Hello World,
as it is just a bunch of pixel-scribbles, I thought I would post this here
My all-time favorite is the SNES game
"The Secret of Mana". For it's time it had magnificent graphics, revolutionary 3-player game-play and the ring menu system.
After rescaling a Screenshot of the game to 84x48 it quickly became clear this was insane, especially without gray-scale... On the other hand "AntAttack 3D" showed that even with black-and-white graphic and low resolution a lot is possible. Also there is a Zelda-Demake in Atari style, with 1 Pixel sprite
Still, 11x6 or so would allow little detail. But that's part of the challenge, isn't it?
I only recently saw in the Wiki that gray is possible, even though I have read on another forum that it does not work well previously. So I just started playing around with the idea of making use of it, as it'll make the backgrounds more subtle and allows more details for the sprites.
TL;DR:
The Demake of ManaClick on the image to view fully and avoid ugly rescaling.

At this size a single pixel can make the difference
Has anyone attempted to make a jRPG such as a Zelda-Fangame with similar sprite size? i saw there is a Pokemon-Game in the works, though the sprites would be to big for my idea.
I do not have a Gamebuino yet, as I just ordered an "ICWatch" and have to tinker with that one first before buying anything else
As I am a fan of the Nintendo/Nelsonic game watches (NOT the "Game&Watch") and might make my own variant just for this game.

I have no 3D Model yet, but I will print the case. I am not sure if I will use a own PCB or try to fit an Arduino Mini into it.
