Many indie developers choose to use retro or low-fi graphics in their games for style, ease of development and nostalgia. Join me in this talk to learn how I have combined low-resolution dithered 3D graphics with modern rendering techniques to come up with colorful, crispy visuals for Reconfigure, an upcoming sci-fi FPS-puzzle-adventure.

I will cover how I iteratively developed a unique visual style that combines modern possibilities with retro restrictions. How I deal with problems and limitations - and how I squeeze every drop of juice out of those limitations. And how I use tools that are precision machined to work within the chosen fidelity to enable rapid development of beautiful looking content.

Come and see how a handful of pixels can be greater than the sum of its parts!
