About the final project for: Creation of Pixel Art Scenes for Video Games

Creation of Pixel Art Scenes for Video Games

“Course finished! Congratulations on getting here. I hope that the course has been interesting, fun and, above all, very useful. Let's remember what are the steps I have followed to carry out my project and what you should follow for yours: Sketch of the stage The first step is planning the setting. To do this, he makes a sketch in Pyxel Edit using the blocking technique and creates a scenario with basic shapes and using a monochromatic palette, with the addition of a red color for "dangers".

Component Pixelation Then, it begins to pixelate all the elements that will be part of the tileset : floors, platforms, walls, roofs, doors, windows, items, accessories, hazards and background.
Expansion Then expand these pieces quickly and easily, creating different states like "open", "closed", "broken", etc., in some of the pieces. All to later be able to generate more dynamic and differentiated scenarios.
Mounting Finally, set up three scenarios using the Tiled program. To do this, use your tileset and then export them to be able to share them on networks or use them in the development of a video game.
And so far the course on creating pixel art scenarios! My main intention when developing it was to finally have a place where any pixel artist can learn in depth unusual concepts such as creating blockings, tilesets, tilemaps , and all the techniques required for it. Pixel art stage creation is an art, and as such, practice is everything! Now it's your turn! Create your final project with everything you learned in this course and show us the process followed step by step. Having access to the different stages of creation is extremely enriching! As for me, remember that I will be happy to answer all your questions or suggestions in the course forum. I encourage you to comment on the work of other students, and share yours. Sharing is one of the most effective and rewarding ways to learn. That's it. It has been a pleasure. See you on the forum and on the networks! ;) ”
