It only has 320 dpi scanning resolution :( If it had at least 600 that would be cool. But it's cheap and portable, so it's got that going for it.

WHOA!

Since when did the pixelation forums become powered by simple machines? I mean, I know I don't visit the site every day but I wasn't certainly prepared for a change like this. What happened?

New server and apparently the old theme isn't applied yet. (It was a SMF before, just skinned.)

Hey friends, I made a 3D screenshot of Fetch Quest, if you have a 3DS and wanna see it you can download and put it in your camera folder.

Pixel art looks really neat in 3D. Wayforward have a game called Mighty Switch Force coming out soon, looks really cool and I'll be buying it just to see some quality pixel art in 3D.

Since July 2005. Ever since Pixelopolis.

I think the farthest away layers (mountains and clouds) should move the least amount (slowest) and then as the layers come closer to the camera they should progressively move faster. That is, if you intended to get that "looking-outside-through-moving-car-side-window" effect. Currently it looks like it's just the other way around in your screenshot with the farthest layers moving faster than everything else.

I think for 3D further away stuff is split more. Which is why the far away stuff "moves" more.

The 3DS requires you to hold it quite closely to your face, close enough that your eyes are crossed a little, the further each layer is apart to each eye the more parallel your eyes receive the same image which makes it appear further away. You can reverse the process but it strains the eyes a lot.
