I love how chill most of the towns people are in the middle of all this fighting :)

Just a typical day…

Loved finding art like this as a center spread in a gaming magazine as a kid. I'd keep opening it up and just stare at all the little details.

I was straight up addicted to this game in the 90s/00s. If I hear the ost music, I fear I'll activate like some kind of sleeper agent.

It might and I think the game is still pretty good. It's just a little bit too grindy for the little time I have to get these days though.

Same bucket: not enough time to play, and not fond of paying a monthly charge to play a game.

I really like these oldschool aesthetics. It really makes me want to play Ultima Online, but I never played it and I have no clue were to start or what kind of server to play on.

This is probably the best server to start on. Private server that is basically the most beloved period of it. Still has a community and everything.

I used to be a top-ish scripter on EasyUO... would be fascinating to get back into this like 20 years later!

Interesting mix of styles - sort of a cross between Heironymus Bosch and Roger Dean.

Ooh, I knew I recognised that style…

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.
