I was bored...

In order to prevent annihilation of everything within fifty square miles...

I made this:

Not quite as 'mini', but here's a pic of my PCs that I drew in MSPaint:

Kaelis, I take it you voted option 3?

How many colors are you guys using?

I see your SHMUP fighter and raise you a dreadnought and escorts.

No fair!

That's an entire game, not just pixel art!

Kaelis, you mind if I hijack those white ships (credit given)? I'd like to try to use 'em for a SHMUP that I may or may not do in the near or far future, soon as I get off my lazy ass and learn some more C++.

don't care about that, was made purely for fun. First time doing color pixel art, too.

Do i mind?! Certainly not! Id love to see them used somewhere! No need to give credit either.

I was thinking about using them myself in some kind of space strategy, but i couldnt think of any good idea for unique gameplay.

If you wish, i could also help you with learning C++ and general game development. From what i remember, you were learning/coding in C#, so it not a long road. Or even code some stuff if you're ever going to start that game.

I can also make more of those, many more. Not a problem at all

You know, you don't need unique gameplay. You can just have a refined game that runs well. Also, I thinks a space strategy would fit well with the kind of ships you have there.

Unfortunately, my design philosophy is different

With those ships, game graphics would be rather low-fi. With such graphics, you need to have a really good gameplay. But i wouldnt want to make a complex, multidimensional beast of a strategy, i want something casual, something simple at the core. On the other hand, it can't be boring; should be diverse and/or unique enough to provide entertainment. The rts/strategy ideas i have and seen don't provide these qualities, at least not enough to offset 'poor graphics'.

Doens't have to be interesting, sometimes it can just look interesting.

BSF does.

I wouldn't exactly call your ships 'poor'.
