Sprite Sizes for Video Games

Questions & Answers
1

My team is working on a project that will be rendered in 2D sprites. My artist would like to know what sprite size he should create the art for the game in regards to resolution. The game will be HD and I myself have been wondering this question.

Anyone here who could suggest sprite resolution or even better, describe the construction of sprites used in games like the latest Metal Slug, Super Robot Wars and King of Fighters games. The sprite work in these games are very detailed and great to look at. Thanks.

Typically, you’d create assets at the highest resolution you want to target. For example, if you’re targeting iPad 3 as your highest platform, then make your assets look good on a screen of 2048x1536.
