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.

Tell me, and I'll try and track down some good pieces to post. Still have plenty in stock, but never too early to collect ideas for more. You are of course welcome to post pieces yourself, as well!

I'm particularly interested in a wide range of genres, and older games. The game medium has existed for a while now, and I'd love to appreciate some of the earlier efforts of game creators.

far: lone sails

i love the art style in that game,

particularly the oppidomotive

also to a lesser extent, far: changing tides

and i'm quite fond of: bastion/transistor, hollow knight, little nightmares, and rime (i realise none of these are particularly old)

also adding sea of solitude, and submerged because i'm a sucker for post apocalyptic submerged cities

(i forgot these because they're not in my steam library)

You have a really good list! All of those have merit, feel free to post them yourself if you have screenshots, or find good ones.

~~i should, shouldn't i~~ never mind i forgot i lost all my f:ls screenshots.. i'll see if i can find anything i like in any forgotten folders

what's your policy on spoilers, by the way?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmmm. That's a good question. I'd say stick to content that doesn't spoil the story of a game.

Stuff that's meaningless without context is fine with me, tho.

I'll think about it further and add a rule to the sidebar.

yeah i don't know the solution - i wouldn't really want to join a lemmysphere rife with spoilers, but a lot of games' best scenes are spoilers

i'm looking forward to #3185 being implemented
