Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @[email protected] to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.

I need to play this, it looks so fun. This pic has Final Fantasy vibes

It's fun. It's a puzzle game disguised as a strategy game, so you need to slightly adjust your thinking if you go in and have trouble.

Loved this a few years ago. What have these guys been up to since?

The Advanced Edition Update was released not too long ago.

Uuh... No?

It was out on switch and PC four years before Netflix published a mobile version.

Well Yes, But Actually No.

Netflix don't make games (for now). They just bought the game's license, remove all IAPs and paywalls, and include it with your Netflix subscription.

Generally it's a good thing. HOWEVER! The way Netflix did it requires the studio to make a complete separate version of the game and give it to Netflix.

So most of the time, it became abandon-ware. Because the separated Netflix version stopped getting updates and bug fixes soon or right after release.
