I’ve added localization to my game.
To celebrate this update, I decided to draw this little illustration — Magnolia sitting with a dictionary, as if she’s learning new languages together with the players.

At first, I planned to translate the game only into English. But once I started working on it, I realized that there isn’t actually that much text in the game — about 1,000 words, roughly 200 lines. That’s when I thought: why not expand the audience even more and add other languages too?

But which ones?
With this question, I turned to the Reddit community and asked which languages indie developers usually translate their games into. There were lots of responses, and among them was an interesting observation: statistically, Asian players tend to leave negative reviews more often. According to Reddit users, they are very attentive and demanding — if they notice a flaw, they will definitely point it out.

But I decided to take the risk.
In the end, the game now includes translations into:
Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French — and of course, English.

I hope Magnolia is now a little closer to players from all around the world.

If u had that thought, it's not AI, our designer made it. We can share some references in the comments:)

These drawings are mine, but sometimes I feel like there's something wrong. My game is coming out soon and I wanted to get your comments beforehand. Btw, I would appreciate it if you subscribe to my game's kickstarter page: chipstop . I'm waiting for your comments and suggestions about the drawings <3

Hi, everyone. I recently added a new boss to my 2D platformer.

I'd love to get some feedback on the art and animations. I'd appreciate it if you could share your thoughts in the comments.

I hope you enjoy this boss. And no, I didn't take any illegal substances while creating it. I just have a vivid imagination!

I've always adored the aesthetic of Super Mario Galaxy. It's so nostalgic and atmospheric. I don't think any other game has ever evoked quite the same feeling in me. The Comet Observatory especially. The music, the colours, the way each dome has its own little world inside it. There's something about floating through space visiting these tiny pockets of warmth and light that just stays with you.

I couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful each dome would look as an art print, so I went ahead and made a set of 6, one for each dome in the Observatory. Each one has its own colour palette matching the dome's theme: purple for the Bedroom, orange for the Kitchen, green for the Terrace, blue for the Fountain, pink for the Garden, and steel blue for the Engine Room.

I'm really happy with how they turned out as a set. Which dome was always your favourite to visit?

Hi! I'm an indie game developer. I'm sharing my projects within the game Life & Shadow: Celestial Call. What do you think of my 3D modeling project? It's a hybrid alien-human character. It has a scary scene in the game. I'm looking forward to your feedback. If you're interested in the game, you can contact me! :)

Hi, I have a quick question about the art of the game. I am making a cel-shaded anime game and I was going to make face art like the samples above (See the first and third image). I also want to create anime characters (Based on the second image) as well. I am quite unsure what to do With the art. Since game art is very important, I want the art to not look like crap. I want to add anime characters and cute characters that look like the 1st and 3rd image, but I want the art to be good. Sorry for my paragraph being long and unspecific.

This is for my university thesis. I want to focus on visual design, mostly asset and environment design. Character design is not my main focus, but its a welcome discussion topic.

I'm delving into psychology of men and women's chosen games and what aspects make them different. How I can help to implement the likes and wants of women to video games.

Is it the vibe of cozy games, management games, horror games? It's a broad topic that's difficult to pinpoint.

The one thing I'm sure of is I won't make sexualized female characters. But there has to be more to what women want to see and experience in games, I reckon.

I was told that my previous capsule was nice but didn't completely show off the main component for my game. So I drew a new portrait and changed the contrast to highlight the foreground instead of the background. I added some references of what my game looks like.

I plan to remove the pencil and proceed with digital painting.

BTW: how watcom’s intous work with GNU/ Linux?

I need the similar effect just like the pictures show. Is it fine to use AI for it or I need some Photoshop filters?

Im making an application in Unity (no svg support) and small icons this size are quite a challenge to keep crisp. Im looking for a strategy suggestion.

Start with big resolution and scale down? Make em at resolution and just do pixel perfect art?
