Fond memories of Supercars and Ivan Ironman Stewarts Off Road Racing come flooding back. I still love 2D and good pixel work and think there's still plenty of scope to employ it in HD games. Having said that, looking at the screenshots in this topic, it seems to me that an oppurtunity has been missed. Much of the artwork seems to lack character to me. It comes across as functional and workman like. I'm not wanting to sound overly critical and I appreciate the game is not finished and that it's necessary to have clarity in game graphics so that gameplay isn't compromised. However, one of the reason I still love 2D is that it lends itself so well to expressing character. The incidental detail around the tracks just seem a little bland compared to what pixel art and high resolution might offer. Perhaps there is lots of character in there that can't be conveyed by static images, perhaps not. Clearly, the most important aspect is that the game is fun to play and I'd favour that over any other characteristic. It just seems a little out-of-sorts that the full potential of 2D graphics, in an article about using 2D graphics for games, doesn't appear to have been realised based on the images shown. Good luck with the rest of the project and with your other projects. I enjoy these kind of racers quite a bit.
