For the Art Direction of Toaster Wars, we decided to use Pixel Art.

Pixel Art has a wonderful retro feeling about it that we believe will help get High School Students interested in playing. Choosing Pixel Art will also help our Artists and Animator as there will be lots of assets made for this game and using Pixel Art is an effective way create all the artwork needed in a short amount of time.

Here is an example of our Background Art and a Sprite Sheet from Toaster Wars, along with the different stages of upgrades you can receive for your spaceship as you answer questions in the final stage of the game.
