minbay Pixel Artboard Review - The Future of Pixel Art!

In this video we take a look at the minbay Pixel Artboard. This is a great way to create art on a pixel level. It has a ton of great features and a nice retro design. But is it all look and no function? Lets take a look!

I think this is a cool idea, definitely a novelty, but I can't justify it for the price

[@robotwo]

So when you say 16, 24 or 32 pixels, is that the size of the canvas or just the viewport? If 32 x 32 is the max canvas size with a fixed 100 colour palette I don't see this being very usable for development, probably more of a novelty thing.

[@trevormartin7148]

I love how at 4:02 you say the screen is very responsive as it stops responding to your touch.

[@Ellzyboy]

Lol i thought that but look at the number top left when he swipes. It is responding

[@Syrenova]

I noted that too, then realized he had swiped the correct amount of times to get back to P1. It just stopped animating moving "no images" multiple times, probably to save on power.

I saw this in a pixel art group and thought this was neat, but as a videogame artist there are better pixel art apps for android I couldn't justify buying it, even for social media seems a little lack of features... cool hardware tho.

[@Bearmund]

I love it, can't wait to get one!

[@coppervsglass]

Amazing! Such a good little device

[@tansernda2673]

Hi all, I need some help, my minbay was stuck at the loading screen and cannot be used. I press the on/off button for long but still cannot resolve. Can anyone help me?

[@JoeCannon1982]

Can you post your artwork on social media? Is there an internet connection?

[@coppervsglass]

There is no direct way to do it from the device. But you can easily save to your phone then share :)

[@vipersilent_rab]

Has a toy, all good; but has a realistic instrument to work, nope, nope, nope. The comercial sell this has a tool for developers, but I really dont see use on for that. The best option? A dedicated software for Windows (or MAC). On android for phones, absolutly not, believe be.

[@artmanstudios7037]

No way the price is way too high for something like this for that price you can actually get yourself a tablet in which you can draw with on your computer that will give you way more tools to work with. You're talking about $150 for this get out of here man way too much money for what this thing does which is just one thing only it doesn't make any sense And to top it off you only get to draw with it you don't even get to animate anything and add sound to it and make a little movie! You don't even get a stylus pen to draw with it just seems like a complete waste of money if you have to drive it with your fingers I mean a drawing tool is more like a magic wand if you don't have that then you're not really doing what you're doing now are you?

[@weirdweirdidgafwtf321]

I’m buying 5

[@coppervsglass]

Nice!

[@spammerscammer]

Or just use your smart phone. Lol

[@kawaiiyokaii6360]

Why show such a click bait image as the thumbnail?

[@coppervsglass]

How is that clickbait? It’s pixel art on a device that allows for pixel part…..

[@corgikun2579]

@@coppervsglass it's clickbait dude

[@optikalthps]

because you're displaying an image at a resolution that is unable to be created on the device... but portraying it as being on the device itself... why does that need to be explained?@@coppervsglass

[@Azrael-vz7fg]

Hmmmm. When I get paid imma get this.

[@PiNPOiNT2K]

How long does the battery last?

[@coppervsglass]

Oh wow. Not sure how I didn't mention that. It's around 8 hours continuous drawing on a full charge. But great standby time if you want to leave it a couple days between art and come back to it

[@PiNPOiNT2K]

@@coppervsglass also it appears that the color palette is a sticker? it appears while the screen is off. Does this mean you can't change the colors in your palette?

[@HHog]

​@@PiNPOiNT2K Correct, the color pallette is indeed a sticker and cannot be changed, unfortunately. There's a decent selection of colors available though, and I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to save a picture to your computer, then using a "colour swap" tool in your preferred art program to change one of the colors to the desired one.

[@1s4Gh0st]

Thats crazy, so simple even an idiot can make pixle art! Could an idiot also make a Microsoft Paint copy and bulk buy some cheap hardware. Jeez if they could and found some marks to market to I'm sure they could make a quick buck. Dont forget to add "NFT" and some other buzzwords to the marketing.

[@coppervsglass]

Oh dude it's so good. So simple to use. And yeah it could 100% be used for the NFT market

[@spammerscammer]

It's a useless device. Everyone has a smartphone already. This is 100% a paid review.

[@spammerscammer]

Why would anyone need this? This is an app at best. Everyone has a smartphone that's better in everyway. Just download one of the thousands of 8bit drawing apps. Lol China please stop making this useless crap that is going directly into the ocean. This guy was paid to make this review.

[@PinkBinx]

And is expensive is 150€

[@samimnotpete]

I'm interested in this for a child - no smartphone, spends a lot of hours in the pixel art creator in ACNH; having a dedicated device would give him more options, and free up the Switch for someone else to play. I do wish the price was lower.

[@PinkBinx]

@@samimnotpete same is good for all ages for real I want one but is tooo expensive

[@Edouard16]

It's pretty obvious the review was sponsored, as there is absolutely no trace amount of criticism. It is now illegal to publish sponsored videos without tagging them as such.

[@coppervsglass]

No one paid me anything to make this video. They sent it to me but nothing was arranged. Can I not like a product these days. There is little to no criticism on this product. People more in the space have left comments about stuff they maybe dont like but for me it was a great product end of

[@Edouard16]

@@coppervsglass Alright. I had just noticed that the other video reviews posted on the Kickstarter page were sponsored. Maybe you just forgot to tell your audience that there are apps that even better on a device they already own, and there are more responsive.

[@coppervsglass]

Or I don't think that......

[@vipersilent_rab]

@@coppervsglass "No one paid me anything to make this video. They sent it to me" ... Dude, that is the paid

[@wolf11]

Basically all this is is an expensive kids drawing toy that basically you can pretty much do the same thing on your phone and not have to spend that extra money yeah I'll pass the company was supposed to send me one but they never did so yeah whatever people promise to send me things all the time but never do that's what sucks but it just looks like a kid's toy it doesn't look like you can really do much with it so
