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.

What's a game that made a visual or musical impression on you? Or maybe it had a story that has stayed with you for years.

Final Fantasy XIII. That game released in 2009, yet from the looks of it seems like a next gen game. The amount of work that went into graphics and environment design is astounding.

Every location is unique and a joy to look at. From a futuristic sprawl to a lake that crystalized while still in motion, to a synthetic forest to a wild ravine full of flora and fauna. I spent so many hours just looking at things and enjoying the scenery and the music.
