Unreal has a lot of advanced rendering features. Let's turn them off!

Make a game with a low-res early 3D aesthetic using this silly template. Who wants HD when you can have Lo-Fi?

Easily Adjust

• Resolution

• Frame Rate

• Aspect Ratio

• Pop-In

• Distance Fog

• Lighting

Extremely Performant.

Some retro graphics packs use expensive post-processes to fake lo-fi graphics, but this template gives you the real thing. 📺

This template actually runs your game at low resolution with very simple rendering.

The frame rate is locked, but if you unlock it you'll likely get hundreds of frames per second.

When I tested on my machine, the fps was CPU-bottlenecked since the GPU had so little work.

Demo Content

There are 3 small sets of demo content

1. Crates have sharp pixelated textures and are the easiest way to see object pop-in and crisp shadows

2. Robo demo content shows a more untextured art style and gives you something to shoot

3. Eskimos are a voxel art style

Demo Content is probably not enough for you to make a whole game, but of course you can use them in your game :)

Built using the Unreal FPS Template, you will notice the default gun and arms among the assets.

I hope this is enough to get you started making your own awesome retro game!
