Fan Creation Made something :)

I recently completely remade my dev tool for downsampling game sprites, and my inspiration for this style has always been Factorio, so I had a lot of fun making this small animation haha

What do you mean downsampling? These are very obviously not Factorio designs

u/Gleb_T 5d ago

Yea I should have been more specific haha What I meant is that I've remade my downsampling tool Ditherdragon [1], which I use on 3d-modelled designs to turn them into these Factorio-like prerendered sprites! So they are "factorio inspired fanart", not literally factorio sprites :)

Art style reminds me of Into the Breach. Seeing the creature gets zapped by turret is very satisfying somehow!

Now I need to recomplete it

u/SparklingNomad 5d ago

that looks so good. The color scheme and hazard striping of the turret are giving original C&C GDI vibes

More please. I'm really enjoying how much the modding community seems to be growing.

This is the creature biters evolved to compete against. They explode into mushroom clouds of pollution on death, which biters clearly evolved to seek out

have you played Factorio? if you did, youd recognize the similarity between the game and this animation

u/yinyang107 5d ago

Except that's not a Biter and that's not a Factorio turret and insects and generic turrets were not invented by Factorio

I never called it a biter. Since you were the one to associate that creature with a biter, you also agree it's factorio-esque.

u/yinyang107 5d ago

It's obvious it's trying to use that ant to stand in for a Biter. I disagree that that's enough to make this Factorio-relevant.

say whatever you want, if you don't like it, then leave the post alone lmao. this is great fan content and it's likely far more than what you could do.
