Description Kap's 32 bit being brought down to 16 bit then 8 bit.

The more damage Kap takes the lower the resolution in the game goes. This affects all the art and even the music.

I love the concept of this. The art on the 32 bit is pretty awesome (I'm a nerd for good sprite art)

Glad you're still working on it! Must take forever, though, to have to redo all sprites and music and backgrounds for each resolution.

Not yet!

From what I know, though, is that it's going to be a freeware game for the PC <3

You asked if Downgrade is a game that can actually be played, and I said not yet. Because it's still in development c:

It's going to be for the computer.

Freeware means you don't have to pay for it.

That's a really fascinating concept! I enjoy the graphics as well as the idea of switching between bit count. <3<3

SmaggTheSmug [2011-07-13 21:00:20 +0000 UTC]

Another interesting idea would be if the game glitched out with damage, but I think it's been done in some way.
(there was something called Glitch Hiker I think)

Anyway, I like it very much, though when it comes to visuals, the resolution shouldn't be the only thing that gets worse; 8-bit games had much more limited color palettes and colors per sprite number.

Really cool concept, I love it.
So the project is still on?
I started following all of you guys because I was interested in it, but then it just kinda.. cooled down or something.
Glad to hear you're still working on it

Yeah cooled down alot for a while there. We're coming back though.

LillyTheCat1 In reply to ??? [2011-07-13 18:31:01 +0000 UTC]

That would be fun-playing game.And the Blue Screen Of Death after dying fits that.
And the title for this game fits so much also.

NoneOfUrBiz In reply to ??? [2011-07-13 17:30:52 +0000 UTC]

That's a great idea. I had an idea from a game where the character became more detailed as they got stronger. GB style greyscale 2D all the way to hi-def 3D.

RoseMcClain In reply to NoneOfUrBiz [2011-07-13 23:47:53 +0000 UTC]

There's a game called REZ that has roughly the same concept, only from wireframe to full render.

hyperboy [2011-07-13 16:58:50 +0000 UTC]

I'm prone to liking the 8 bit. I love indie games where the character is like 6 pixels. But all of these looks sweeeeeet.

The blue screen is a nice touch. TEXT-BASED ADVENTURE GO! *GO RIGHT, GO RIGHT, LOOK AROUND, CHECK POCKETS*
