As an indie game developer who’s working full time, my resources are practically non existing. I’d love to create beautiful, stunning pixel art, but at the end of the day, I’m a game developer and not an artist.
To get over this, I’m a firm believer in taking calculated shortcuts, and no shortcut is sweeter than game juice. Simple animations, shaders, and lights can spice up our game’s environments a lot, and they are very low effort.
I’ve always enjoyed the study of game feel, and implementing these techniques into our own projects can make them feel so much better. I hope you can find ways to steal the example techniques I mention in this video to make your games look as stunning as possible.
