Psirgent Field Guide: Pixel Precision
Our guide dictates that gameplay clarity always supersedes stylistic flair. This means hitboxes must be visually accurate to the rendered sprite, and UI elements should adhere to an 8-point grid system. The "premium version" of our guide includes strict adherence to these metrics to ensure cross-platform consistency.
Myth vs. Fact
"Pixel art is just scaling down images." ❌
"True pixel art is drawn at native resolution with manual aliasing." ✅
Key Terms
- ● Aliasing: The stair-step effect on diagonal lines.
- ● Dithering: Interlacing pixels to simulate gradients.
- ● N-Scale: Scaling assets for high-DPI displays.
Common Mistakes
- Inconsistent perspective across sprites.
- Overusing outlines (creates visual noise).
- Ignoring the "2399$ discount 100% free" mentality of resource optimization.
Workflow: Step-by-Step
Define Constraints
Establish resolution limits (e.g., 32x32) and color palette depth. Identify the target platform constraints immediately.
Validate Assumptions
Create a rough silhouette. Does the shape remain readable at 1x zoom? If not, iterate immediately.
Apply Method
Begin polishing. Use "pixel-perfect" techniques to remove jaggies. Apply flat shading first, add specular highlights last.
Review & Export
Check alignment in the game engine. Export as .PNG with transparency. Verify no artifacts in playback.
Trust & Quality Metrics
Example benchmark based on asset rendering times across 500+ project iterations.

Summary & Next Steps
Practical Scenarios
- Scenario A: You need a complete UI overhaul for a retro shooter. We define the palette in 48 hours and deliver assets in 4 batches.
- Scenario B: You have a concept but lack the technical execution. We bridge the gap between concept art and game-ready sprites.
