I’m just kind of curious how people perceive various art styles for indie games.
Say you had three indie games which were otherwise identical in terms of gameplay but one was pixel art, one was hand drawn and one was 3D. Which would you be most inclined to buy? Also, suppose the price started going up for each. Would you feel like any of them would start to feel like a better or worse value at certain price points?
Let’s assume that the art styles are competently done for each and for the sake of simplicity, generally appealing to you. Any other thoughts you might have about this would be interesting to hear too.
Hmm depends on how well that style is executed but if they were all equal high quality and its just comes down to preference of aesthetic .
Now if they were of all equal low quality. Then i would say pixel art lends itself theost to being the most aesthetically effcient for low quality art style.
