Reading the Game Art looks
- AAA Cinematic
- Color palette: cinematic orange-teal grading, atmospheric fog. Motion-captured character performances with subsurface scattering on skin, 35mm anamorphic lens simulation with shallow depth of field at f/1.4. Volumetric lighting rays through environmental particles.
- Stylized 3D
- Exaggerated character proportions: large hands, expressive faces, heroic silhouettes. Bold saturated color palette: vibrant purple, electric blue, energetic orange, grass green. Clean geometric shapes with gradient ramps for stylized shading. Ambient occlusion in warm tones, rim lighting for silhouette readability. That polished cartoony AAA aesthetic.
- 8-bit Pixel Art
- Simple but expressive 16×16 or 24×32 character sprites, tile-based environments with black outlines.
