VERY cool artwork. The more you look, the more interesting little things you find. I\'ve been looking at this thing for hours now!

That is very cool!

It'd make a great poster, as long as it was legible once printed. It must have taken a good few weeks to do all that. Any idea what it's final resolution is?, or how long it took him/her/them?

hehe cool. Next step for the author is to turn that into a realtime world. Nothing too complex, just the same sort of world, but the little 2D people walking around, opening doors, going up lifts etc. That's what it's screaming out for. Maybe that's just a game devs perspective, but I think it'd be 10 times cooler if you could just slowly follow one little dude as he walks around.

The company that does it is called "Love Pixel". You can google it.

Yes, it would be a cool little game. Or perhaps a screen saver and everything moved.

How come the road underneath the bridge disappears and it's changes to the sea?

I've compressed the file up and attached it to this post... I'm gonna try to make it into one large flat file This would make the worlds best poster


EDIT: I'm not sure if this finished loading - I may have put too much load on Firefox, having dozens of tabs open (including two of this poster) + Photoshop + GoLive + Adobe PDF maker....

Probably an automatic zip extract. But yeah, I cancelled the download when I saw that. Automatic zip extracts are good, but nobody touches an exe with a bargepole if they know whats good for them (apart from my annoying dad).

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Looks like a suped up version of Habbo Hotel... Actually, it REALLY looks like habbo hotel.

Your signature has been erased by a mod because it's larger than 600x120...

Dude that is insane, I bet it took quite the time to do, gives pixel art a good name.

It will do, pixel art generally does (well any I've seen), like Pokemon looks like Yugi-Oh

Well done Nicholas!

It would be cool to make a program that took all the little pieces, buildings and people and randomly generated a city.
