Hi! I'm a Game Art student currently working on a team project to create a top-down pixel art game. As the environment designer, my role is to create building sprites. As part of my primary research, I’m seeking feedback and comments on my work. While any feedback is welcome, I’ve also included a questionnaire with specific questions I’d love to hear your thoughts on.
