Of course you can shade it yourself but this will be prettier than normal pixel shading especially if its for a game.Of course you can do "hacks" but they are more time-consuming than just using this thing

Again, I'm a purist who appreciates pixel art more when it's done (relatively) by hand. Computer shading effects in pixel games always looked like shit to me. As does pic-related, from the website.

>drawing gradients in pixel art by hand
ishiggydiggy

But yeah, the best kind of pixel art to me is the hand-placed stuff that keeps the color count as low as possible (you can have a lot of colors, but they all must serve a purpose and only be what you need). Pic very related uses 36 colors and can't be done by a computer. Pixeljoint's hall of fame and the weekly showcase have countless examples of well-done, hand-made pixel art.

Man, I've been watching this conversation, and I didn't really want to chime in until now, but you're being a sperg and you don't know anything about pixel art.
Hand-made art is always going to be capable of more complex and creative pieces purely by virtue of the fact that it is hand-made. It's like that in any medium. That program is the equivalent of the Photoshop plugins that make photographs look like oil paintings. Real oil paintings can achieve far greater things.

>>375727785
Post your proof then. Show me a pixel art picture with computer shading that keeps the color count to a minimum and makes sure that the pixels are all placed intelligently/artistically.

>fat stacks

>>375727785
>They can actually
No they can't. The program you posted doesn't even understand basic depth, and it requires you to manually shade from at least two angles by hand anyway. If you only have a single light-source (like almost every 2D game ever) in your game then it would actually be more effort to use that program.

>>375728308
Your watching this conversation and you somehow didn't read the part when I said it was for games? You're the one that's sperging out and know nothing about pixel art.
>>375728334

>I said it was for games
As pointed out in >>375728741, it's terrible for games because:
A) It requires more effort than normal game art does, because you have to shade from two angles before the program will work; and,
B) Because it looks like total shit

Here's pixel art from a video game that could not be emulated by that program.

>B) Because it looks like total shit
Yeah it does but that's also because they're using really shit sprites to showcase it, if you want to compare some random asshole's sprites to metal slug then wow holy shit a surprise, metal slug looks better. I went and glanced at the program it doesn't do the lighting for you, you setup the shading yourself and it does blending tweens between them for directions which means a metal slug tier artist using it could probably do something that looks good.

>Pillow shading makes things flat, boring and lifeless
No it doesn't. It does the opposite of that. It makes it bump out.

The problem is that it doesn't apply to every situation. If there's a direct point light, then pillowshading is fine, but it should also have a highlight. If something is cylindrical, like that dude made, then it shouldn't be pillow-shaded (because the top shouldn't be shaded) because that conveys the wrong shape.

Blanked-hate for pillow shading is just autistic screeching.

there's a set of pixel art I was working on for a while adding more detail into the lighting but at this point I'm wondering if I shouldn't step things back and do some more simple cartoonish shading like you'd see on Pokemon sprites or something.

NxC had more going for it over PXZ 1&2, but honestly all three games think unit enforcement is the BEST idea EVER in a SRW lite game, where combat takes a good solid minute or two, and you tend to be unable to kill a unit the first turn you fight, and there; salready like 15+ units to kill off, and now there's another 30+ that just joined and....

I really liked NxC though given you could choose to ether use upgraded attacks, or use the previous versions, more less it's the only one with a direct Company Crossover tag team of Felicia and King, and those two worked so damn well together. It also offered more to defense, and foes had god to honest attacks that wasn't just supers.
