What's a decent laptop for simple game-dev and pixel art?

author=Cap_H
My two cents are to value construction over power. It's really pain to have a clunky laptop and with this budget it won't be 'need for speed' machine anyway.
FullHD display is quite a deal when doing graphics too. I find some 14 inches as an ideal compromise between dispaly's size and portability.
And yeah a poteto with a hardrive should be able to run aseprite and pyxel.

Thanks for the info, buddy! I'll keep this in mind.

Curiously i have a harder time doing pixel art with my tablet than i do with my regular mouse.
I just know that once I started using my Intuos for pixelling, it got SO MUCH FASTER.

Using a tablet is more ergonomic for the wrists, right? Thinking about it, isn't it a lot harder to hit individual pixels using a tablet? A lot of pixels tend to be pretty small. xD

It's possible that tablets work well for artists that have experience with drawing, though.

Do you have a set color palette in mind for the graphics? I'm not the best pixel artist, but I may be able to help you out with a few tiles.

I'm also not sure if I have what it takes to compose music that will make the game justice, but if I end up feeling confident (with samples to showcase, of course), I'll let you know!

Can't make games unless we have money; can't make money unless we mak gam. The ultimate paradox.

I don't plan to do anything in 3D for a good while. It doesn't really interest me as much as 2D does. xD

I've never drawn pixels with a stylus before, and I don't think I'm going to use anything other than a mouse for pixel art ATM because of technique and muscle memory, but I might look into a different style in the future.

Thanks for the info, Sooz! : D

Pretty nifty start, Arc! Some areas in the top part look a tad empty ATM. I'm not a fan of how the castle is just...so gray. Some more colors would definitely be nice!

Yup, I draw with a mouse. I don't care much about touch screen. 572 USD (sorry). XD
