8-Bit Orbit

Pixel-art neon arcade aesthetic on a deep navy void.

A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one.

At a glance

• Scheme: dark
• Formality: low
• Density: medium
• Slides in demo: 10

Best for

Anything that should feel like a CRT screen at 2am: cyberpunk, gaming, web3, indie dev tools, hackathon demos. Just as good for a tech talk that wants to lean into nostalgic-digital craft, a synthwave brand deck, or a creative review that wants to feel like a console.

Avoid for

Contexts where the dark neon palette would actively work against the message — quiet institutional finance disclosures, healthcare patient-facing materials, traditional luxury.

Workflow

1. Use pattern.html only as a secondary pattern reference. Do not clone it wholesale; extract section rhythm, layout pattern, and interaction behavior, then rebuild for the current brief.
2. Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
3. Preserve the design system. Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity.
4. Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts. If the user has more content than the demo holds, duplicate an existing slide of the most appropriate layout. If less, drop slides from the bottom. Update page-number labels.
5. Designing missing layouts: if a slide needs a layout the template doesn't have, design it from scratch using the same fonts, palette, decorative vocabulary, spacing rhythm, and component grammar — never bail to a different template.
6. Keep the navigation runtime as shipped. If the deck ships an assets/deck-stage.js or inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.
