Love this!

...How much of the 16MB ram are you using to store all the sprites you might need for the current fight? 😆 That's gotta be a decent amount of memory to keep things looking soooo fluid!!

Testing if this is any better with a static cam & preconverted gif

dang! 30 fps with floors & ceilings AND lighting too?? was that on the hardware, not simulator?? and at full resolution?

if so damn! do you have any screenshots / videos of it? 👀

Yeah, doing that and a few other tricks, the wall rendering is super fast!
I've not found a nice way to get the floor / ceiling rendering anywhere near as fast though, since the memory reads there aren't very cache friendly :(

wow the bluesky compression really didn't like the heavy noise on this one huh?

playdate has a black & white screen so I make heavy use of blue noise for dithering to get a greyscale feel 😅

Thanks for the kind words! Glad the level transitions & polish stands out 🤩 We put a lot of work into them!

Funny story: Journey had no automatic shadows. I painted them all by hand. The shadow texture was not hi-res. To get the iconic sunset columns to cast sharp shadows, I made sure that they aligned with the pixel grid of the texture. Here you can see the shadow map I painted.

Ah, this one! skyfollowerbridge.com (chrome/firefox extension links there)
Takes a bit of manual effort to skim through the results so probably not great when you're following a huge amount of people! (It gets a decent amount wrong but it's pretty obvious when it's right)

Went through the twitter > Bluesky Bridge extension today and there's a LOT more people than when I last tried! Hopefully people will actually start posting mainly here now 😅
