Dithered Out

This was the first game I ever released. I gave myself around two weeks to learn PICO-8 and make whatever came to mind.

I thought to get into PICO-8 due to its limitations and focus on small-scope games. I want to make games, and so far, the limitations of this fantasy console have allowed me to express my creativity while not falling victim to scope creep.

This was a solo project. Every aspect of this game was done by me, without the use of AI.

While the art style is simple, I enjoyed the process of making my vision come to life. It taught me that art doesn't need to be incredibly detailed to be good. As long as you find a style and it works well with the theme of the game, it can work well.

My favorite thing I learned from this project is that there is beauty in simplicity and sometimes small ideas are better than big ones. I have many other small game ideas, and I want to make PICO-8 a fun playground for these ideas to grow.
