Art Design in Video Games

👋 Hi there! Welcome to the latest edition of SUPERJUMP Weekly. This week, we're exploring art design in video games through a combination of game developer interviews, in-depth essays, and even a piece crafted by a prominent pixel artist themselves.

This week's On the Radar previews Threads of Time by Riyo Games, and our Author Showcase features Christian Behler.
