I was trying to remake my game to use pixel art instead of normal images, but when I tried resizing it turns out like this. (He has eyes btw idk why the eyes just disappeared)
#Sprites super pixelated

Changing the scale of sprites tends to deform them. It is recommended to just draw smaller sprites or to change the camera's zoom.
If you do change the zoom, keep it to something like 0.5x or 0.25x Anything in between will look off.

how do you change the zoom?
lilac sorrel
You need to add a Camera2D node and modify the stuff there, then set it's "current" property (can be done from the Inspector tab).

Also I never scaled the sprites...All i did was change the viewport window size and the window size override to scale it so nothing seems super small
lilac sorrel
Oh, is the override also following the rule of 0.5 or 0.25?
sonic slate
Imma be honest i didnt really understand the difference between viewport and window size override
im still super new to godot
lilac sorrel
I never touched it myself, so i'm not too sure either lol
Viewport should be the resolution. The Window override should be the actual window size of the game (unless it is fullscreen).
Depending on the "Mode" the game will be stretched/resized/etc to fit the window.
Wait, no. That's a different "Mode". I know there was a setting to change how the game fits the window.
This

Many settings have tooltips
I honestly never read this one before.
Apparently "viewport" is recommended for pixel art. So that should be ok.
lilac sorrel
Try changing Scale Mode to integer
Also, in the small preview from the Inspector, does the sprite also look pixelated there? Or only in the scene?
lilac sorrel
Oh, paired with the almost 2K resolution that may be a bit too much for your GPU.
sonic slate
like its not a big lag
its just a little bit slower

really?
lilac sorrel
I have a dedicated GPU and my monitor is capped at 1600 width.
And even then i get performance issues in many 2D games.
Resolution's performance hit increases exponentially.

oof
wait ok back to Godot why is my sprite deformed
lilac sorrel
About the preview, does it look ok there?
sonic slate
its a spritesheet that I cut down into Hframes and Vframes so it looks like this
lilac sorrel
hmm, try changing stuff in the Import tab.
Make sure it is set as Lossless
