Doing research on old cameras and found this: the first commercial all-digital camera, the Cromemco Cyclops from 1975. 1kb of ram, 32x32 pixels (0.001 megapixels)

Dang, someone on Reddit suggested a way to reduce blur and it's looking much better

Turns out CharacterController3Ds in #Godot have infinite mass, which does not jive well with physics objects in our friendslop family road trip simulator, "Don't Make Me Turn This Car Around".

Oh of course the angle limitation is already built-in, I friggin' love this engine.

Turns out #Godot has a "LookAtModifier" node for getting characters to turn their heads. Neat! Mine still needs some tweaking...

Art style will largely be up to the artist, but I was thinking something low-poly retro, like a PS1 or N64 game with blocky heads with low-rez photos for faces. DM me if you're interested! Tell your friends

You ever notice how EVERYONE knows to pluralize "passerby" to "passersby"? Nobody has ever said "passerbys". Never.
