Tip for level designers: Get one of these, go to a cafe, and relax. Many of my best level design ideas existed on paper first. Tip for notepad manufacturers: Many level designers would be excited about hexagon patterns instead of square grids.

Wolfenstein meets Metroidvania in Wolfhound, an 8-bit ode to yesteryear with zombies and Nazi mechs
Wolfhound feels like Wolfenstein mixed with Metroid, with a sheen reminiscent of the Sega Master System or TurboGrafx-16.

1080p test

Bit Kid @bitkidgames.com · 25/05/2026
So the crop helped towards target aspect ratio a bit and didn't need to go to 20px. But I think it might look more even for slopes.
010
Bit Kid @bitkidgames.com · 25/05/2026
Oh! I think I remember why! Basically I was trying to 5x scale to 1080p at end, but with 16px tiles there is no even division on the vertical side. Going with 14 tiles x16px = 224px. When upscaled 5x some of the top and bottom is getting cut off and naturally increasing aspect ratio wider.

Bit Kid @bitkidgames.com · 25/05/2026
I honestly don't remember haha. I had come up with that months ago and came back to it later. But I was thinking the same since I replied :D

I'm playing around with wide tiles (19x16) to more closely simulate the 5:4 aspect ratio games would have been given when drawn to a CRT. Actually feels pretty good when upscaled, takes up more screen real estate without extending the playfield.
