In the intro alone, there’s so many details and life to the town

This is, so far, the most interesting KZfaq channel to learn pixel art. Thanks for giving us such much value, and good luck with Chef RPG. It looks amazing! already in my wishlist! ☺️

if you ever live-streamed while you worked on the game I'd 100% watch! really enjoyed learning about your process, pixel art & game dev is really interesting to me even though I'm a traditional artist

8:03 wow that is such a great improvement. Very brave of you to change the design so drastically for the sake of our enjoyment. It looks soooooo good

Fantastic insight into game design principles. I love that idea of considering each camera frame as it's own work of art to help build the world. And my gosh, your artwork is beyond breathtaking! The level of detail is astounding.

I've been watching your progress on developing and it's a huge inspiration to see how it's progressed! I too have an architecture background and I have been very interested in game design/development. The way you establish your environment and bring it to life with lighting and thinking about the element of time interacting with each building is beautiful. I'd definitely get this game when it comes out.

Your delivery of explanation, thought-behind-the-actions, and thoroughness, are very ASMR'ish. Your content is very much appreciated, at least by me!

It's really great to hear you explain the complex archetectual concepts broken down into your game design. I'm an artist and can understand 'making a scene look good', but it's really interesting to hear the purposefulness of town planning and the intention that goes into the the placement of all the aspects of the world you're building!

I'm genuinely so excited for this game. Just by looking at your videos you clearly care a lot about this project and the quality of it, especially from a user perspective which is so good to see. I have the utmost faith that this game will be top notch. Wishing you and your team all the best! Can't wait to give it a go :)

Your house scene was improved exponentially by that little fence and lamp post because of the perspective and you were so casual about it! It was a brilliant way to really create depth.

I love how everything looks like coming together while you keep adding details. Perfect! ♥️

Everything look so good! I was going to suggest you make a game but then I finished the whole video and saw that you’re actually already doing that. So amazing!

Thank you for taking the time to explain your design process. This video contains a ton of useful information. As someone who is learning pixel art & level design and constantly striving to improve at it, I find it extremely inspiring.

I've been addicted to your videos lately; you're such an amazing architect and artist. Your comment about viewing a space from both a designer's perspective and a user's perspective reminded me of a school that I used to go to. Our mascot was a hornet, so someone designed the campus to look like a hornet from a birds eye view. The parking lot was one of the wings, so it ended up oddly shaped, difficult to navigate, and with only one exit for the entire student body. It took half an hour for the parking lot to empty out at the end of the day, but at least they were able to hang up some cool photos in the hallways. Another excellent video! I can't wait to see what you'll do next.

The advice you've given not only applies to 2d game art, but it's invaluable for comics as well! I've been trying to figure out how to make my pages look both cohesive and beautiful, and this was the perfect answer. Thanks for making such cool videos!

AAAA IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS TO COME OUT and to see the new character designs and animations!!! I can already see myself loving this game and I'm so glad that your tutorials have led me to finding Chef RPG! cant wait!!

This is the greatest video on level design I've watched so far. It tells great detail about the technical and artistic process behind of designing a game level. Not just tell principles to follow.

Thank you for putting this together. It helped unblock me from my own art process. Finding ways to consistently improve is one of the first challenges to Pixel Art. Watching your video and comparing it with my own allowed me to do a gap analysis. One glaring gap is your line quality. You did your outline with precision not as a messy sketch as I was doing. I’ll give that a try by focusing on crisp line quality. Again, thank you!

I adore pixel art already, but I have to say just from what I've seen from your game so far, your pixel art is absolutely beautiful!! I haven't been this excited for a new pixel art game in a while. Fantastic job so far and it's fascinating to see your work flow :) Keep up the awesome work!

You share such good information on designing environments. Also taking a look on the process makes things so much more clear. Thanks for the useful videos bro

amazing! your take in environment design from the architecture perspective feels really fresh, i'm reflecting about and learning a lot! thanks for sharing your process

Since I found your channel , I always look up the entire video to see the whole process. I really love your combination of architecture and pixel art. Somehow I learned new things , thank you for creating all video. Love your content!

I found it great how you went into the artistical importance of little details in the world. Making a game is never just about plain code. It must feel alive. If a game manages to immerse you with it's visual and sound design then it's done right.

i really LOVE your content so much!!! learning about architecture techniques and watching you make pixel art is therapeutic af Chef RPG looks amazing so far!!! can't wait

This just cleared my doubts about things. I also did the same way, creating separated assets and putting it all together to create a scene. But it always felt like it doesn't fit each other as a whole and it always frustrates me. As much as I find it a bummer I might end up starting all over again, this gave me a better understanding and new insights on how I will tackle the problem this time around. Thank you so much for this.

