All that in one package? This seems too good to be true, The-Imp! Tell me more about this wonderful contraption, how can you afford to sell it at this low price, and how can I get my hands on it!?

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! My hexels™ have TWICE as many edges! 

My heptels go one better.

OH YEAH?! I DON'T THINK S-

DAMN IT ALL, WE WILL GO BANKRUPT!



EDIT: I'M IN LOVE WITH HIS MOUSTACHE! AND WHY AM I TYPING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, I DON'T EVEN USE CAPS LOCK!

We need some circular pixels.

We need some circular pixels. 

I thought about it.

And than I was all like: "I can't make circles tile flawlessly"!

More like "can't make lite-brites without getting arrested"

Oo ... it's awesome!

Now you have to animate it

Hexels are so much cooler than pixels... I wish screens worked with hexels instead

It certainly WOULD look interesting.

Well, the idea of a screen is to make the dots small enough that the shape doesn't matter ...

And pixel art tends to be (currently) decoupled from the way the screen works, since the pixels tend to be so large, so there's nothing really keeping people to squares.  So a game in hexagonal pixels could be done currently.

[Super-Dot]

Less talking more pixels, you guys! I don't care what shape they are suffice that they are elements that make up pictures.

[kyn]

that lamp looks so sad j_j

[Super-Dot]

I didn't think to anthropomorphize it! I thought it was just creepy. Like a streetlight in a dark alleyway, but smaller. But it's more sad than creepy when it's the size of a lamp.

Tip: If working with triangular pixels is too weird at first, try starting with square pixels and converting them, two triangles to a square.



Then refine them so that they're not tilted (or at least tilted differently).

So, who can fund this?
 

[Nitro Crate]

I tilted the triangles a bit.

What does this mean?
