Began working on the second zone's graphics. Started with water 🌊

Experimented if I could fake shaking text in #GBStudio by swapping fonts rapidly.
Got it working but it's prone to glitching, so I ended up ditching it.
Was worth a shot!

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 🤐

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 🤓

Been enjoying the game on my 32:9 monitor. Thanks!

Created a short and quirky music track for the options menu of #JadeCottontail 🎹
Still missing the main menu- and credits tracks 🎼

Traditional credits rolls are boring 😴
Credits in #JadeCottontail however are interactive! Let's have some fun!! 🐰
..still need to make it pretty ✨

Intro of #JadeCottontail done! [SOUND ON!] It was really fun to create the music and sound effects for this 🎹.
Also remade the portal graphics 🎨

Graphics for intro cutscene of #JadeCottontail done*! Not happy how the portal turned out, so I need to redraw that at some point.
Now I'll get to work on music and sfx!

Groundwork for multi-language support to #JadeCottontail done!
Considered a spinning globe as the menu icon, but went with talking Jade instead 🐰
