Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.
That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.
The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.
The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.
It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.
If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.
I've managed to get color clash working without having to futz with shaders, but it only works with 8x8 sprites right now. Instead of having the color on the sprites, I made the sprites transparent and put the color on a layer behind them. Then I had the player (and in theory, it would work with any object that can move) manipulate colored tiles on another layer (above the sprite color layer but below the sprites) using modulo so that they snap. (gif down below)
That was a really good idea and it really looks the part in implementation! Really you want to be keeping your sprites to 8x8 (or a multiplication of that) anyway for authenticity's sake, so this seems like a great solution to it without diving into shaders.
thank you! Btw, I didn't mean it only works on 8x8 sprites or multiples of 8x8. At the moment, it only works with configurations of one single 8x8 sprite. Larger configurations of 8x8 sprites (like the player in your project) have larger minimum and maximum numbers of tiles they could intersect with, requiring more calculations and more tiles to be spawned on the color layer. I haven't figured out a way to automate that, so I have to calculate and manually edit each object that would have to cause clash.

Nicely done!
