When I teach art students, I usually explain style as being "the particular set of solutions an artist uses to solve problems." Much of this comes down to the fact that it's literally impossible to copy 1-for-1 what exists in the real world, so we have to abstract. How we choose to abstract different elements is what ultimately gives rise to a particular style.

One minor point: I think it’s worth calling out parallax as part of perspective. Holloway Knight uses it to great effect.

I like how brown your set-up looks. It's a very relaxing color choice.

Dude this is so good and easy to understand! I really appreciate you talking about these concepts and applying it to your own game. You need to start a masterclass series haha. Great nod to Scarlett Deer Inn. I think Hyperdrive Inn also uses the same fabric style.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and also for you deep analysis of Game Art Styles.

I really like the way U recapped the key points at the end, using an example :)

I just had an almost pavlovian response to hearing The World Ends With You get mentioned and instantly feeling happy, 'cause it was on my mind throughout the whole segment

Your game looks so good! this was a really good breakdown on what makes styles so recognisable. I am a hopeful artist hoping to learn gamedev as a hobby and this was so helpful. good luck with Lighthoof!!
