it's very interesting. I have an idea for something I'd like to do that would work great in 1bit. But in a way that feels like the easy route. Not that black and white isn't challenge, but it's very interesting to think about how to best make use of just one more color. If it was four colors, you could just go GameBoy and I suppose even with 3 colors you could do a simple grey scale, but what if you wanted some actual color. Which colors would you use and how would you use them? You've definitely got me thinking so however you came up with this idea, it's working! :)
Adorable! This is a great top down set period. Makes me want to make some kind hybrid Zelda-Golf game!
thanks for sharing!

Hi!
Just FYI, OGA is not exactly zippy in normal times, but there is currently some issue with the site that's making it extremely slow. The admins are working on it.

it seems a bit better this morning. Any word on what the (most recent) issue was and if anything was done to address it?
@Basto: No specific time zone. As long as it's in by the end of the day in your local time zone it's fine.

@Fighter19: The goal of OGA is to provide art that users can download and use without worrying about encountering any copyright, trademark, licensing or other legal issues so long as they follow the terms of the selected OGA-supported license(s).
You are correct, OGA iteslf might be ok to distribute these items but that is not the only question OGA is concerned with. Equally as important to OGA is the question, "Can a user download this work and use it free of concern so long as the obey the terms of the selected license?" In this case the answer is no because the trademark also dictates how the item can be used.
Effectively, the trademark acts as a secondary restriction on the use of the work. It's no different than when submitters put additional conditions on using their works in the notes or attribution fields (eg. 'you can not use this song on YouTube'). These restrictions aren't always caught, but when the are, the mods invariably ask that either the restriction or the work itself be removed.

Spring might've bern asking in reference to the specific 3-color limit.
It is an odd limit for sure. Doesn't correspond to any historical hardware that I can recall.
Because it's there! :)
Awesome! 3 colors is a very interesting choice. Definitely got me intrigued! :)
Is that three colors counting black? or three colors plus black?
so could our palette be Red, Green, Blue and Black. Or is it limite to just two colors and black? so Red, Green, Black, something like that?
By your wording, I'm assuming it's three colors counting black, black being a unique RGB value. But figure it's worth asking to be sure.
is this a game jam or an art contest? if a game jam, is there an itch.io page for it?
