that scene looks so good! perhaps adding a parallax affect to the buildings in the gaps below the main walkway could help to make it feel more realistic and part of a greater system?
Thanks! Yup planning on have several layers. So those background buildings will have some parralax, and might add some bigger objects in forground with some parallax
Love that you featured Eastward toward the end - that game honestly has some of the best art I’ve ever seen. This was a great video, really informative!
I adore your videos, I just found out about you recently, and I already binged watched A LOT of your content! For some unknown reasons, watching a video of yours before I start study everyday (computer science), gives me so much motivation and ideas. I have no idea why, but the way you are thinking is different than most people and very unique and it is fascinating to hear what you have to say, and implement it in other fields as well. Thank you very much for sharing!
I have feedback. I want more frequent devlogs 😢 but I'm sure you're busy actually building the game so I'm not complaining! Would love to see an overview of where it's all at right now 😊
Yeah it's been pretty hectic these few months trying to manage everything. I'm making a video every two months - will probably make a devlog for the next video :)
I'm glad you posted Eastward as a reference, I loved that game, specially all the little details in New Dam City, your game it's giving a very similar vibe, I can't wait for playing it.
Such beautiful work! Great job as always. Color is essential, yet not enough people understand how to use it and how impactful It can be. Also, the classic Teal & Orange movie look! Never fails.
I wasn't convinced at first, as you seemed to be taking a very global approach to lighting, as opposed to the directional lighting of film, but the source lighting at the end really made it!
I discovered your game recently, and I confess that I'm looking forward to its release!! I love games with pixel art graphics and style. When I was in high school my dream was to study game design at college, this will always be my passion. Success for you, I'm sure this game will be a success I can't wait to play it. Directly from Brazil.
Thanks Suelen! Best of luck in pursing your passion! I would suggest working on some side projects if you have the time. Sometimes school doesn't teach everything you need. With side projects, you get to work on projects that are more interesting for you :)
I'm currently going to school for Architecture (I'm procrastinating building my final model for the semester by watching this lmao), and I think its super interesting to see how you approach things from that perspective. Couldn't agree more about how the use of color isn't talked about enough. Idk what else to say but I love your channel and am super interested in seeing this project develop. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for making these videos, it's really insightful to know your process behind doing art and game dev, and it's really cool how architecture helps you in unexpected ways too :0 All the best, can't wait for the game!
I accidently found your channel while i was starting to make my own 2D/3D game and i have to say that your process in making and building this (Chef RPG) game is so amazing and beautiful! i hope I'm half as good as you with time and practice. Oh also... can't wait to play your game on release i am very excited about it
I've been trying to create scenes with pixel art as well, but I don't have good results with it yet. Your tutorials are definetly my go-to to learn and it's always a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to the release of your game and for more content. Thank you!
Le Demi Tramé 😂😂😂 Je n'arrive pas à m'en remettre ! Très belle composition et choix de couleurs au fait ! Merci pour la vidéo ! Le Demi Tramé 😂😂😂 I can't get over it! Nice composition and color choice by the way! Thanks for the video!
just wanted to say great work with everything bro. we’re all excited for this and i have a great deal of trust in the way you talk about your process that this game is gonna be detailed and alive and great. carry on with your greatness my man!
So excited for this game and I've been following your devlogs for a while ❤️ love how it's set in the future and there's so many anime references and influence from futuristic punk asia scenes we see in films as well. As an Asian, I love seeing these references and even chinese characters in signages in your game!! vv excited and pumped for this 🎉
It looks so great ! All I could suggest on the final picture would have been to blend the lines of the background (mostly the pipes top right and the batiments bellowthe bridge at the bottom) with a lightercolor maybe ? Since keeping the line black makes it poop more than the center of interest, where the lines has been colored. It create an unwanted contrast, and contrast as much as saturation could be used to makes us focus on a specific zone ^w^
Your art and story is super inspirational man. I really look up to people like you. I just finished studying architecture and am currently starting development on my own pixel art game. Wishing you more success in the future.
