"Oligarch Pool Date Game" (sic) — an imaginary game that I conceptualised for the 3rd Nokia Game Jam, organised by artist Polyducks on Itch.io. The idea behind the game is that you have to successfully flirt with one of various oligarchs in order to complete your assigned mission, before the time runs out (represented as a bar on the bottom of the game). The different pools have an increasing number of oligarchs and also serve as difficulty levels. The oligarchs might like you or not based on their own unique personality. For the title screen, I decided to do pixel calligraphy, which is something that I'd never done before, but I'm quite happy with all of the flourishes that I managed to fit into this tiny format (only 96 × 65 pixels). Tools used: Glyphs, Pikopixel, Aseprite. #nokia #artjam #pixelart #pixel #oligarch #game #videogame #conceptart #pixelcalligraphy #calligraphy #titlescreen #retro #graphicdesign #lettering #pool #aseprite #green #mobilephone #aesthetics
A black and green pixel art picture that displays the name Oligarch pool date game. The word Oligarch has been rendered in a very ornate and calligraphic manner with several flourishes, while the rest of the text look like standard pixel fonts. Above the title, there's a big round heart crowned by a tiny diamond. Around the title and the heart there are pixel sparkles, bubbles and frames.
