fix the sprites

(originally published on itch)

made for Go Godot Jam 4 (2023)

you are given overdetailed pixel art (it's very hard to see what it represents), so you have to fix it by removing all details that don't help with understanding the objects that the sprites want to show.

tools used

• game made in Godot v4.0.2.stable.official [7a0977ce2]

• Pixelorama pixel art editor

• pixel font converter

compatibility

this game works only on Desktop, because the game is finished by saving the picture into the user:// folder with the [save] button.

after saving, the user:// folder opens and you can copy the results.png picture in the Itch comments — but the user:// folder is not available on Web and not openable on Mobile, and adding a file save dialog would be too much scope creep.

proprietary software license

i wanted to open-source-license the game after the jam — not during the jam, so i could focus on finishing the game before the jam ends — but now the code is so messy that

• it is way too hard to modify the game

• looking at the code is useless for learning how the game works

with the proprietary license, the source download is only useful for 2 things:

• proof that this game is made in Godot, to avoid disqualifying from the Go Godot Jam

• exporting the game for your own personal use (may not go well for non-Desktop platforms)

if i get enough voices asking for it, i will remake the game in an open-source version with much cleaner code.
