Our latest collab Planet ISO is finally complete. Gawrone has become the all time record breaker with an incredible number of 19 tiles in total!!
The new palette compo for our next ISO collab -which is medieval themed- has already begun, be sure to participate!
You can drop the name suggestions for the medieval collab here. The only rule is that it has to have ISO within the name just like our previous collabs - ISOtopes, PrehISOria and such.
This week, we want you to imagine & pixel the Commodore 64 demake of an existing game that wasn't actually released for Commodore 64. You can add/remove/change any features of the game as you want. You do not need to stick with one of the C64 graphic modes, however:

Canvas Size - Exactly 320x200 px, horizontal.
Colours - Max. 16 use the C64 palette:
Transparency - No.

The winning palette will be used in PJs next ISOcollab and for the first time, we are revealing the theme beforehand: MEDIEVAL. Other award winning palettes may also be used in other events and challenges.
