Lu8 Splash

Hello!

My name is Luis. Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by how video games work. That curiosity—digging through game files, trying to understand how everything fit together—was the spark that ignited my journey into programming.

Over the years, I've challenged myself to build all sorts of things—tools, apps, games—projects that solve problems or evoke emotions, sometimes both. I've always been driven by the idea of creating something meaningful, something that feels like art in my own way.

After years of developing all kinds of software, I felt the pull to return to where it all began: game development. I had already built a few games, but I wanted to go deeper—so I gave myself a new challenge: to create my own retro mini console.

It's a system that simulates hardware that never actually existed, but lives in the spirit of 8-bit consoles. A contained ecosystem, with clear limits and endless room for creativity. A space where I can build games with that nostalgic arcade feel that has always inspired me.

Of course, I know there are other mini consoles out there—some of them are absolutely brilliant, and they've inspired me in many ways. But I felt the need to build something of my own. Something from scratch. A platform I could shape entirely with my vision, and grow over time into something truly unique.

This is just the beginning of the journey. I don't know exactly where it will lead, but I'm committed to seeing it through. If you're curious, you can follow the evolution of this project right here.

Thanks for stopping by—and if you're building something too, keep going. The process itself is the reward.
