I think you pulled of the gta vibe extremely well and the other cars moving around the city was super neat.

Did you work in a team?
I worked solo
Was the resolution a challenge?
At first the resolution was no challenge. Working with Unity and using Render Textures, it was quiet easy to setup. As I started to let Sprites receive shadows, I ran into problems as there is no standard Lit material for Sprites in Unity. Thus I had to create a shader, but then had problems with pixel bleeding in the tilemap. I tried to circumvent this in the shader and spent like a full day trying to fix this. Eventually, I just added padding to my tileset, so the pixel bleed was not visible.
What did you learn?
I entered the Jam, because the technical limitation is a really nice challenge. I was astonished how few stuff you can display with 64x64 pixels, on the other hand, I also was astonished of how much you can actually display and what is still readable.
On the tech side, I learned how to create pixelated games in Unity and how easy that is, except for all the hazzle around pixel-perfect stuff.
Also I learned, that I can't really mange Jams that are longer than a weekend. Somehow I need the small time frame to scope right and to continuously work on the game. Maybe next time, I limit myself to one weekend during that long time frame.
