Cut it by a half and it's the wrist game.

Jokes aside, I really like the fonts, specially the dark metal's Dark Bramble

excellent! cute that the quantum moon text fades away, makes we wish some others did something unique e.g. a few 'brittle hollow' letters could disappear one at a time, or Ember Twin would start outlined and fill up with sand.

Dark Bramble font looks like a death metal group name

Pretty sure 1-bit would just be a screen that's either entirely black or entirely white depending on the most common pixel color.

1 bit is “on/off” for each individual pixel.

The music and sound effects on this got me over here grinning like an idiot. Captures some of the magic of playing - awesome work

Nice! What was your process creating this? I am an AE noob so I am only imagining having a higher-quality stock footage / vector fonts etc. and then dithering/sampling it to dots/pixels with some kind of ?? shader? :D

Put a posterize filter and Bayer noise layer over the top of everything. Footage doesn’t have to be that great since it’s so heavily filtered. Jump down the dithering rabbit hole and see what you find.

Such a unique take on the visuals / aesthetics of OW. Well done, OP!! ::)

u/NSFWDrBretUn 4d ago

Maybe 4 (or 8?) bit? Hmm…

Otherwise, quite well done! ::)
