Please Help! 8-Bit Art blurry?

Armuel

I have decided to use 8bit art in my game, I have created 8x8 sprites but when I put them into gamesaladthey become blurry because i have to make the character 100x100. How do I fix this? I want them to keep their 8x8 resolution.

@Armuel could you provide us with a screenshot, possibly?

Either make your actor as 8x8 or resize the actor in photoshoP to 100x100 using 'preserve hard edges'

The artwork. Coming into gs should be at the size you want to use

@Armuel, upload it to somewhere like imgur

Armuel

Yes, but how do I upload it to this discussion?

I'll try the photoshop method.

I did scale canvas on pixen to 100x100 and it works great. Thanks.

Is there any way to change this in GameSalad? It seems like it would use LESS processer power than blurring the images like it currently does.

@grierdill you cant increase the size of images in gamesalad with out it making them blurry. You can down size but not the reverse

Go to make8bitart.com and there you can do your artwork, I had the exact same problem. Hope it helped!

Lmao its been three years bro I don't even use game salad anymore. Close but no cigar.

What incantation did you use to resurrect this thread from the dead? It was not the Clatu Verata Nictu one was it?
