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 @[email protected] 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.

Thanks! It's nice that it happened with a screenshot I took of one of my favorite games ever. If I remeber correctly (it's been a while) it was kinda luck to get these screenshots. Since the only way to get them is to finish a race, while you see the results a playback of your driving will be playing in the background, the moment you push "next race" the background replay will freeze and those effects will be applied to the image, while it's being used as a loading screen to load the next track. So you have one try per race to get a cool screenshot (though the game is pretty in itself too).
