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.

This is a composite image of page 31 of the in-game guidebook. It was made using a series of zoomed in screenshots, which I then stitched together into a full image, so the whole thing would get that sweet sweet halftone ink look.

I'm usually very wary of all these nostalgiabait games. But Tunic was so freaking well done that I binged through it with all my free time. The manual was not just amazing game art, but an absolutely essential part of the experience. Can't say this about many games: I loved, adored every second of playing it.

The Tunic manual itself is a piece of art. Fantastic game

TUNIC is my favorite recent indie game. Full of really interesting puzzles and meta-layers to the game within a game. The manual is a game unto itself. It was almost too good, in that I finished it and lamented that there aren't really any other games like it, and replaying it really isn't the same. Maybe a few years from now, I'll have forgotten most of it, and I can play again.

I can't wait to get my physical copy of the manual! Such a good game
