People outside the games industry don't grasp that this is absolutely unheard of. Workers don't get royalties, and we definitely don't get performance bonuses. When we make a hit game we sometimes just get laid off

Can I get paid just to make debug views instead of actual games and apps

my thought process while making the pixelvision8 palette ( lospec.com/palette-list...) - no pure black/ white, for extra character - colors that can produce loong color ramps e.g. white-yellow-orange-red-purple-black - at least one definite 4 color grayscale (gameboy) ramp
