To achieve a pixel perfect look, you need a resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio that scales up to 1080p.įor example, Hyper Light Drifter has a resolution of 480x270 (270p with an aspect ration of 16:9). The current standard resolution is 1080p (1080 pixels in the height). Nearly all monitors nowadays have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (width to height ratio), which means that for every 16 pixels in the width, there are 9 pixels in the height. Part 1 of this series will cover the basics and showcase the key tools you need to achieve pixel perfect art. I picked it up just last week for Itch.io’s Loading Screen Jam, and it turned out to not be too difficult once I got the hang of it. In this tutorial I’m going to use the image manipulation program GIMP, which is similar to Photoshop but free and open source. Part 2 and Part 3 are currently in progress. In part 3, we create a vibrant scene in a style inspired by Hyper Light Drifter. In part 2, we create Red from the game Transistor in a style inspired by Super Time Force Ultra. This is part 1 of a three-part series on how to do pixel art.
