGES ago but the project is dead
>>748977750>why is it all subversive mean shit instead?Art imitates life
>>748993879Genshin is kinda like Care Bears or MLP meets Tolkien.
>>748974438amiga or dos graphicits a shame its not as fondly looked back on as pc-98 graphics
>>748974438It's called somebody made a video game. It's not a fucking Rembrandt.
>>748977563Huh, I had been looking for the name of this game for about 30 years. Opened up the first level and yep, that's it.
Is it still the greatest point and click adventure game of all time?
>>748977750