Dude, this is so awesome! Thanks for sharing this process with us. Your game is looking mighty dope!

I love how the game looks, it looks absolutely breathtaking, been watching your videos since I first landed your channel, I hope to be able to learn how to make games as beautiful as this

I've been watching all of your videos and I'm finally caught up and so inspired by your work. Can't wait to play this game(work of art) !

So glad for your Kickstarter! I've already wishlisted the game

i feel so blessed being able to have a peak into your designs! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this with us!! Incredible what amazing art you create! It may seem mundane but the lamp post you drew in such a cool angle even is absolutely blowing me away!!!

Wow your voice is very soothing and inspiring. Your art style and genuine openess with building a game is such a breath of fresh air.

this is such a great explanation of these ideas, i really enjoyed the way you elaborated on different aspects and advantages :) so pleasant with the music and pace too

Oh! I'm glad to see you back! I hope your break was fullfilling! This is one of my favorite videos now. Extrapolation, thats such a good concept, that I have been using without thinking or knowing what it is. Now that I know about it, and how to apply it with more thought it's goning to be useful for me! And the art is beautiful as always!

I'm glad that I found my new favorite channel here, all of your works are wondeful! I adore pixel art so much since I was a kid. I really like to play a rpg pixel games, like harvest moon, stardew valley, adventure bar story, etc. You inspire me to start creating my own art right now :D Hope you will always have tons of ideas to make another beautiful pixel art!

Developing my own game as well and your art and videos are defiantly helping inspire

good luck on the project and thank you for all the great ideas and advices

this is a really cool video! I haven't thought about this kind of approach to level design before, but it makes a lot of sense. also I love seeing your art process! thank you for sharing with us :)

I enjoy your content a lot. It never fails to teach me a lot while being a superb eye-candy. You have talent and I'm looking forward your next video !

This was an incredibly insightful video. And I can't believe this gam has been under my radar for so long. The art alone is right up my alley.

You have simultaneously made me interested in architecture and pixel art. My strong suit has always been character art but I’ve always dreamed to make buildings and landscapes also. I think I’ll try it and see if I have a knack for it all this time!

I love your explanations and demonstrations of creating the scene!! 😮 I’m interested in making a rpg game but have no experience in background drawing or game design. Very excited to learn from you!!

I really loved everything in this video. The information was completely useful and also the art is completely gorgeous I cannot wait until your game is released! I'll be waiting for it.

Art just keeps getting better! Nice job, noah.

Looks absolutely incredible so far and I can't wait to play it! Keep up the great work!

I've been struggling with figuring out of how to go about making rooms and locations in my own game for ages now. I'd look at games like yours and Eastward, just trying to figure out how to make such beautiful locations. Watching this feels like cracking some sort of secret code. Thanks so much for this video! It's super helpful.

I absolutely loved this video and the process you showed! Keep up the amazing work I cant wait to play the game!!!

Love your process. Definitely learned something, thank you.

Amazing video. The "isolated scene" and "extrapolation principle" are really powerful tools that seem obvious in retrospect, but which never really clicked until I heard you explain it so clearly. Consider me subbed and I'll be sharing this with my students and colleagues.

This is an amazing video. My mind is blown. Focusing on an individual scene and making a work of art is an excellent idea. Taking this with my on my video game dev journey! Thank you!

This came in really handy and re-sparked an old interest of mine, thank you for the video!

this is amazing! I can't wait for this game to come out, i'm also excited to see it develop as you release more stuff like this :)

This is an excellent level design tip: well explained and well demonstrated. I'll totally apply that on my next game. Thank you!

The architecture in your game is probably my favorite aspect of it. I love the attention to detail.

Your game's visual style has improve so much! I really like your art and the explanations you give in your videos as to why you take certain decisions during the development while comparing it to your old work. I don't have any project at the moment but I feel your channel is a great help for those who do because of how well presented the information in your videos is :-)

Dude, this is amazing. I mean even knowing architecture and game design (to some small extent in my case), I think what you're talking about is the perfect way to combine these.

This game seems like an absolute gem and ur work is honestly inspiring

Just discovered you and you are now my fav indie dev on youtube.

Please keep showing us these kinds of videos showing your process when making art!

Already this game looks so incredibly lively and well made! Incredible! I cannot support anyone financially right now but I hope your game receives lots of funding. It would be amazing to play the final game!

