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.

Love this because this game is my favorite game of all time.

it's such a banger. Introduced my kiddo and nephews to it and at first they were like "oh, it's 2d.... is it only side scrolling wait you can FLY!?" they played it for hours and my kiddo went on to complete the first few worlds.

that's when I remembered how hard it is in parts if you don't keep those skillz fresh lol

same with ninja gaiden nes. oh fuck I'd forgotten how hard that thing is
