I've stared at this for way too long. It felt as if I was transported back to my grandparents' attic, watching the flashes of lightning and hearing the rain tapping on their roof

Yo i think this is my favorite pixel art ever. this is god tier vibes. congratz

Its the fact you chose to light the houses up in a couple frames and keep the silhouettes for others, it just read so real.

This is amazing pixel art but it also terrifies me for the whole reason of usually in thunderstorms and flashers like this there's usually something standing in the background during one of the flashes I don't see anything in this one so okay but it still makes me uneasy

What is the white thing right under the lamp, it looks like a skeleton bird head

I can hear this. The atmosphere is absolutely 10/10.

Amazing attention to detail and execution by the artist, it goes way beyond pixel art, good work!

Never thought I could ever 'feel' a pixel art gif before but wow. Just lying here you get immersed in to it and can just hear the rain and the thunder, feel the chill of the wind.

Amazing atmosphere.

Was anyone else waiting for some Cthulhean monstrosity to show up back-lit by lightning?

Relaxel t1_j52qdtt wrote

Love this. Though I'm not sure what I'm looking at when the front lights up, like I can't tell what position the lamp is in.

This makes my heart ache so lovingly. It's like the smell of petrichor for my soul

Damn talk about a mood! I like how extreme you went with the rain in the light. I grew in a decently stormy area. This is really nostalgic for me

Wow. What I wouldn’t give for a 1080p rendered version of this.

You nailed the color palette of the lightning lighting up the houses and sky. Also very realistic in the strikes sometimes only brightening the horizon instead of the building facades.

jforce321 t1_j533trg wrote

this just reminded me of my days growing up in a fairly old and thinly lined trailer. We would just turn everything off with the curtains open and you could just really feel like you were in the storm.

We shall watch your career with great interest.

This is excellent work..

Have you thought about putting some sort of shadow in the sky during the big lightning? Like some sort of giant monster shadow against a field or red accented clouds? UFO? Cathulu? Dickbutt?

Idk why this brings out an immense amount of nostalgia in me. But I love it.

It’s because it gives dimension to the GIF. One strike is closer to the camera to where the other is on the other side.

It’s the details that make it pixilated realness, which is what I appreciates about OP.

This is almost the same view as my childhood bedroom, except the house on the left was a McDonald's and the other one a seafood restaurant

Full Throttle. I barely remember the game but somehow it immediately popped in my head when I saw this.

Fantastic

Knew this was you as soon as I saw it. Your work is killer dude

TruStory2426 t1_j53wi5k wrote

This is amazing. I'd like to see more rain when the lightening flashes though. It's seemingly only raining where the street light is.

Beautiful. I’ve always wanted to play video games made with this kind of art; I’ve seen plenty of retro games but nothing with quite this feel. (Reminds me vaguely of Out Of This World, but with more pixels.)

Every time you post, it is a treat. You have a great eye for details and composition.

When the lightning lights up the sky, the rain is only under the lamp. It would be so much better if there was rain throughout the entire sky when it lights up.

Being a Kansas boy who has been up through many a nighttime thunderstorm, you really kinda nailed it. Could almost hear this gif.

Was waiting for a giantass Cthulu or something to appear over the house for just one of the lightning flashes.

The only thing that could make this better is some rolling thunder sounds, I love it. It's relaxing to watch

Why do these Giffs bring me a sense of calm? Can anyone explain this?

chewychaca t1_j557d65 wrote

Shouldn't the lightning reveal more rain?

Yibbly t1_j55s5h4 wrote

Which software do you use to make this? I’m making a 2D platformer but currently i’m importing all my assets instead of making them. This doesn’t look easy, but the end result is definitely worth the time.

Very good, although I wish it were about 3x longer, make the loop harder to notice.
