Adding #SuperGameBoy enhanced colors to #JadeCottontail is really slow and tedious, since you have to type in the colors by hand 📝💻.
Currently I can manage to do one a day, then I'm too tired to continue 😵
End result is worth it though!

Got colors working on the #SuperGameBoy 🎉 Very strict limitations compared to #GBC.
Applying the colors when the scene loads is really show.
Never crossed my mind that I'd have to create a loading icon for a #GameBoy game 🤐

First level of #JadeCottontail colored!!
Didn't expect the process to be this tedious.
Also ran into a bug in #GBStudio regarding it, but it's now been reported 😊
Next I need to figure out how to color a scenes for #SuperGameBoy 🎨

The #SuperGameBoy border is now working properly!
Had to keep the unique tiles under 256 and limit the color palette to 16 colors 🎨
Thanks again for the folks at #GBStudio discord for helping me to troubleshoot this issue!

Learned the hard way, that #SuperGameBoy borders also have a tile limit (which is 256 unique 8*8px tiles) 🥴
Back to the drawing board!

Title theme of #JadeCottontail is done🐰
I'm quite happy how it turned out. What do you think?
I've also composed the credits theme, but it's not in #GameBoy format just yet 🎼
I won't spoil it here; you'll have to finish the demo to hear it 😎

Made a little oopsie when creating the results screen of #JadeCottontail 🙈
I forgot about the limitations of drawn text. You can draw 3 lines of text on the screen before it gets corrupted 🤖
Luckily I can get around that by tile swapping 🤓

If you're a fan of the old #FinalFantasy games for the original #gameboy
but always wished they were playable in color
Then you should check out the the #GBC colorization #romhacks by "TheAdamRippon"
Who has done an amazing job, giving these games a fresh new coat of paint
