Welcome to the Pixel Art Decades Jam! Each player/team is invited to create a thread to post ideas and progress. The only rule of the jam is that the game is free. Any genre and style of game is cool. Participants are encouraged to share resources.

For example, I create f.m. synthesized music with these two free programs: "Tracktion 5" https://www.tracktion.com/products/t5-daw and an awesome free f.m. synth "OXE" http://www.oxesoft.com/ A couple limited color pallets I use are Dawnbringer 16 and 32 http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=9306.... A great place to study classic pixel art is Spriters Resource https://www.spriters-resource.com/ Ive been known to download a Mega Man or Shinobi character sprite sheet to use in my platform prototyping :) GIPHY https://giphy.com/create/gifmaker makes videos into GIFs that work on itch.com.
