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.

"The Long Dark" I never would have thought, simplified graphics could look that realistic. The colours are beautifully on point and the lighting is stunning.

It's one of those games where "every frame is a painting". Journey and Gris come to mind. Games so full of style literally any frame could be frozen, framed, and be worth looking at.

The survival mode is neat because you can tailor it to your liking whether you want colder winter and just bears or lots of supplies and gear that lasts longer.

I really found it was fun to turn everything down and just enjoy exploring and the visuals.
