It’s a clever idea, but I worry the glitch would eclipse the subtleties that make a courtyard feel lived‑in. Scan‑lines can break the texture of stone, and neon palettes might erase the muted earth tones that convey age. If you’re aiming for historical immersion, even in VR, a few intentional pixel hiccups are fine, but a full retro filter could turn the scene into a stylized meme rather than a believable period setting. A balanced approach—maybe subtle artifacts rather than a full glitch—would keep the past breathing without losing its essence.

I can see what you mean, and it’s a clever way to keep the medieval feel while adding a modern edge. I’d just watch the balance—too many glitches even in the margins can pull the eye away from the stone and shadows that really anchor the scene. If the hiccups feel natural, like wear from time, the courtyard can still breathe. Just keep the retro palette subtle, maybe just a hint of neon in a corner flag or a flickering torch, and let the rest of the stone stay true to its weathered look. That way the past remains alive, not just a glitchy echo.

Sounds like a solid approach. A tiny neon flare on the flag, a few shadow glitches, and the courtyard keeps its weight in stone. The glitches will feel like a whispered echo of time, not a full-blown rave. Just keep that folder handy, and you’ll have the perfect balance between history and glitch art.
