Welcome to the 8 Bits to Infinity Challenge! These small events provide miniature challenges related to games: graphics, audio, or full game prototypes.

8 Bits to Infinity is a game development community hosting regular game jams and challenges to refine our craft. All skill levels welcome! Find out more by joining us on Discord or exploring our website.

Challenge: Create a sprite/backdrop using shades of green in 3 hours or less 

The theme is HOPE

Limit sprites to a maximum of 64x64 pixels and backdrops to a maximum 1280x720 pixels.

The jam is open for six days, but you can use any three-hour period in that time to produce your artwork. When you submit, you'll be asked to include start and end times for when you worked on the art.

You may submit as many pieces as you wish.

Rating

Entries are open to rating by anyone! Please give feedback for and rate the other entries, and share the jam on social media.

The rating criteria are Detail, Creativity, Limitation (green-ness), and Theme.

Everyone who contributed to the winning entry will receive the challenge-winner role on the Discord server.

FAQ

What counts as a shade of green?
Use your own judgment on this. Is there a color in your piece that someone could say isn't green? Then there's a problem.

Do I need to use the theme?
It's not strictly necessary, but we would prefer if you do, and it's 1/4th of your rating.

Where can I ask more questions? 
Ask in the community for this jam (see link at the top of the page) or on Discord.
