pixel art is decently popular so people have experience with the type of art

the site has a templates feature where you can plan out a design and then share where you want it to go with other people which is used for most of the larger ones. And then since the cooldown is 30 seconds and you can stack up to 6 pixels at once to place down its easy for different people to add little details to populate areas

    I enjoy what the void did in both 2024 and 2025 with them making a little void pocket and then having things within it that match. Adds some nice variety to the canvas since the rest is mostly built on a white background or lighter colors

    For a little pre-event discussion and to give some inspiration for peoples designs for this event, what was your favorite design that was made in previous iterations of the event?

    Theres some atlases for the 2024 and 2025 editions of the event you can look at to see what people made

    I dont know how larger games do it but it mostly depends on what kinds of enemies and what genre of game youre doing.

    If you have a lot of enemies that will be spawned and despawned and they are mostly the same you can do an object pool where instead of destroying the object it gets hidden and added to the back of the pool for another enemy to spawn in as in the future by showing it and moving it to the correct spot

    In terms of when to spawn it usually (assuming youre doing most genres) you can just spawn it right outside the view of the player when they hit a trigger. In games I usually make enemies are spawned on a timer since it tends to be more arcade like and in that case you usually just spawn them outside the range of the player in a random location around a radius after X amount of time has passed

    Can give more specific things if I know the genre

    Also downvote is likely someone from the all feed
