    Hey everyone,

    I've created a simple image effect, you can find it here,
    https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/63909

    It's called Pixel Nostalgia, and it let's you simulate older hardware by lowering resolution, customizing color depth, and I even have a high-quality CRT effect in there.

    This started off as practice for me, and I learned a lot about dithering in particular. I can see this effect being used for a mini-game in a larger game, or maybe a secret setting could enable ASCII mode (this includes an ASCII renderer). Just take a look at some of the screenshots, or on my blog where I've written about it while I was creating it: https://davidarppe.wordpress.com/

    I have some presets built in, but it's more fun to mess around. I'd like to know what you think, should I keep working on smaller assets like this one? Or take on bigger projects?

    - David

    Nice work David - it reminds me of the look they are using for Fight Knight.
