3D pixel art filter for my indie game about dinos digging up dinos

Here's how to get that 'A Short Hike' 3D pixel art look -- this is from GOODLANDS, my upcoming indie game where you play as a paleontologist prospecting for fossils in environments inspired by the Montana badlands. Explore a tightly curated open world while interacting with cute dinosaur townsfolk in this chill, wholesome puzzle-platformer. Thanks for watching this short tutorial/dev log!

Been wanting to make a game with this visual style for a while, this helped me a lot, and Ill be on your game as soon as it releases, it looks amazing!

[cristianeni]

So happy that someone makes a game like a short hike with its own spun on it.

[CrystalWaveMachine]

So glad to be a part of this! I love this style so much and I always wondered how it was achieved, even though I know nothing about game dev. Thanks for teaching me!

Thank you! I saw A Short Hike as well and the graphics took me back to the Nintendo DS era and suckerpunched my emotions right in the nostalgia bone. I agree with another commenter who said this is the game the 10-year-old me would have been obsessed with. It looks fantastic! Keep up the great work!

I wish I could find a tutorial like this for unreal engine, yours looks much cleaner than any ue4 tutorials I've found

[micachu]

This is what I'm looking for!!!🤯🤯
Can you do a tutorial on how a 3D object from blender become pixilated in unity :<

[Cymock]

I recommend using cell shading to really give it that short hike look

Looks lovely! I have a distant dream about making a Unity game in this style. I have a programming background / Blender but have made 0 games. For a beginner, would it be hard to make a game like A Short Hike? I have some similar ideas I want to try out and I'm worried about the technical side of things as I suck at linear algebra / complicated math's which I know are used frequently in game dev. Cheers mate, game is looking stunning! Would absolutely love a tutorial on how you made this in more detail, could even pay for it.
