Learn how to create graphics for your games with my game art act. Useful for game developers, artists, pixel artists and more!

Whether you're interested in game development or you're a game developer making your own game, looking at how game art can be broken down into three simple elements can help you look at games from a new perspective. In this video, I describe what I call the game art act, that is, how the artistic direction of any game can be broken down into three simple elements: atmosphere, clarity, and theme.
I analyze the graphics of some of your favorite games, including pixel art masterpieces like Blasphemous, Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper, and Celeste, as well as the fan-favorite 2D game Hollow Knight.
Then I'll show you my full process for creating a pixel art game art model, from reference to values and colors to the finished game art model. Then I'll give you a challenge so you can do the same.
Whether you are a beginner game developer, 3D artist, 2D artist or pixel art enthusiast, I hope these game development tips can help you in your learning and game development journey. If you have anything to share, please let me know in the comments, I try to answer everyone!
