It has now been a few months that we have been working with Pixune Studios and the quality they deliver is truly impressive.

VERY CUSTOMER-ORIENTED
Design quality and animation work were very good for character briefs and every feedback was taken into consideration. As a result, high quality design was received within a defined time frame, and Pixune was very responsive in terms of delivering our needs. They have taken everything into consideration to reflect our needs and delivered a successful project In a defined timeframe. They are very customer-oriented and try to help your activities as much as possible. Instead of taking money and running, they are like teammates for us.

NO BUGS AND NICE GRAPHICS
I hired Pixune to develop a sample runner game in Unity. The process was very smooth due to their experience, and their suggestions were always helpful. It was a bit over budget, but the results were excellent. The sample game had no bugs and nice graphics. The project was finished 3 weeks before the deadline. I hired two freelancers on Upwork before Pixune for a similar project and not only they were months late over the deadline, but the results were also very bad. So, I have to say I'm quite pleased with hiring Pixune.

CONTINUE TO HIRE THEM FOR OTHER PROJECTS
There's an old saying that when it comes to hiring people you can look for "good," you can look for "reliable," or you can look for "affordable"... but you won't be able to find somebody who is all three. In Pixune's case, I feel they come the closest of anybody I've dealt with over the past years of our company's existence. I've been really happy with Pixune. I originally hired them in the Fall of 2022 for game development and was happy enough with them that I continue to hire them for other projects, even ones that fall outside of the original reason I contacted them. Besides game development, I've had them do web design work for our site. They're very flexible, accommodating, and extremely reliable.

BETTER THAN THE REFERENCE
The quality of the art received was really impressive after the team came up with ideas and improvements all the time for the characters. Being timely and attentive to details is great but their passion and involvement in our project were amazing! We will surely collaborate again.

HIGHLY COOPERATIVE PEOPLE
The Pixune team is full of kind, excellent, considerate, empathetic, talented, and highly cooperative people. The quality of the work that was received was outstanding, however it did take multiple iterations to reach that level. Some instructions were missed, but were fixed - it just lengthened the process and the schedule.

SURELY COME BACK AGAIN
This guy did really good work, he really did amazing art and even after the artist finished he wasn't happy with it so he did it all over again from scratch. I really recommend him and will surely come back again. (this is already the second time)

THE END RESULT WAS WORTH
This was a great experience overall. He took time to actually understand what was needed to deliver the project that I was asking for. Modelers tend to rush because they think they know what the client want, but Pixune went over to clarify the specifics. It required a little more time than we agreed on. However, the end results was worth an extra few days. Trust me...it's worth waiting a few more days, than to have something you don't like at the end. I highly recommend to anybody reading this review. And I look forward working with Pixune again. Thank You!

PIXUNE GOT THE PROJECT RIGHT FROM THE START
Pixune got the project right from the start. We had a somewhat unique art style that needed consideration to be both cartoony and low poly. They were great at interpreting the brief and adding their own style and ideas which really helped. Throughout the rest of the concepts and 3D models & animation steps, nothing was a problem, they asked good questions and were happy to jump on a video call for updates at any time. We will be using them in the future!

Why Our Pixel Art Design Studio?
We are perfectionists by nature and can’t even deliver a bad pixel art design even if asked to! An ugly art annoys our brains more than you.
Several times, a client was happy with a piece of created art, but we were not, so we designed it again from scratch at our own expense.
We understand the importance of performance in digital projects. Our pixel art assets are optimized for efficiency, ensuring quick load times and smooth gameplay or interaction without sacrificing quality. This makes our designs ideal for both high-end platforms and resource-constrained devices.
You will be constantly updated to share your comments, apply any changes to the game art, and ensure we are on the right track. An exclusive account manager will be allotted to your project, who will manage our communications and respond to messages quickly. They are always available, on-call, and ready to jump on a meeting with you, even on weekends.
We welcome changes and criticism, and we are as flexible as possible when it comes to implementing revisions. However, as professionals, we will express our opinions and provide our advice. Ultimately, the decision-making lies with you.
You may have experienced situations where delegating a project has resulted in both time and cost wastage, with a failed outcome. That’s not the case here. We will take full responsibility to ensure that the desired outcome is achieved once and for all.

To create awesome pixel game art design, 7 critical points should be taken into account:
1. Strong Visual Identity:
Memorable pixel art designs have a distinct and recognizable style. Whether it’s the color palette, character shapes, or overall theme, the design should stand out and be instantly identifiable.
2. Attention to Detail:
In pixel art, every pixel counts. Creating immersive animated pixel art worlds requires close attention to the arrangement and use of pixels to create intricate details, even within the constraints of a small canvas. This precision adds depth and texture, making the design more engaging.
3. Simplicity and Clarity:
While detail is important, simplicity is key in pixel art. The best designs balance complexity with clarity, ensuring that the image is easy to read and understand at a glance. This is particularly important in game design, where quick recognition is essential.
4. Expressive Characters and Elements:
Memorable pixel art often features characters and objects that convey emotion and personality, even with limited pixel space. Clever use of color, shading, and animation can bring these elements to life, making them more relatable and engaging.
5. Consistent Style:
A coherent and consistent art style across all assets is crucial for creating a cohesive visual experience. Whether you’re designing a single character or an entire game world, maintaining a consistent style ensures that every element feels like part of the same universe.
6. Effective Use of Color:
Color plays a vital role in pixel art, helping to set the tone and mood of the design. Memorable pixel art often utilizes a limited color palette effectively, using contrast and shading to create depth and highlight important details.
7. Nostalgic Appeal with Modern Twist:
Pixel art often evokes a sense of nostalgia, harking back to the classic video games of the past. However, memorable designs can blend this nostalgic charm with modern elements, creating a fresh yet familiar visual experience that appeals to both old and new audiences.
There are 4 criteria for picking the best pixel art design studios for your projects:
- Portfolio: A pixel art design company’s expertise is showcased via its breathtaking game art portfolio, and nothing tells better what they are capable of than its past works.
- Reviews: Read their reviews online and see what their past clients think of them. The most honest on-hand thing you can find in the best pixel art illustration studios is their online reviews.
- Communication: First impressions matter – especially when it comes to communication. If they’re slow to respond or just plain rude from the get-go, imagine how it’ll be once they have your money! Trust your gut and work with people who make you feel good.
- Time and Budget Compatibility: After all, you might find the best pixel art design studio, but your time schedule and/or money budget do not meet their demands. Find a pixel art design partner that meets all the previous characteristics as well as your budget and schedule.
Here’s what you can expect from our pixel art design studio:
- Regular Updates: We’ll provide you with regular updates on the progress of your pixel game art design for your feedback.
- Revision Process: We understand revisions are often part of the creative process. Our pixel art illustration studio offers a structured revision process to ensure your feedback is incorporated effectively.
- Open Door Policy: We have an open-door policy, so you’re welcome to ask questions or discuss any concerns you may have at any time.
- Educational Resources: Our pixel game art design studio can provide you with educational resources to help you better understand the game art process and the creative decisions involved.
