I updated the shading in dungeon and town tiles to a dithering pattern instead of a solid black color. It should add some more subtlety to the shading. Especially on a CRT.
I've been a bit quiet but I'm still hard at work on Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX! I recently wrote up a guide on how to make an e-reader game from a NES game. Give it a look!

Lovely followers, today a really early work-in-progress sneek peak of a new ability for my game Anna: The Magic of Words (NES/Famicom). There will be ice but there also will be sun + swimming.

GBDK is an #opensource C development kit for the #GameBoy/Color, #MegaDuck, #SMS, #GameGear and NES

Single-screen layout will remain the default in GBDK-NES. 8bit coordinates provide better compatibility with GBDK games targeting GB/GG/SMS.
It also means less memory / CPU cycles, which can be important to minimize.
But for those who really want to avoid seams, there will now be options.
Has anyone ever thought of remaking the TMNT NES game into something it could have been? Something that isn't crazy difficult. Something that pulls mostly from the black and white Mirage cannon and not seemingly random SciFi elements that make no sense?

Hmm, changing:
for (i = 0; i < DOSE_TYPE_COUNT; ++i)
{
Foe_Dose_Stack[i] = 0;
}
to:
i = DOSE_TYPE_COUNT;
do
{
--i;
Foe_Dose_Stack[i] = 0;
} while (i > 0);
saves 7 bytes of codesize.
Welp, guess I'm doing some code refactoring soon.

GB Studio is an amazing tool for making real Game Boy games.
But what if Big Brother NES wants to play too?
Now there's BB Studio - a hacked version of GB Studio, to run your GBS games on the GB's Big Brother!
NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH WALL POWER.

still haven't found a NES VRAM/PPU viewer on macOS... so to keep track of things I've made the simplest tile allocator possible:
now I can refer to tiles relatively as they are in the asset sheet as TILE_BKG(tile_number).
feeling quite galaxy brain now.

pew pew pew!
