LogInWinston Powell, the author of Of Love and Eternity, an upcoming Unity-based third-person horror adventure game with an extremely unique pixel art style, has presented an in-depth tutorial, covering the process of making game assets from start to finish.
A little while ago we introduced Of Love and Eternity, an upcoming Unity-based stylized horror adventure game where you play as a dead damned soul of a knight, looking to reunite with his beloved one in a place between death and the afterlife.
The game features a distinctive art style, a combination of realistic pixel art with glitch horror, managing to deliver a heavily stylized yet very immersive experience. If you wish to create something similar for your personal projects, luckily Winston Powell has just posted a tutorial available on his Patreon, covering the whole process of making these unique, crispy pixel nostalgia game assets with Unity's shaders.
Take a look at some in-game examples shared by the developer below:
