Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.

Game: Detroit Become Human

Why: Chloe breaks with fourth wall in an immersive way. She is beautiful and expressive. The actress did an amazing job expressing the doubt and confusion of Chloe.

Kingdom Hearts 1.

There's some heavy nostalgia attached, especially to Dearly Beloved as a song, but the overall vibe of it has always been peaceful to me. It's very simple and clean, and welcoming. The way Sora is posed, looking out over the ocean, ready to start(or continue) his adventure makes it feel more like a landing spot, like there's a raft just offscreen, ready to take us away once we hit start.

Ooh excellent choice. The menu sounds in that game are amazing too, the little clunks, swings, boops, and chimes add to the nostalgia factor for me for sure.

Came here to say this. It's stuck with me for 20 years.
