Pixel Art in Roblox Games

Hello. I am learning PixelArt currently, I wonder if it is good for Roblox.

I love Pixel Art, it’s simple, yet very pretty! Neat style and you see what it is immediately.

But my question is:

  1. Can Pixel Art be used in Roblox? Or Players prefer ‘modern’ graphics?
  2. What do you think of Pixel Art? How would you like game, where would be some Pixel Art?

  1. Pixel art can be used in Roblox. It depends on your game really, but if you want an answer, then yes, I believe that most players prefer ‘modern’ graphics, as seen in many game icons and thumbnails.
  2. Pixel art is alright to me, but it seems somewhat ‘simple’. A game with pixel art is nice, but it’s not really very interesting to me. That’s my opinion, but I bet that a lot of people do favour pixel art.

First of all, it depends on what you mean by Pixel Art, some is very messy and some is clean and neat.

  • Pixel art is allowed in roblox.
  • If you can make a clean & neat pixel art, it might be suitable.
  • Personally, I like modern graphics because they can show off more of the game environment and make people intrigued and want to play/learn more about your game.

There are some wonderful GFX tutorials out there that show you how,. Now this is just my opinion but whatever you think is best for your game.

If you want to learn or looking to purchase some GFX, PM me.

I’m not sure if Roblox is best place for pixel art games. Pixel art is 2D while Roblox engine is mostly designed for 3D. It’s not impossible though, you just need to find a good way to use it.

I meant it more likely, that it wouldn’t be everything pixel art. Just some parts of the game.

  1. Yes, you can use pixel art in your game. However, entire games made with pixel art should be handle else where like Unity or mixed with 3D, I believe.
  2. It looks fine.

I have a game in the planning section that uses pixel art for the currency’s icons and some other things. However, the entire game isn’t pixel art, and the same can be said with every other game on the platform.

I’m gonna have to agree with this person here.

  • Yes, pixel art can be used in games. The only issue is it might require some up-scaling, as for right now I don’t believe there isn’t any nearest neighbor setting on images.

  • In terms of where it should be used on Roblox, I think it could be used either in old-style games, or possibly even be used for other types of games if wanted a unique style. I would love to see more games with different art styles like this.
