1-Bit Graphics

Source: https://dukope.itch.io/

One of the things that makes the PlayDate mentioned above so interesting, is the graphics mode. Just 1 bit per pixel. Either black or white. As many restrictions also this one pushes the limits of creativity. And it is astounding, what cool gfx people design even under these circumstances.

Author and creator Lucas Pope digs down into that rabbit hole, creates a 3D scene in Blender, converts it to 2D and manually applies kind of a dithering to end up in a great finale. 🎯

A super interesting read not only for proud PlayDate owners.

Take some time and explore.