I admit that I normally do not comment on videos, and this is my first time in a long time. But the work you produce and the videos are always such high quality that I just want to show my support through a comment. I have been following your game for 2ish years now, and I have been excited for the game's release ever since. Seeing the quality of the art and videos increase over the years has made me so excited and interested for what you have coming next! Congratulations on getting your Alpha out!! I was looking forward to watching people play but unfortunately I haven't seen much content strangely (I wasn't able to donate for the alpha release). I just had one question though--do you still plan on releasing the full game in September? Since the alpha was pushed back a few months, I was wondering if the same would be said for the actual game. I would love for it to come out in September (that's my birthday!). Thank you so much for your work! I look forward to all future videos and updates you have for us :)
Your videos are so inspirational. I have been drafting my own concept for a game thanks to the motivation your videos have given me. I missed the kickstarter, but come pay day I will be pre-ordering! A couple of questions: Where is the best place to buy / pre-order where you as the creator get the biggest cut? What pixel size ration did you use for characters? I'd like to try and set a bench mark and use your videos as sort of a rough guide (Don't worry, I won't be stealing anything, my game is going to be Sci-fi!) Thanks in advance :)
Hi there, I just wanted to recommend Josh (from Josh’s Gaming Garden) as a playtester for the demo! He’s one of my favourite life sim gamers and he makes really good reviews, so I’d love to see him play your game :) I saw Sharky play it and I loved it, so I just wanted to recommend another gamer as well
really great content. you have an amazing art style, and really valuable insights into how to make beautiful areas in games. your style is unique. looking forward to trying out your game.
I like this video as usual :) I just wanted to point out that it might not be a good idea to have the cross by the doctors office. Games like prison architect have had to change the cross in their games because it is a protected logo apparently. Might be something to look into to so you can avoid potential problems in the future
I love how you mentioned in the beginning that your earlier drawings lacked depth and were faded, and how you aim to incorporate the bold influence from movies into your artwork. However, your final scene in 10:12, the colors appear too faded and dull. compare the scene in 10:32 (that was perfect), In my opinion, it would be better to make the orange and red colors more prominent, similar to how they appear at 9:17. Additionally, I suggest removing the black lines from the background to achieve a simpler look, as you did with the bricks in front of it. You could also add a black layer on top and adjust the opacity until it looks optimal. Despite this, I find the scene overall very intriguing. If I may suggest, adding some smoke above the chimneys and around different tubes, as well as from the bottom, could enhance the scene further.
I actually ended up fading the whole drawing in the end, since I noticed the drawing was too saturated compared to the characters. The rest of the game is a similar saturation level so I didn't want to make it inconsistent (less saturated than Stardew valley, bit more saturated than Eastward). I'll probably add darker overlays around some areas and will use some lighting effects in Unity to balance everything out. And can definately add smoke once in Unity :)
We might have some extra left over after the first print, or we might print another small batch afterwards. If you send me a message after the game release, we can work it out :)
That looks awesome! Any chance you could do a video that goes more in-depth on how you create your palettes? Like what colours you start from, how you the stepping, all that kind of stuff?
After Stardew Valley, your game is what I'm looking forward to playing. Can't wait for its release, I'm still occasionally checking your channel to see if there are new contents.
I can't wait to get my hands on a copy when it comes out. I did have a question about your color choices though: are you working from a single palette for the game, or do you make new palettes for every environment? How are you managing color reuse?
Looks great! However, I think you put the highlights on the metal framework on the wrong side. Unless there is light up there that we aren’t aware of. I think I would make the highlights in the environment more dependent on the light sources we can see in the scene.
I can’t wait for this game to be released! It has been so much fun watching this game grow! Your amazing!
Yay always love to see more devlogs and progress on the game from you! Your pixel art is so good
Yay a new devlog! I always love watching your ideas come to life
Love how clearly you explained the progress. Thanks for the inspiration!
you cannot IMAGINE my happiness at the sight of your new videos

