🤔 both look good, though
Pixel art was never supposed to look like how it's drawn
Old TVs blurred the pixels together, and 90s artists used that blur to fake shadows, glass and water
Use a shader to recreate this effect:
> Blur sideways only, color more than brightness
> Scanlines that get thicker on bright pixels
> A soft glow on top
> Skip the RGB mask on phones, it mostly darkens
Full breakdown below 👇

Never released this in the gmod forums but creating this type of "ladder gun" was essential stepping stone for me as a gamedev.

Woke up in a Prague dumpster after my own wedding. No memory, no bride, no guns. Just a beer bottle and a very long day.

Selaco is a great looking 💥🔫 retro-shooter.
Also their game development process
was very interesting . 🔥
I would even suggest they should do a youtube episode about their unique custom process.
It sounded genuinely👀very impressive. 🤌
I'm sure, indie game developers will find it very interesting.
