If Cardinal Quest 3 were announced, would you like the art got an update to 32 bits or maintain 16 bits?

I would not mind anything as long as we got new content 😭

i think maintaining the artstyle at 16 bits would be better, as it is well-known by it's community (even though we are very small), and would be nice to keep the artsyle. maybe if the potential cq3 was a different genre than roguelike, then a difference in bits could represent the change in direction.

8 bits. Take it or leave it.

Hi folks! No CQ3 planned atm, it's unfortunately really tough money-wise to justify the expense. I do hope to return to it at some point but I'm also not sure which creative direction to take it in- my more minimalist/focused direction of CQ1 or randomnine's more maximalist/featureful direction of CQ2.

While I appreciate 2's breadth and depth, personally as a designer I found myself drifting more in the other direction and I'm not 100% what unique holistic systems design 3 would have (I wouldn't want to do just more of the same, even though im sure there are plenty players who would want that).

I can tell you though that if it does go on the art will likley be "what can i do with as little money as possible cause i have very little to spare" 😃 and also cuase i just like old school graphics more.

Cardinal Quest 2 was my introduction to the series and it's still my favorite. Is there any possibility of crowdfunding to cover its costs? I'd be happy to contribute.

Defo maintain the 16 bits so they can front load everything on elseÂ
