spriting is fun why didn't anyone tell me

You just haven't gotten to the pain yet

It instinctively bothers me that the pixels on the face are like three times as big as the menu pixels but alas

It looks good anyways. Very dignified sort. Reminds me a bit of Integra Hellsing.

Event Event stuff.

Making things night-mode with the NES palette transports you to the PURPLE ZONE and I'm here for it

I like the subtle FF6 shout out in the battle background.

Somehow this is the first time I've realized the heroes names spell out H-E-R-O.

RMN's Event Event

I planned out some stuff before the start, then immediately threw it out at the start and went in another direction.

Doing this like a true RM dev.

Skills of an artist (Titlescreen)

The title screen is probably one of the least important parts of the thing overall, so I wouldn't worry about it if you need to just use it temporarily and come back to it with a different perspective later.

2023 Gaming Diary

Started playing Metroid Prime after getting wasted on St. Patrick's day and finished it off 100% today. Will probably play Echoes as well since I'm in a Gamecube mood.

Started Pillars of Eternity again as well. No idea if I'm planning to finish, just giving it another shot since I'm still not used to single player CRPGs. Decided to skip Ultima 2 and 3 after slogging through 1 and re-watching Spoony's retrospective. 4 is where the Avatar stuff starts anyways and 4 and 5 are supposedly the best of the bunch, so I figure I'll check those out.

Other than that, started Pokemon: Fool's Gold after my BF messaged me about it.

Guess the RPG from Only 3 Tiles

13 out of 30. Oof.

Canonical Respawns

Nobody has mentioned it but I believe one of the Battlefield games had you respawn as a brand new soldier every time you died, to reinforce the "meat grinder" nature of war and how many people die in it.

I always thought that was an extremely good way to handle respawns and make the game more poignant.

RMN's Event Event

I thought nothing was gonna stand out to me, but an excuse to practise NES palettes is a welcome challenge.
