Pixel Art Lighter is out now! ✨
I first made this tool for my game, but am releasing it free and open source for everyone.
Generate and edit normal maps and light masks, while keeping your sprites pixel perfect.
Hope it helps with your art or gamedev!
@scurvyrum @GoblinedOut34@Michael21721396@AndrewDarell @DawgsInCarolina @dyingnome Smug? lol.
We were talking about games as art and more than just "fun" gameplay, why do standards matter here?
Sure if you're talking about most games, the gameplay is the core, but what has that to do with the conversation?
@GoblinedOut34 @scurvyrum @Michael21721396@AndrewDarell @DawgsInCarolina @dyingnome I thoroughly enjoyed this war of mine, for example, and that was a depressing and frustrating game, not really "fun". That doesn't mean I can't enjoy it, like many other people has.
@scurvyrum @GoblinedOut34@Michael21721396@AndrewDarell @DawgsInCarolina @dyingnome Worst part of this is, I do consider gameplay to be important, and that is my main focus when designing a game. The problem is snowflakes like you wanting to define what games need to be for other people and can't fathom people enjoying games for other reasons...
@scurvyrum @GoblinedOut34@Michael21721396@AndrewDarell @DawgsInCarolina @dyingnome "games should never" Here's the problem, you don't define what games should or should not be for everyone else. Why can't you just say that's what YOU like and want in games. That'd be a respectable position
@scurvyrum @GoblinedOut34@Michael21721396@AndrewDarell @DawgsInCarolina @dyingnome I'm talking about games in general, not only games with narrative focus, so I'm even referring to games without any narrative.
I'm afraid you don't really understand the core of this discussion.
@scurvyrum @GoblinedOut34@Michael21721396@AndrewDarell @DawgsInCarolina @dyingnome Lol I'm a game developer, you are no one to tell me in what hobby I belong to or not.
Or to tell anyone for that matter.
I never said the gameplay is not important, but that "fun" gameplay is not the whole point of games, it's a childish and narrow way of thinking.
