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 @saucechan@ani.social 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.

Strong recommendation to play this blind. The game works around Player knowledge and is incredible in doing so. Dont spoil yourself an amazing game by looking up to much

Also the print grain on this is incredible. Love the Art of this game

Agreed. Figuring out the game is half the fun.

Though it took me way too long to realise I needed to apply upgrades at altars to actually benefit from them...

Curiosity got me to play this game. The in-game guide made me stay. Such a creative way to unravel a non-spoken narrative game.

I believe the dev printed it using traditional game booklet methods, then drew notes on it and scanned it for that genuine feel.

Word of warning, unless it's just something you just want to do, or you're doing it for practise to uncover my of the language, DO NOT translate the entire language of the whole manial, page by page, expecting to uncover secrets.

It's literally just a game manual, the pages with secrets are pretty obvious. Just translate what you think you want to know more about judging by the images on the pages.

Translating the whole manual cover to cover wasted a week of evenings and gained me nothing. 😂
