Are there any games made with GM that feature digitized charecters like in early MK games?
I imagine it must be much easier (if not quicker) to just photograph people posing in costumes and edit them as sprites instead of drawing everything. This style was all the rage in the 90's. But I wonder why we dont see this style used in retro styles games these days. I love pixel art as much as the next person, but it would be interesting to see digitized characters in games for a change these days.
I started doodling some characters and I thought if using a camera and a model would make a noticeable difference . I could maybe photograph a friend in a motorbike helmet and camos, holding a nerf gun and my cyborg supersoldier sprites are as good as ready. If I wanted wizard sprites, I could use a fake beard, bathrobes and pointy hats that should be easy to find. Of course finishing touches would be required but the overall process is more "hands on" and do a lot for character building.
