Game Scope Workshop - Pixel-Hunt
Arrangementsbeskrivelse
Have you ever wondered how pixel graphics are made?
Join us on a trip down memory lane while learning to make pixel graphics like those from Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, etc.
This workshop introduces you to making pixel art assets for indie games or just for fun. Graphics are an important part of videogames and often it is a time consuming practise best left to the professionals. However, by using pixel graphics it does not need to be either complicated or expensive. Pixel-Hunt is a workshop that introduces you the world of pixels, how to use the program Aseprite and how to get started – all free of charge, so you can focus on practising your freshly acquired skills.
The workshop covers the following aspects:
- What is pixel art? What qualifies as pixel art, how did it start, why is it so popular, why is a good idea to use it in your games?
- Aseprite – introductions to; toolbar, colour palettes, image and canvas resizing, animation tool, layers.
- Basics of pixel art - line, circle, square, ellipse creation. Angles of visualization.
- Pixel art styles - outline vs no outline. Minimalistic vs detailed, Isometric pixel art.
- Shading - angle and position of light. Visualization, dot shading, blob shading, blending.
- Basics of designing a hero, weapons, armours, backgrounds, props assets and menus.
- Tiling basics - how to create tiles, tile positions and connected tiles for easy level creation.
It is required of you to install the program Aseprite before the workshop.
