   Pixelart I made in 2017 of my fav game - "What if Gothic was a 2d game?"

     @nauris Ah, this is just fantastic! I've been thinking a lot of playing Gothic 2 again lately. I really quite miss that simple lowpoly style of 3d graphics. I hope that will get a resurgence in the same manner as Pixelart has in the last decade. I know lowpoly is a common style in indie gamedev, but I haven't really seen anyone replicating the same atmosphere as those early 2000 games. My absolute favorite titles in those days were Gothic 2 and Rayman 2.

     @BenjaminBrinckmann Oh I agree! I've been hoping for that too. I think we still got a few years to go. As right now a ps1 aesthetic seems to be gaining popularity, so maybe in a few years more gothic 2/ps2 aesthetic might come, who knows :)

     @nauris Wish I could matrix download the coding knowledge to make videogames, otherwise I'd be totally on it fulltime. Still, babysteps. Trying to get a bit of insight in Godot, though I might try Unity as well. I find the biggest challenge to actually get the overview of starting a project.

     @BenjaminBrinckmann oh yeah its no doubt tough, even with modern tools creating something like gothic now is tough. 3d takes a lot of getting used to too. I'd like to explore that style myself in the future too, but ive only dabbled in 3d a little.
