Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
Does the game look this much pixellated? =/ I'm not bothered with graphics that much, but if it's THIS pixellated then it does bother me...

Actually, some of the words cannot be read, i think that is abit extreme.

Not really. I've played a few of the demakes. The low-end graphics are endearing, but it's mostly the concept of taking a slightly or significantly different approach to gameplay.
The demake of Burn the Rope for instance is pretty interesting if you've played the originals.
As for waste of time: this is the internet, most of this is a waste of time. I can't really feel the demakes are any worst than - say - Newgrounds.

At least it seems so if you want to participate on a community-driven competition
Arguing about the time other people "waste" with their projects could also be labeled with "This is waste of time". So I'd suggest to stop it and enjoy the progress of this project
Hey!
Thanks for all the comments!
Don't take this project too seriously though. If you look at the other TIGsource competitions, none of them have ever aspired to being anything else than a fun pass-time for the ones participating!
For us it's all about having fun with a game we love, and for me having fun is never a waste of time, especially not when it's only spanning two weeks!
The low res is due to several reasons. Besides fitting the competition theme, it's sort of a joke played on the whole indie-community of which a majority are pixel-fettishists.
Or you could see it as a parody on the whole Bethesda-4-pixel-chair discussion.
Also, making a higher res clone of Fallout in under two weeks would be pure madness! MADNESS!
However, it turns out making a 160x120 res isometric fallout demake wasn't as easy as we had hoped. Pixels are not to be messed with!
We'll see if we even get this one done on time.
In the end, I'm glad if we made at least one person smile!
If you cut your eyes on the pixels I promise I'll buy you a beer!
Cheers!
PS. All images posted here are enlarged 400%, shrink them with nearest neighbour resampling to see the original res. The actual game will be played in a 640*480 window with the option to make it fullscreen.

The scary thing is, he could just pump it up a bit more and sell it for the non-i phone market. they play even worse crap for just 9.99 a game... Good going by the way! keep it up mate.
