Make beautiful 2D hand drawn graphics

Why do devs keep doing this? Here is a gif of Hollow Knight with blur enabled and disabled (using a mod because you can't disable it in game).

That's one of the more baffling cases of depth of field Ive seen. It doesn't even make any sense.

All of the fucking game is like that, every background is high res and fully drawn, then post processed to a blurry mess.

Oh and by the way in that picture I also used the same mod to disable all post processing including bloom and film grain. The game looks 10 times better and uses less GPU.

I don't want it if it's not the original vision of professional artists. I will never presume I know more than them.

>implying it was the actual artist who drew the incredibly detail background that decided to smear post processing effects all over his hard work

I was conflicted over pirating this game but now I know I was justified.
Seriously wtf is this shit, I realized the blur was really bad in game but I couldn't imagine it covered so much detail.

lmao what a mindless drone

Why put post-processing effects in any sprite-based game?

Would it be harder for a developer to say, go old-school and not make usage of any special effects other than palette ones? Like Geo Storm, maybe.

Raiden II also looks beautiful, but it does have a couple of special effects that are particularly noticeable during the atmospheric re-entry scene.

ps4 when

Who cares hollow knight is boring as fuck anyways

gaydev here, let me tell you something m8
too much shit on the screen is bad
you need areas with high detail density, and areas where the eye can rest
these assets were probably reused anyway

here's a (you) for making me laugh

>I was conflicted over pirating this game but now I know I was justified.

You really showed them by not stealing their game, a true brave hero

dof only makes sense in cutscenes

That blur makes it actually harder for me to focus, because my brain can't make any sense of it

Go shit up Hat in Time threads, faggot

Great, can someone actually link the mod though?

Instead of asking it here why not ask it in the steam forums so the actual devs can see it?

>still not on ps4

lol

it's easy to fuck it up cause everyone's eyes and screens work a bit different, but blur is necessary if you can't do 60 fps
Blur is the only reason we can watch tv and movies shot in 24-30 fps without barfing, and a lot of people in the media still rely on it too much

you're all faggots there's literally nothing wrong with this

Wtf are you spouting?
>but blur is necessary if you can't do 60 fps

Are you literally 8 years old?

Oh shit man thanks I didnt even know this was an option.
