Light Brite

Grow a design using lightbulbs.

Inspired by that 90s LITE BRITE toy, where you create pictures by adding bulbs onto a grid, I decided make a digital version that integrated into a simple game.


I wanted to try importing hand-drawn art into a game, so a drew some isometric tiles that would work as the grid and lightbulb. I scanned them, cleaned them up, and imported them into Unity to create the game.

It works similarly to casual farming games - you have to plant bulbs, power them, and they grow to generate light. I was thinking of how power arrays connect, and imagined an array of linked lightbulbs.
