Night Train - Pixel Art Timelapse with Relaxing Piano

[@Arualiaa]

Just a suggestion for the train station! To make it look more realistic, you definitely should add some texture bumps (for blind people using canes) and a painted safety line near the edge of the platform. A wheelchair ramp next to the stairs, too. Most train stations have those accessibility features, and that kind of thing is also important to keep in mind when designing other maps, too. “Real” (in the game, lol) people are meant to navigate these public spaces, as opposed to being some regular landscape art, and real people come in all kinds. It’s those tiny details that add some extra charm and realism to an environment, and they also tend to be super visually interesting and cool to draw.

Ooh does this mean that there’s going to be a train system in Chef RPG? If not, still beautiful artwork!

[@PixelArchitect]

Yes! The train will connect the starting town with Billboard City - a much more futuristic city.

[@profien7895]

@@PixelArchitect nice! this gave me more hype. I truly think your art work is amazing too

[@dragonsmith9012]

@@PixelArchitect I love the vibe of make-believe you're putting out there. Very often when our generation plays god we're really angsty about it. To me a true creator is automatically happy in so far as they can create. That's what seems to radiate from your content.❤

[@theshiftybloke4672]

Crikey - it just goes from a couple of blocks to an immediate steampunk vibe train, I love it

[@7own878]

All these little details make me happy here. Artists have to look at things in a different way than normal people. If you ask an average person to draw a train they will be able to think of the main attributes. They are going to draw a wide noodle with some windows, the power cables and maybe some circles for the wheels. But there is so much more to a train than that. You really have to look at all these little things the eye takes for granted to make art stand out.

[@janthummler3548]

yay I really like your piexelart

[@lulu_8615]

Just a suggestion, I know that for a futuristic game like this techno/electronica is probably the go to for the soundtrack, but I feel like something like shoegaze would work very well with the laid back atmosphere .

[@PixelArchitect]

Thanks for the suggestion! I will keep it in mind when deciding on the music. You are right, it should be a combination of futuristic, but still laid back and cozy.

[@hershey8004]

@@PixelArchitect Hey you should maybe check out the Katana Zero soundtrack for inspiration. It’s a great game with futuristic vibes and most of the soundtrack is action packed electronic music but there’s a couple nice and cozy tracks ;) (sorry for long comment)

[@ryanferdinanddarmansyah1115]

Damn so if there is a train in the game that mean there will be another town or village? Really wait for the next progress HYPE!!!

[@PixelArchitect]

There will be a futuristic metropolis known as Billboard City. Planning to make it a culinary Mecca where only the best restaurants can survive :)

[@ryanferdinanddarmansyah1115]

@@PixelArchitect woah if there is a another town or city i hope you make the side quest not only a quest but have some connection on the story as well that will be very interesting.

[@PixelArchitect]

@@ryanferdinanddarmansyah1115Yes, the other city will be part of the main storyline, unlocked midway-ish in the main quest line

Thanks! Ghibli is big artistic influence for parts of the world

[@MajesticNin]

So beautiful and futuristic I love it and the color palate. These videos have become a not so guilty pleasure and I absolutely enjoy them.

[@honeybee8194]

Ooh this looks so cool! I can’t wait to see the whole game finished it’s gonna be so pretty Also on an unrelated note, if you want nice perfect pixel circles (which you may not, what do I know lol) there’s lots of “pixel circle generators” online that you can use :)

[@PixelArchitect]

Oh wow that's pretty cool. Thanks for the info! Will make circles so much easier :)

[@pyrytheburger3869]

also there is, you know, the ellypsis tool

[@ThePixelExpedition]

You're artwork is just stunning. I can't wait to play Chef RPG in the near future! 😁

[@pn4960]

Hey I know this is an old video but I want to tell you that I absolutely love it. This kind of video gives me peace. The art is great and the drawing process Is interesting watch. And the music is just a perfect match.

[@NoahWizard]

This train is charming, and I learned a ton. Thanks for making the video (and the one with the interior).

such a great inspiration sir

[@cannibalduckie]

So glad I found your content !! You def need more recognition!! 💕💕💕

[@RickLeeofAtlanta]

you make such beautiful pixel artwork. I hope when you go to advertise your game at its release you will use pixel art instead of your current chef illustrations. It would drive home the nostalgia and style of the game better.

[@Cam1417-TK]

Nice choice of colors! It looks beautiful.

[@arkangelmerici1170]

Wow!! The song was very nostalgic and great work as always! It made me think about the music on the game. We don´t need to know yet but I´m really curious. This game will be amazing!!

incredible artwork as always! So happy about the relaxing piano too i love to watch your videos before sleeping because they relax me so much :)

[@steelistheunworthy6534]

Can you make the train interior have like a bar and seats and stuff, where you wait for a minute or two before you arrive at a different town?

[@atharvalangote8258]

It feels incomplete without the interior right?

[@steelistheunworthy6534]

@@atharvalangote8258 i just think it could be actual transportation with some interesting interior waiting

[@atharvalangote8258]

@@steelistheunworthy6534 yes even if it's for 10-20 seconds of waiting and looking out of window. But it's lot of work and may be not that important to actual gameplay.

great video again!!!

[@Anne-tx3xg]

Im so excited!!!! Do you have a patreon?

[@PixelArchitect]

Glad you enjoyed it! Don't think I will do a Patreon, but I will do a Kickstarter in a couple months to directly fund the game's development. Would appreciate any support :)

[@zachv465]

All aboard! Next Stop: Swamp Bottom

[@gammaerra3087]

Big fan of the project, big fan of you. Just curious.... What do feel when you're drawing these landscapes/structures and characters? I'm guessing you listen to similar music when you're working on it. Trying to figure out where you heart and mind is as you're putting this world together. Keep going! ! !

[@PixelArchitect]

Thanks! Yes, music helps add a lot of inspiration, but mostly during the initial design/sketching process. Clubbed to Death is one of my favorite songs, and works super well when I'm trying to create a cyberpunk feel. But pixel art involves a lot of grind when past the design phase, so I just listen to long lectures or podcasts and stuff when drawing

[@ZarathoustraShorts]

[@itsuhangela2745]

Can you make a video of you playing one of your games and describing it's concept more. I just think it would be cool to get a tour around your map as you play your character :>

[@PixelArchitect]

Definitely! Will make more Devlogs and design videos in the coming weeks. Excited to show some of the new features added

[@nl7230]

why did you remove the inside of the train? 14:39 btw amazing work 👏

[@PixelArchitect]

Thanks! I realized that since I'm drawing interiors bigger than exteriors, the inside of the train would look strange if I drew it out. Instead, the interior will be in a separate scene and will be drawn bigger and with more detail. It's pretty typical in pixel art games where buildings are smaller than their interiors

[@빈트-t7j]

YOU ARE AMAZING! I want to know how big the canvas is when you work on it.

Not sure if I will do a separate tutorial video, but I will throw in some mini tutorials in the design videos - the Architecture into Pixel Art video has a couple tutorials thrown in. My expertise is more in design, so I will focus on that.
