Hi! I need a site where I can read about the visual styles of game characters. I saw an article somewhere that compared cartoon, realistic, stylized approaches, with an emphasis on game design. But I can't remember the address. Does anyone know such a source?

Hello! Visual style is not just "to draw beautifully", but a thoughtful choice that reflects the character of the game, its mood and target audience. A successful style can make a project recognizable in a matter of seconds and distinguish it from hundreds of others.
At the stage of developing our first mobile game, we could not agree: someone was pulling towards realism, someone - towards comic stylization. Everyone made arguments, but everything turned into an emotional dispute. To resolve the issue constructively, I started looking for materials on the topic and found an article at character art styles click here. It not only describes styles, but also explains in which genres they work best. We read it together, and it became clear that for our arcade game, a cartoon style would be a winning solution. Since then, if we doubt something, we look for facts, and do not argue on emotions. If you have disagreements on style in your team, this is a great tool for discussion.
