I'm pretty new too so still learning! But yeah exactly you can't really just scale pixel art in the scene - because then your pixel scale becomes inconsistent and you have pixels of different 'sizes' and it can look a bit odd. So you have to author assets knowing ahead of time what scale they are!

Unity takes care of most of it! There's some setup required to make sure your pixel scale is consistent and crisp across resolutions.

Messing around with a bit more post-processing and added in a few extra details ๐Ÿ˜Š I want to get a slightly textured look to sit alongside the clean large pixels.

This was me trying to compose a little scene primarily to test out some of the kit but also to play with lighting a little.

I love how 'modern' soft lighting can look against 2D pixel assets ๐Ÿคค