@@PixelArchitect Hi what program do you use? Love the art btw.
@@the-one-the-only Thanks :) Using photoshop for art, and Unity for the game
Dude this is so cool, to say i can’t wait for this game is an understatement
whenever a new video on this channel drops I drop everything and RUN to watch, great work as always
You make pixel art way too cool.
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos!!!

Just incredible... so talented.
theres not much pixel art content on youtube so im always looking out for your amazing videos!
Always a blessing to see your creative process. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your game!
Besides your approach to design, I love how you use colors! Really exited each time you post a video. Thank you very much!!
Yesssssssssss!!!! So happy!!! Thank you! Literally you, thinMatrix and DevDuck uploaded recently! Happy days!
I have feedback.

@@PixelArchitect no stress, you do what you gotta do man! I'm just excited about it, as I'm sure many others are too :)
@@PixelArchitect how exactly do you do the scenes for the game? Do you draw the entire background and import it as an image?
Really looking forward to see the different uses of color in this game. It is already very atmospheric with a distinct style!
I'm glad you posted Eastward as a reference, I loved that game, specially all the little details in New Dam City, your game it's giving a very similar vibe, I can't wait for playing it.
Finally a new video, I love your art and I know your game will blow up

it's been an honour to watch your growth as a designer during the development of chef RPG. thank you for sharing your vision with us

I can’t believe how good the art/environments look. Great work.
A true master at work. Your game is going to be amazing.
One of the most beautiful pixel art games I’ve ever seen! I really hope this will be verified for steam deck.
I'M SO HYPED FOR CHEF RPG! Just saw the gameplay preview on Sharky's channel.
Can´t wait to see more of the creation process. It is stunning.
My God, I cannot wait for this to be released! Ill be grabbing it straight away, it looks stunning!
Pre-ordered it on Backerkit!
🎉🎉 you for development!
Have fun and take all the time you need to polish it up to the point you need!
your channel is my absolute favorite

My gosh I love your work so much! Awesome stuff! It’s great to see and listen to your creative processes in how you make your work come alive.
I've been trying to create scenes with pixel art as well, but I don't have good results with it yet. Your tutorials are definetly my go-to to learn and it's always a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to the release of your game and for more content. Thank you!

*Hey Noah!*
*Because of you I started making my own game!! Thanks for inspiring me*
Love the use of Christmas music.
i learn something new every upload
So excited for this game and I've been following your devlogs for a while ❤️ love how it's set in the future and there's so many anime references and influence from futuristic punk asia scenes we see in films as well. As an Asian, I love seeing these references and even chinese characters in signages in your game!! vv excited and pumped for this 🎉
Fascinating process made even better by the always stellar results.
I really love your approach on colors on pixel art. Man, I can't wait for your game to be released. Definitely gonna buy for sure.
This man earned a new subscriber within 3mins
I can hardly wait for this game man. It looks incredible!
Omg i always get so excited when u upload a new devlog! beyond excited for chep rpg to release
As an architect I love how you combine it with game design!
It looks so great !
All I could suggest on the final picture would have been to blend the lines of the background (mostly the pipes top right and the batiments bellowthe bridge at the bottom) with a lightercolor maybe ? Since keeping the line black makes it poop more than the center of interest, where the lines has been colored. It create an unwanted contrast, and contrast as much as saturation could be used to makes us focus on a specific zone ^w^
I love these updates, the game already looks so good and I look forward to being able to play it! Keep up the good work!
Welcome back!!! I love seeing your stuff! Soooo pretty and somewhat ethereal really! ❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨
Makes my day every time this guy uploads. Cant wait for the game to come out and learn more about designing!
interesting look behind the scenes, enjoying the videos, looking forward to playing it! missed the kickstarter unfortunately

creativity without limit
Absolutely beautiful

Love your videos!! So calming
I can't wait for the events as well, I'm so excited 🤸🤸
I wish if the video was longer but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
I can’t wait to experience the game once it comes out!
Unless you have already, can you please add a zone inspired by the Italian coast line architecture? Love your stuff.❤
i can't wait for the game to be released aaaaaaaa so exciteddddd

We might have some extra left over after the first print, or we might print another small batch afterwards. If you send me a message after the game release, we can work it out :)
@@PixelArchitect thank you so much! We will wait for your game ✨
What amazing inspiring work. I wish I could make myself do this without fear of failure :(
That looks awesome! Any chance you could do a video that goes more in-depth on how you create your palettes? Like what colours you start from, how you the stepping, all that kind of stuff?
I'll try it for a future video! Getting more comfortable with color these days, and want to try some new things :)
After Stardew Valley, your game is what I'm looking forward to playing. Can't wait for its release, I'm still occasionally checking your channel to see if there are new contents.
"Babe wake up. Pixel Architect dropped a new video"
you are a genius
Keep pushing forward!!
Pre ordering for Switch. I can wait because this game is going to be worth it.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR VOICE !!!!!!!

Please hurry up and get this game out in alpha or early release! I swear I check every week or twice a week for anything new ❤
Amazing work
You will be providing a map of the whole town right? Cause it looks rather big and it'd be helpful, plus I love maps 😅
Yup, there will be a minimap!
I preordered the game I look forward to playing 😊
Looks great! However, I think you put the highlights on the metal framework on the wrong side. Unless there is light up there that we aren’t aware of. I think I would make the highlights in the environment more dependent on the light sources we can see in the scene.
Damn it's so goood! what app do you use for that camera focusing? dang it really is one of a kind work!
