I love pixel art for one main reason.You are allowed to ignore details. I really don't recommend it, but you can do it. If you're fine with that and you're genuinely aware of how much work it's going to be, go for it I guess. Like, people playing at smaller resolutions are literally gonna have a smaller view. You're probably gonna have to design your game in such a way to allow for arbitrary view sizes. Just be aware that you're gonna have to make potentially dissapointing compromises when displaying the game at different resolutions. If you're willing to put in all the extra work required. It'll make your life easier and probably give you a better result.Ĭan it be done? I really don't think it's in any way a good idea but yes, sure. I'd recommend to either drop pixel art, or decrease your resolution. Not to mention that scaling a 1080p pixel art image across different platforms is going to be hellish, as your game will only ever look right in 1080p or 2160p with absolutely no inbetweens. You're really not taking advantage of pixel art's strenghts when working that big. When applying those techniques with HD resolutions, you're mostly just working extra to achieve the same result as with 'standard' graphics. The whole point of pixel art is to make the most out of lower resolutions, potentially suggesting more detail than there actually is. If you want HD graphics you're really better off without pixel art tbh.
