The Enduring Appeal of Pixel Art (feat. Tom Hardwidge)

This week Anna & Paul are joined by Tom Hardwidge of Tall Story Games to talk about pixel art in adventure games! They discuss how pixel art began as result of a technical limitation and went on to become a stylistic choice that people still can't get enough of. They also discuss its role in adventure games, purist vs modernized pixel art, how they make pixel art and a whole bunch more! It was fun, flowy and I'm told at one point, somewhat coherent, Mangia!   Shek out Tom's games Lucy Dreaming & Heir of the Dog   Vote for The Phantom Fellows to be released on GOG!
