I did some research into this question taking into account modern pixel art games like Owlboy and Octopath Traveler. But, I'm not sure if I explained everything well enough or made it interesting enough. The goal was to help people understand what pixel art is in video games and how game developers can push the medium as technology advances.
If you're interested, would you help me by reading my article? And let me know what you think?