That way of design by framming like a portrait blew my mind. Amazing job!

Finally a new video. I was so excited for a new video that I kept on rewatching the old ones

Thank you so much, I’ve been trying to get a good workflow for this style of level design.

Great advice! It makes sense, since a game usually tells a story, and by extension you will have "set pieces" to cover key beats in the experience. Glad to hear about the progress you're making. I even got another copy (in addition to the two in my backer rewards) so my siblings can play it too!

No creators doesn't lecture or lesson for their building game except you. Thank you for teaching us and I would never know Chef RPG if you didn't upload.

This has been so informative! Thank you so much. Your knowledge and experience has been a god send. Thank you!

Oh wow, this is really great to watch :D I love pixelart but never fully emerged into it, since I come from the digital painting area. But watching this during work motivates me to have fun with some buildings and backgrounds in pixelart. Thanks so much for this great explanation.

Thanks for making this video! I'm happy to have learned this technique from you!😊

you are my inspiration! I started making a harvest moon-esque game on untiy using pixel art after following your journey for a while. i realise that it is what i want to do too. not only is it fun but it is so rewarding when it works and looks nice. thank you so much, Noah. Thank you!!!

Just added to my Steam Wishlist. Awesome work you've made, dude🤙

You give some pretty good tips and your videos are so enjoyable! If I get enough money I’ll buy the physical art book. Everything in this game is so gorgeous I just kinda need it to stare at the art

This is amazingly helpful to see the design process, thought, and goals behind an approach to creating artistic solutions. I see so many people focused on the "pixel" aspects of pixel art and miss the "art" portion. You also are able to integrate the artistic approach within the scope of the unique challenge of level design. A+ video.

I am so thrilled to see another video from you!

I hadn't heard about this technique and I love it! Your art style is gorgeous, I had to sub to keep an eye on the channel!

Haven't watched yet, but so excited to see another video from your channel!! Your work is always mesmerizing and so inspiring

Wow. Excellent design technique. Thanks for sharing!

This video is amazing It helped me frame my working process in a completely new way. a way that is non random and has a flow that is evident in itself

This is honestly the most informative thing on game design I have ever watched. I aspire to be this good someday.

That nature scene looks really good! You're a great environment pixel artist. When you described a house at the edge of the cliff, I immediately thought of something more like Josephine Anwhistle's House in A Series of Unfortunate Events, but what you ended up with looks really great nonetheless!

Thank you for this video. Those insights are so inspiring and so helpful for people who are learning to make games. So much to think about.

I am predicting major success on this project. Everything looks amazing.

Awesome skill! i learned a lot in this video alone, so much useful information and the way you explain things makes it easier to understand. I'm not quite there yet but I hope one day I will be as good as you! great video!

Having the entire map as a poster would be so good!

Your Pixel arts are literally life for me ❤️

Beautiful style and great content, thank you!

Also studied architecture. It really is a good perspective for approaching level design. The points in this video are so relatable. Much easier to comprehend when someone understands the user experience side of things and it's influence on design thinking.

I wish you the best, this is amazing and I can't wait to play the game

Your art looks so freaken good you are so talanted!

Really inspiring video! And great tip about the "water-bottle"-technique!

First video i watch from your channel + it was very precise and inspiring + i will watch all the videos + i wish you good luck for your projects + ratio.

amazing video as always! so excited to see the next update for chef rpg!

Man, I’m not even a game designer and this video was super fascinating. Added your game to my wish list :D

This is so awesome. Thanks for sharing your process!

Thanks Pixel Architect! Your voice and the music match, congrats! Also, your game looks cute, love the water/rain.

I’m not a game developer or have any interest in map/house/architectural/etc design, but man this video was so interesting. Also the tip of start small/on one portion and then work from there makes such sense and can be applied to so many activities/jobs. Very cool. I’m very interested to play your game!

Amazing process and tips, thank you!

Thank you for sharing nice tutorials. and beautiful result!

that was brilliant. simple ideas, well presented. ty

I like how you bring architecture into gamedev :) Also nice method, might come in handy if I ever have to do big environments like these.

I can actually visually an amazing cyberpunkish kinda game being made with this technique, especially when you've shown the night time of the chill fish market. Amazing concept, amazing work.

What you said in 7:00 about taking a small object and turning it into a game. I believe game jams are a great exercise for what you mean, they usually have a theme and you need to create a whole game with that theme in a short period of time. For example if a game jam's theme is "Water bottle", you would definitely see dozens if not hundreds of game concepts revolving around a water bottle in different and creative ways.
