I would love to see this revisited in 16bits to really demonstrate just how big a leap that was back in the day

I love that the X16 is actually finding good use in the niche it's been designed for. Beautiful to see such projects succeed.

The fact that it's not just 8-bit art, but 8-bit programming as well, is mind-boggling to me. I'm really curious to see how different layers are handled.

Listening with headphones I can't fully concentrate with the music in one side (I like the music, its a vibe) and voice over in both. But besides that, this is fascinating honestly

Like all the others, a great video! I had a good chuckle with the one line though. "One of the best things about being a programmer is being able to make your own tools to do the things you need to do". Also one of the worst things about being a programmer is having to make all the tools before you can ever get around to the thing you need to do. The duality of being a programmer 🤣

Dude, yes! This is going to be fantastic! I love the aesthetic of the 2.5D look as well. I'm eager to see this thing finished. I appreciate how you showed the direction you were taking and how you had to pivot due to unforeseen problems — something that I think is often omitted from most dev logs, which typically only showcase the end result. I also value the detail you provided while visually presenting it. Overall, great video, and I'm excited for part two!

Insane, the resulting style is honestly really appealing too, the tiny sprite size is adorable.

Like someone else said, I think you should assign a button to rotate the view by 90° so you can see the blocks behind other blocks. If you find it useful, you can add an arrow that shows how the view is rotated, an arrow that points NE, NW, SW, SE based on the way the camera is currently oriented.

The best type of youtube video is one that can interest someone that knows nothing about the subject and explain it to them through good writing and editing, while also being entertaining. This video is excellent you have earned my sub

It’s gorgeous, it genuinely looks like the beginnings of something really cool

This looks insane! I really like what you were able to do with bitmap mode. Good job!

This is actually so cool, nowadays we take for granted how powerful our machines are

I saw a video by a guy who made minecraft for calculator, he did isometric projection, but instead of using bitmap approach, he came up with a way to do tiling for isometric projection too, basically when you look at a block in isometric projection, you can split it into 3 sides, then if you split each of the sides into 2 tiles, you get 6 tiles per one block, yes the tiles have to be triangular and you have to make 6 per one block in the game, but it would definitely let you increase the texture size of your blocks, here's the link to the video of that guy if you wanna see how he made it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj9CiMO66xk&ab_channel=TheScienceElf It came out yesteday so you might've already seen it idk

Really creative and interesting video! Can't wait to see more! Only thing I'd recommend is lowering your music sound, or boosting your voice volume, the music overpowered you a little during some parts of the video.

I absolutely wanna see this project go further and I would wonder how mining might possibly work.

Man, you're one of the most underrated Youtubers on this platform. I love your content, and your programming skills are amazing... I wish you the best.

this is why i love this channel, its not unity "8-bit style", its actual 8-bit keep up the amazing work!!!

That is so cool! This is giving me a HUGE reminder of Paper Minecraft back when I was on Scratch. I will 100% be following this project, because this is the coolest CX16 project I'm seeing so far.

I love the look you managed to achieve. And the isometric view really suits what you have made.
