Is pc-98 art style lost art?

*sigh*, why does nobody want pixel art animu with a shitty color palette?
Cooper Howard
faggot
Adam Davis
I'm still waiting for N1rv Ann-a
Adrian Edwards
No, it seems like you found it
Kevin Peterson
Pretty much all "Style as a result of limitation" formats are dead
Pixel art indies try to emulate old sprite based games for instance but instead of an artist's vision rendered as faithfully as could possibly be done in the extremely limited pixel format it just looks like mediocre shit
Michael Wright
dead honest here: you can get to the level of skill in OP's gif within less than two years of daily loomis and life studies. after that make all the VNs you want.
Luke Anderson

KEK. you don't know shit
Caleb Davis
This is just traditional 90s cel shaded anime in pixel form.
This is only possible when developing within the same exact constraints.
Jace Allen
it used to be, but it won't be in the future. this type of art will make a big comeback soon
Asher Lee
its dead. its very meticulous and hard to do. There's a reason why PC-98 games were more expensive than regular games right now.
Hardware constraints etc are not replicable

>thread about retro Japanese PC games
>people only post about VNs and porn
>nobody mentions any of the RPGs, tactics games or shmups

??????????????????????????????? what a nonsense statement
Leo Myers
dithering takes a lot of work and nobody’s gonna bother with that compared to just raw drawings or drawing over them in aesprite
Brody Gomez
be the change you want to see user?
Daniel Gray
that's judt the anime artstyme of the late 80s and no, it's not coming back
Lucas Morris
do porn RPGs count?
Matthew Cox
pc-98 art refers specifically to that art style expressed with limited color palette and resolution.
Isaiah Gutierrez
But now we have style based on indie devs limited resources. Not a great substitute but still produces unique art styles once in a while. Hotline Miami and Papers Please comes to mind.
Jason Ramirez
I don't thin that's the point here. There's a lot of modern games with limited color palettes
Angel Thompson
return of the obra dinn is really visually amazing and he hand wrote the renderer himself.
Jordan Morgan
>generic tranime garbage
>art
The mentally ill weebs on this website are so easy to impress.
Hunter Harris
not used expertly. just doing something doesn't mean you're doing it with skill.
i have quite a big idea about all this, which is to create an "artificial console" that exists somewhere between the SNES and playstation. completely spec it out, with realistic hardware and limitations for the time
and then people have develop games for that "console".
i think a lot of devs would actually be interestd in something like this
Benjamin Barnes
How do early Rance games hold up? Bringing up a comparisons would be good.
Are they as detailed as the PC98 ones though?
Christopher Russell
Its true. Also an artist wasn't the only one working in a frame.
Cooper Nguyen
didnt that bartender cyberpunk game tried to replicate it?
Zachary Ortiz
This is pretty typical game jam / art jam stuff. You could probably pitch it on Newgrounds and get some traction. In fact, I think I will.
Wyatt Walker
That art style is mostly a result of constraints from the PC-98's limited color palette capabilities. Platforms with 16-bit or 32-bit color capabilities had no need to use it.
Also helped that they had much better games overall.
Brayden Brown
Jordan Phillips
go for it, i just want it done, not glory.
the developer lexaloffle did this concept, but his "System" is too weak so nobody was ever interested in it
Robert Taylor
Sovl
Zachary Evans
there's already a few(ex: pico8)
Alexander King
Joke's on you, ignoramus. This isn't a PC-98 game.
Aaron Diaz
like the soap operas your grandmother likes
Juan Parker
I just really like how it looks.
