Yep, the crystal animations need to be updated to not use $0D. Are you seeing it elsewhere rainwarrior?

Re: Nebs & Debs
It's constantly covering large parts of the screen and background in that demo. It's the background colour 0.
Also, all the sprite palettes using black in colour 3 are using $1D by the way. (Maybe not a problem on its own, but also unusual.)

Yep, you're right. Thanks for bringing it to attention. I'll have to review my palette generation logic.

It's a "lower than black" voltage signal that confuses some TVs which will interpret as a blanking signal. A lot of TVs will have horziontal hold problems (wobbly picture) or just drop the signal entirely.olddb wrote:what happens with $0d?
Usually OK to use a little bit in sprite outlines or something (e.g. TMNT does this) but the more screen coverage there is the more it's likely to cause a problem.

Yes the E and F columns are fine. No problems with those.
Dullahan I don't know how much traffic you get at https://www.nebsndebs.com/ but you might want to put a link to the kickstarter on it now that it's live? (Also the press page link goes to the Dullahan press page rather than Nebs'n'Debs'.)

Thanks olddb
Rainwarrior, thanks for bringing it up. It's on my todo list. Hopefully I can get to it today.

Re: Nebs & Debs
Thanks Kasumi. I'll have to look into ways to foil autofiring.

Re: Nebs & Debs
Here's some half-baked quick edits to show some possibilities i could think of on top of my head. Hope it isn't too intrusive.
-darker leaves may help separate them a bit more from the brighter ground blocks.
-a bit added shade whenever they're placed to the right of or below a solid block (i did the effect quite sparsely here so it isn't that noticeable)
-alternately, maybe a hard diagonal shade does the trick (shown in just one spot, and not to its fullest potential - this needs to be true for blocks underneath solids too to feel convincing).
-two death saving blocks right below that a)text that it isn't treadable, 2)will save the player and teach the fact practically
-making it look less like a staircase/more like an edge/drop/void could help.

Re: Nebs & Debs
FrankenGraphics, thanks for the feedback and taking the time to demonstrate with a pic. I think one of those solutions will probably end up in the final version of level 1 because there have been a number of players who have commented on that part

Is there any good source online where one can learn concepts like this?
