Not necessarily an extension or addon, but ideas to the Canvas Effects. This'll mostly help for retro-themed games, but I'll add some details about each block in the article below.


color blend x (x value v) y (y value v)

This will blend the on-screen colours by every X or Y position. For instance, if every even horizontal pixel, there was a red colour- and every odd horizontal pixel, there was a yellow colour- simply set the color blend Y to 2 and it will turn into orange. It works by mathematically finding the perfect in-between of the colour. (By the way, colour palettes don't affect colour blend. Think of this as basically your "retro composite mode maker.")

limit color palette (24 bits v)

Now this might be the important retro-themed one. Since most modern computers work with 24-bit colour, this block just, simply, limits the colours used per project. It can't create colours on its own- so instead it just results to any of these values:

  • 3-bit colour (8 colours)

  • 4-bit colour (16 colours)

  • 6-bit colour (64 colours)

  • 9-bit colour (512 colours)

  • 12-bit colour (4096 colours)

  • 15-bit colour (32,768 colours)

  • 18-bit colour (262,144 colours)

  • 24-bit colour (16,777,216 colours)

30-bit colour is also possible, but that's only on newer graphics cards- and most operating systems don't support it yet- so no 30-bit.

Next up

Fully revising 1-1 after finding out 100 tiles is way too small. (I set 100 tiles when I started the game back in July 2024 😭)

New Animations for Mario

missed him?

gonna set up a teaser really soon. some stuff I plan to add in this new version of Clay OS (4.0):

- Document editing

- A file saving/storing system

- The internet

- Text-based AI

Thanks to me using Penguinmod now, this should be a breeze.

Thank you all SO MUCH for one year on Game Jolt!

Can we make it to two?

I don't think I shared this in a while... wait, did I even share it? Anyway, read the article- it's important to the game.

So, I'm making a demoscene on Scratch.

Sorry for delays, again.

Anyway, take an update.

"Mamma's probably scared!"

Super Mario Next Alpha v3 - Some New Progress

I kinda just took screenshots of a few areas of the game, what do you think?

Damn, I haven't released an update in a while.

Let's just say Sonic CD Rewind and overall exhaustion made me work less on Super Mario Next. However, I'm making a new project about it- and so, a new OST song!
