This looks really neat! I see lots of crank'ing going on, yea? :smiley:

Looks arcadey in all the good ways - bold and kinetic. I like it!

agreed! We are going to work on it

How do you make the assets and the animations? Do you have a workflow to easily convert them?
Because it looks very cool!

Do you have a YouTube channel I can subscribe to :slight_smile: maybe you could even upload a trailer there when development is over (or nearly)!

Hey Nic, love your prototypes - and porting doom to the playdate - that is extremely wild.

We are doing a mix of things - our art folks are doing some of these by hand in asperite, and some of them through image processing in blender. For example the car, buildings and t-beams and nukecloud in the nuke gif are all from blender with image processing. Then thrown into photoshop to isolate out the layers for parallaxing.

We followed this tutorial for processing 3d in 1bit: Working in One Bit - Mars After Midnight by dukope

For the truly 2d stuff - i guess thats just magic from our artists!

Damn. Can this run on real hardware? I'm looking at the nuclear explosion specifically and thinking "wow."
