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.

What's a game that made a visual or musical impression on you? Or maybe it had a story that has stayed with you for years.

Share your favourites, maybe post a screenshot to the community? Generate some engagement :D

The most visually beautiful game I've played recently is Satisfactory. It's a first-person logistics/manufacturing game. The landscapes are almost too beautiful to fill with machinery and black smoke.

In addition to the visuals the sound design is great. Alien creatures hiss or screech or click and the sound makes the hair on your neck stand up. The fuel generators sound just like huge diesels running at full speed against a load. The trucks run by, engines clattering and turbocharger screaming. Each machine you build has it's own noise. Amd every thing done in the game by your charachter feels like it has weight. Switches click and slam shut loudly. Levers sound like they're attached to something. By the time you've got a decent production line set up, it sounds like a mechanical symphony.

Coffee Stain knows their stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed both Sanctum games, too.
