Have been going on game-dev chats and asking about tools for drawing pixels that aren't square, and getting replies of, "What do you mean, pixels are always square". 😅

The 7:8 height-to-width ratio of my entire oeuvre would like a word.

Seriously! So far the only non-square pixel editor I've found is Glimpse. 🤯

@001zlnv1/14/2024, 4:36 PM

did you blow their mind with crt pixel blending?

Xīn Jīn Mèng @xinjinmeng1/14/2024, 10:00 PM

I'm trying to! All these devs enthusiastically making "retro" filters and effects, for stuff that never existed in video games, like bokeh.

@001zlnv1/15/2024, 12:01 AM

thats... odd. are they trying to do some kind of moving between foreground and back ground mechanic?

Xīn Jīn Mèng @xinjinmeng1/15/2024, 2:07 AM

I think it's more that (1) it was something they could code and (2) "retro" is anything old, so you get "film grain", "VHS scratch lines", "chromatic aberration", "pixelation", and "compression artifacts" all lumped together in one big set. 😅

Have you heard of Trixels?

Oh my stars. 🙂 I grew up on old school wargames, which would insist on hexagons joined like this. The programming logistics are considerable, heaven bless Koei for keeping that flame alive.
