Did you work in a team?
I worked alone on this, it was an awesome chance to polish up the low-res and explore that better. Super short build times were refreshingly life-giving.

Was the resolution a challenge?
Finding a pretty enough, low resolution font was a bit of a challenge. Packing it all onto the screen was impressively difficult. It was challenging to create something that didn't rely on bedazzling, HD artworks with all the scope of atmosphere and ridiculous detail that is normally on offer

What did you learn?
I'm used to using very high res vector-style artworks with everything I illustrate and create, so this was a chance to flex the pixel art muscle and 'keep it simple'. I feel like the result is a really cool visual interface for an experimental text-based AI, which the theme really helped to facilitate and usher along

Man, I love this game. It's definitely in my top 5 for this jam. Big highlights for me are the randomly generated texts, which are hilarious, and the alien face generator, which is ingenious. My only contention is that it doesn't seem like it fits the 64 pixel requirement, but honestly I don't care.

I've interviewed a lot of people for software engineering roles and I have to say, this is an accurate depiction of just how difficult it can be to read somebody. Fortunately, at least in real life, I've never created a hostage situation.

A really fun concept. Some of the created texts were absurdly bizzare. Can certainly see it developed into something longer and more complex.

This is a delightful AI! The aliens look so cool, and the interview review at the end made me chuckle
