Re:A Pixel Artist Renounces Pixel Art (2015) by ljm on Sunday December 29, 2019 @07:38PM (#21909773)
It's maybe besides the point but I think there's always been a time and a place for this, in the indie scene.

For example, Kitty Horrorshow[1] and Puppet Combo[2] are are responsible for a lot of art-house (typically horror) games that emulate the PS1 era of 3D graphics.

It's an art-form now. My favourite 2D, pixel-based one is The Last Door. It's basic as all hell. And still you have more games taking retro to the next level, like Faith[3].

I think we're in an amazing place where new technology can give us old experiences.

Check out "Deep Sleep" and "Don't Escape" if you like pixel horror.
