Hey all,
I'm new here and had a random question that I only learned might be a problem recently. I'm making a 2D pixel art platformer. I have a character with a gun that shoots in all directions. So I have one gun that rotates and points in the direction of the mouse or joystick. The problem is, I just heard people talking about how it's wrong to 'break' or 'go off of' the pixel grid. Which is when the pixel are rotated instead of making a new sprite and the pixels are no longer at a 90 degree angle. Is this a nitpick that just makes the game look a little less polished or any eyesore that will drive away players?
the example below is not my gun, just the best one to illustrate the problem.
