RPG Graphics style research My game will be an Role playing game (RPG) within the fantasy genre. This is a wide and diverse genre, so pixel art, photorealism, cel-shaded, and abstract graphic styles are all valid options to use in this genre. Here is an example of each. Pixel Art – Realm of the Mad God This is an example of how simple graphics can be quite effective when it comes to creating an RPG fantasy game, although it lacks realism, it makes up for this by being bright and vibrant, allowing it to be more visually appealing and fun. Photorealism – Skyrim By using graphics as close to real life as possible for it’s time, skyrim creates the most realistic and immersive experience possible, this graphics style is effective in Fantasy RPG because it creates a more immersive and involving experience for the player. Cel-Shaded – Borderlands Cel-shaded graphics is less common in this genre. It is only semi-realistic, but this allows for more colourful and creative gameplay in certain situations, it can still create an immersive experience, and is often used to replicate comic book art styles. This graphics style is quite often used in children’s games. Abstract – Cyber Knights Abstract graphics are difficult to categorise as they are often unlike other style. However, they are used quite often in the RPG genre and can often be used to replicate cartoon styles that you would see on TV.
