I wanted to see what would happen if I put Charlotte in a machine that compressed her digitally back through the -bit systems of the past, this is what happened!
(Cut text I was going to include)
"This is the final report on the 'Digitization Project' which was completed this morning. As of now, subject known as 'Charlotte' is enjoying life as a blissfully ignorant piece of code in a hacked Gameboy. Challenge to bring her back to the corporeal world begins next week, not that she'd notice in this state anyway.
Levels were performed as expected, subject first entered the 'PlayStation' Level (as we dubbed it, being 32-bits) moments into the sequence. She enjoyed 72 hours as a low-poly render in the test game world before Level 2 began.
Losing a dimension seemed to drastically alter the subject, almost immediately halving their dexterity and 'sentience'.
'Charlotte' began spouting pre-programmed phrases around 30 minutes into Level 2, 8-bit existance, mostly about how pressing her buttons made her clean, wanting people to move her around, buy stuff from her... the usual text. Before soon she fully broke down into simple binary code, bleeping in Level 3.
After 2 days in the Digitizer it finally hit the maximum level. Compressing the subject beyond the realms of normality, down into what can only be described as a 'Tetrimino', the building blocks of video game code. Unable to contact with 'it' further, we decided to end the test.
7/10, would play again."

A unique and fascinating transformation! You did rather a good job digitising Charlotte!
Though I must admit, now I can't help but imagine her 32-bit form in the world of Alone In The Dark. Maybe if we ever take her up through generations again, she can stop off for a quick jaunt - at least until I try to mod her into Fallout 4.

Thank you very much! Digitizing has always been a passion of mine, but its always been really difficult to create in an enjoyable way. I think this came out really well, it was great fun turning her into polygons!
I'd love to revisit it and hear your thoughts, maybe Sammy could program her into a few different games, perhaps even corrupt her polygons...

You did a good job polygonising her! If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was a direct 3D model - heck, I'm still not sure. And the sprites are rather excellent, too!
And it would be fun to see what one might do with her in this form. Stick her in GMod and make weird, goofy animations with her, make her into a non-sapient companion NPC or some sort of enemy... the devious mind of Sammy could conjure many an idea, I daresay!

Yep! I suppose that would be the 'Ultimate' but I don't think it would be that appealing to look at ;)
I liked the idea of Tetriminos being the 'atoms' of the digital world, if you regressed a digital character enough, you'd turn them into the building blocks of electronic life!

Love the concept but I think your 8-bit has too many colors, minor nerdy/technical quip I know but the master system could only have 32 colors on screen (and a 64 color palette overall looking like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:.....ts_palette.png
