alt Hacker NewsIs this a new style or is he trying to emulate something retro? (If it is the latter case, what was the convention at the time?)

This is tech for a modern game (Return of the Obra Dinn) imitating the retro look of old hi-res monochrome games, e.g. for the Mac.
If you haven't played Obra Dinn, you owe it to yourself to play it. The look is retro (sort of, it's actually very smooth) but the gameplay is definitely "modern indie".
I think it’s trying to emulate something retro, but make it work for a modern game?
Like 1-bit games were normal back in the day, but those games were mostly still images or something. And it’s an entirely different set of problems to try and make a fully 3D game with only 1 bit color.
