8x8 Font Advent Calendar 2023 Day 14

Odin

A clear font with lovely swashes across the top of each capital letter for additional flair and extravagance.

I found this typeface hidden away in a 2016 PDF titled "ShadowM's GEOS Font Catalog". While intended to be used with a proportional font renderer like other GEOS fonts it fits into an 8x8 container.

So, I've been thinking, if one would want to make a super-cross-platform graphical game targeted at somewhat common platforms, starting from #8bit, what would be the common denominator for the art?

The answer would probably be 160x128x1bpp as a baseline. Small enough to be displayed on #GameBoy, crisp enough for #ZXSpectrum, pretty enough for #GameBoyAdvance.

Original art is CC BY-SA 3.0 by Niabot.

Sunny Day - jefftheworld
Haven't jammed out randomly in ages, so I did this.

Using LSDJ to control all 3 Volcas and then jamming out on a Commodore 64 and Kaoss Pad 3.
