What I meant by 'plainly obvious it's made of pixels' is this: The version on the right is plainly obvious it's made of pixels by having pixel dots sprayed all over the place. The version on the left uses no pixel-dot detailing, and in a sense still sort of obvious because of the square...

It seems we have some pretty ideological disagreements about pixel art. Pixel art does not need to plainly show that it is made of pixels any more than a painting needs to be painterly.

I said it was generally a bad habit but I was certain that I gave reasons. The reasons being: 1. Dots have a tendency to attract attention to themselves, sometimes more than what's needed. Again, probably not the best thing for background work, especially not if the dot is at a very high...

It's generally a bad habit to be detailing with pixel dots, especially not at small scales when pixels start being huge. Pixel dots also tends to be extremely high in contrast so what is supposed to be a tiny detail is made very prominent. Stuff like composition and form is more important than...

Be careful that megaman is done in a different style from cave story. Cave story doesn't use outlines. Megaman does. Having different art styles within a game starts creating a feeling of fakeness. If you've ever seen a cartoon character pasted into a photo, I think we'll understand :p Also...

May as well add my input while I'm poking around for help with modding. The rocks to not read as rocks, since the clusters are kind of ill defined. Presuming that the rock tiles are transformed from ones used in cave story, be aware that Pixel's art style looks very, very sketchy especially to...

I am so impatient lately... What does it take for an assembly-illiterate artist to hack the game logic to allow for 8-frame running animations? The running animation style in cave story is pretty ugly T~T I have little programming experience past GML and a fragmented understanding of AS3.

I saw it as a short rambling on the wonders of Resource Hacker. Of course, it wasn't really relevant to me as the only thing I'm doing is just creating artwork and sticking them into the game. If I am very programming savvy, I'd probably appreciate that, but I'm not. My exp doesn't go much...

Resource hacker? Couldn't find it on the site then I realized you were referring to something not related to Cave Story. Just downloaded and I've figured out how to replace the pics. Thanks. I'll be getting to finishing something a bit interesting some time later.

Hello. Newbie here, dropping by to ask a question. I've been taking a shot at making a couple of sprite edits, and things are going great. However, I also want to take my mod further and apply any aesthetic change I make on Quote and Curly (and everyone else) on to the illustrations we see in...
