I know this is a bit of a RTFM type question, but- I am hoping to develop my first game utilizing cocos2d and an underemployed relative to produce the game art. My question is, what is form the game art needs to be (Wispin is a good example of final product, though couldn't conceptually be further apart) in to make it usable for either standard or retina display. Thanks.
If you want to be able to quickly generate art for both standard definition and high definition, your best bet is to use vector graphics. That way you can scale your art for whichever resolution you need.
well it depends.. not everything is easily doable in vector art.. so the first thing i would suggest is to think about what devices you want to support. based on that let the artist do the first mockups of the scenes so he gets a feeling how to best approach things.. from there you can continue down the road to check for example if some things are easier done in vector, or modeled in 3d, or done in traditional raster gfx. at the end only you can tell what requeirements there are because you know your project.
game art somehow this was a repeat message - couldn't see how to delete it so fixing it this way for now how do i delete posts ?
