A great look for a game which does not exist
A digital artist has created a stylish mockup of a roguelike (maybe even a Roguelike) which looks like printed screenshots in a magazine. It’s a pretty little thing, though I should stress it is only a mockup to demonstrate a shader, not an actual game. But still, come, watch.

That’s neat. It isn’t a game. It really isn’t a game, and it doesn’t seem it ever will be, but it’s neat to look at and that’s good enough.
It’s the work of Mrmo Tarius, created to demonstrate their fancy newhalftone shader for Blender, which gives computer graphics the effect of being printed using the halftone process (which uses patterns of dots to trick the eye). Ina Twitter thread, they explained more about the process and shared more images. But it really isn’t a game. The starting point was made inlvllvl, a browser-based tool for creating pictures using character sets.

So if a game can recreate that experience, combined with the torchlight of me trying to read in bed without getting busted, that would be grand. Thanks in advance! Your pal, Alice.
