Learn How To Make 3D Assets For Your Own Glitch Pixel Art Game

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:
