I don't really think Archer deserves this snub

To pull the tiles out of the sprite object it's some goofy chain along the lines of spriteName.animations[a]->frame[b].tilemap , you'll figure it out I bet, that stumped me first time as my autofill wasn't understanding the arrays properly.

building up a few event sequences now the scripting is mostly working. The textbox uses a lot of CPU so scrolling around at the same time is a problem.

definitely, it's great polish! I can't speed up mine lol, drawing the text is 100% CPU job.

If you can capture the vram tile address of the portrait sprites, you should be able to manually push frames to them with VDP_loadTileSet, I think, it'll bypass SGDK's sprite engine.

it doesn't look like much but desperately trying to keep my scene, all assets and scripts in the 2MB of memory and maintaining good performance, doing a lot of tricks to show and hide objects in the scene at runtime based on triggers #indiedev #gamedev #playstation #ps1 #psx #psxsplash #unity

Been working on a concerningly robust scripting system for my Megadrive game. A few flickers here and there I need to iron out. The textbox engine is my beloved pride and joy.

The tether/drag prop mechanic in my own game is loosely based on Chaotix, it's surprisingly straightforward, the basics are - figure out distance between A and B, if over length limit, use that as a strain factor and add it to B's movement vector. B does normal collision checks, nothing extra needed

It's totally safe to switch the Megadrive's background plane address mid-frame, testing that out with some hastily scribbled cloud graphics. Combining that with a raster palette swap and some sprite duplication to make a nice water effect. This console is fun to tinker with.

Been bouncing between a few setups, 60hz on an emulator/GameGear, 50hz on a megadrive. Put 50hz/Hardware for some PAL rep. This just reminded me, on Blastem there are a few corrupted sprite tiles, haven't spotted these under any other circumstance.

Today I've been making improvements and fixing palette bugs. Had a problem where an object wouldn't share their slot properly and end up claiming a second, evicting lower priority objects such as this NPC, causing them to draw with the wrong palette data.

Been drilling into how an actual game works today, so level flow, progression stuff, what do where when why. lots to think about. Currently have a save point working on the PC build, tracks stats and what level you're in, autosaving on level entry, the "Retry" button hooks into this properly.
