JOSEPHSERAPH'S PROFILE

i could ask what happened but what positive would i get out of it

not posting stuff from OpenGameArt on the resources here because I'm waiting to post it in bulk, since submitting is a bit cumbersome. Even so, I still reign as #1 resource submitter! COME ON GUYS YOU'RE NOT PUTTING UP A FIGHT

I guess it depends on the level of detail in the sprites, but the angle in the Pokémon games also isn't quite "perspective" as far as I can tell. It's not orthographic, but it seems to be somewhere in between. Either way I prefer it when they have 2D on 2D or 3D on 3D, but your mileage may vary.

"somewhere in between" doesn't exist, its either ortographic or its not -- what can change is the degree of the camera lens (i don't know how to say this)

An example in selfies (the first ones look almost ortographic)

this too, notice how the one on the right has perspective lines rapidly shrinking as they go back:

Or here, too:

in fact if im not mistaken, most huge moon photos are made through use of lens that "shrink" the background less, since the moon is so far it ends up looking huge:

(the other half of the times its just really photoshop XD)

Yeah, the ds probably did not have enough capabilities to handle pokemon white and black. Thus, it most likely added in that 'pixelated' effect.

That "pixelated" effect has nothing to do with capabilities and it also wasn't added in. IT is just because the DS resolution is low, which is also the case for the Playstation 1 (240p) and Playstation 2 (480p)

320x240 is the size Breath of Fire 3 is rendered, and model pixels and character pixels have the same size:


They're rendered at 320x240 not because of lack of system capacity, but because it is the video output. BTW Breath of Fire 3 is not ortographic, as one can see.

Valkyrie Profile, on the DS, is rendered at 256x192.


This is the render resolution of Final Fantasy X-2, I believe, though it does look like it has some sort of filtering, anti-aliasing or resizing tacked on. But it's more or less this size.


Tl;dr no need to make it HD if you aren't making Final Fantasy 16.
Keep your sprite's pixels the same size as the 3D models' pixels and it'll look good. Tack an 8-bit looking sprite on a super HD 3D field and render it on 1080p and it won't look too good.

an extra weekend sure turns this "might make" into something more certain for me! Makes XAS and handdrawn maps more doable as well! TuT

MOG was objectively the most productive event that I've partaken here. I've created tiles, sprites, monsters, music and even made a small shitty game demo!
Looking forward for the next MOG.
