Finally Started Developing an Ultra Low Rez Christmas Game
This morning, and again tonight, I managed to put in time creating some simple graphics and getting a game screen displayed.
Think of how Atari 2600, Intellivision or VIC-20 games look.
I'm a huge fan of minimalist and especially very low resolution low color games.
When they are designed and programmed well they just have a unique appeal that is missing from a lot of games.
I've played a lot of the #LOWREZJAM games on Itch.io for this reason. 😃
The resolution is 160x90 which is scaled up 7x7 to 1120X630.
Added some snow fall 1 pixel each - 1 pixel is 7x7 in the actual display.
I then added a little player character and programmed the Idle, Walk, Jump and Fall states.
The movement and jump have a great feel, at least according to me. 😅
It's a start.
Will it turn into a finished game by Christmas Eve?
I don't know. It's possible. Just depends on what all I am doing the next day or so.
It's very satisfying to be getting back into game dev. 😊
