So my PC is f*cked. Apparently Bedrock sold me a pigs ear in a silk purse. Fingers crossed i can get all my stuff from the hardrives 😢. So many unfinished projects and other stuff i need. Sigh.

Ive done as much as i can. Slightly better graphics ( very slightly) but its still the same under the hood. Enjoyed tinkering with it.

Been a good experience looking into this. Found some neat tricks by Jon Steele for future reference.

Will definitely be diving into more games. HUDS have been a nightmare with glitches/timing. So might look at a few of those

Disassembling Oceans Hunchback to see how it did the Ropes….nicely worked sprites. Whilst doing that i drew some new chars and used an Old Sprite id shared for a project a few years back. Might tart the old classic up.

Took me ages to complete this. From basic, to pico8 to assembly. Lots of tearing my hair out (i know🤣), lots of help from so many kind people. I even did a Noir version 😳. Some good ideas and some poor ideas. Great times throughout many months. 🍷
