The World of Low Resolution Based Games
126Games that are deliberately made with a lower native resolution have been going on for quite some time. The most well known scene in this regard would be the LOWREZ Jam community, where the challenge is to make a game in a resolution of 64x64 or less. Of course though, the low resolution method can also be applied to the existing fantasy consoles, or when you make a game inspired by older generations. You can still make something great, but the main barrier is of course, being able to see clearly. Low resolution based games are an exercise of how far you can take ideas in spite of the small render resolution that you have to deal with. Small screens, new ideas.
If you wanna make a retro inspired game and 64x64 is too small for you, then a threshold between 128x128 and 640x448 for rendering is a good place to start.
