How do yall make it so the game looks big when you actually play it? If I make a projecrt 64 by 64 it's gonna be insanely tiny and you wont see anything! How do yall even do this? Plus I only know how to use rpg maker and maybe a little bit of scratch... I have a perfect idea for a game but I just have no idea how to make it 64 by 64 and not look tiny
Well, I have a guide for Unity: https://itch.io/t/3887341/guide-setting-up-unity-for-lowrezjam (use the Gist link included for better formatting)
As for design though, that’s the whole challenge! Trying to make a game that looks good in a tiny resolution.
64 x 64 is tiny. look through past game submissions.
i found a plugin for pixel-perfect scaling for RPG Maker. i think you will just have to set your game resolution to 64x64 and it should take care of the rest probably. i have no idea how to change the game resolution since i have never used RPG Maker.
btw, i searched google for “low resolution with rpg maker” and checked out some of the results until i found a reddit post that mentioned that plugin. you can often find answers on your own by doing this first!
One example for Defold helped me with this. https://github.com/britzl/lowrezadventure
Here, a 64x64 view is set up that can stretch freely while maintaining pixel-perfect movement. In a nutshell, this is achieved by projecting only the 64x64 area from the game and then rendering it on a larger viewport. By looking at the implementation of render pipeline, it may be possible to do something similar in other game engines or find similar ready-made examples.
