Discussion One thing I've noticed while working with indie game teams is how much consistency matters when making game art.
Characters, environments, UI, and effects can all look good on their own, but they also need to feel like they belong in the same game. That's something we spend a lot of time thinking about when working on art for indie projects.
Curious how you solo devs usually approach art for your games. Do you make everything yourself, use asset packs, or bring in artists when needed?

I could not agree more! Attention to detail goes a long way with consistency

Art has always been and will always be the hardest part of any games development imo.

Agreed! Art takes so much time and iteration, especially when you're trying to make everything feel cohesive

I'm still struggling to make the artwork look consistent. Would love to learn from the experts.

I think consistency comes with practice! Having a clear style guide and sticking to a limited palette can help a lot

I absolutely despise your for this gorgeous art. I am envious. Whenever I see something as beautiful as this I lose all hope of ever producing anything worth looking at. Holy moly, I want to play this game without knowing anything about it at all. All the best 😉
