What game is this? Looks lovely

>Is it irresponsible to use pixel art in your indie game?
That's just about the dumbest question I have ever read.

Is it irresponsible to use soul in your indie game?

You're basically guaranteeing lower sales compared to le hyperrealistic 3d graphics where you can see every single pore and takes half your avaliable space, according to most data and metrics we have available

But indie devs have access to other viable graphic styles in addition to pixel art, but they don't have access to hyper realistic 3D graphics due to the budget required

terraria? stardew?
I cant imagine they sell less worse than the average game released now. is it irresponsible to make entry level games with no inspiration? yes

OP is not only a faggot this time but literally retarded too WOW

Vikings on Trampolines.

The dishonesty takes me out of the scene

>every 3d game tries to look realistic
kill yourself instantly disingenuous faggot

>Stardew Valley all time peak: 94k
>My Time at Portia all time peak: 13k
>Rune Factory 5 all time peak: 2.6k
>Rune Factory 4 all time peak: 1.2k
Guess which one had 2D graphics

You're making the wrong comparison, Stardew Valley itself would've had a much higher peak if not for pixel art graphics that turned off a lot of people, the rest would have lower peaks if they used pixel art

people are idiots and have no standards at all.
your game doesn't even need good pixel art to sell. undertales pixel art is literal trash yet people still eat it up.

Undertale is like an outlier among outliers, not every indie dev has an existing fanbase to buy and promote their game online
