#Gaurodan is out!
The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system.

Context: in #MalditaCastilla there is an oversized version of the Lady of Elche, an Iberian artefact from the 4th century BC.
This weekend a temporary exhibition on history and video games opened at the Museum of Archaeology and History of Elche and there is a reference to the game ♥

More Megadrive Scaling madness !!
Convert scaler to a line scaler rather than column, allows for per line expansion / contraction eg more like mode 7.
Speed up the code & have about 50% cpu free running the scaling (cpu calculated) + sprites + audio etc.
The target for this is ingame effects !!

Some time ago I was studying the optimal order to draw the sprites without hiding important elements for the action, and then I realized that many games draw the effects between the characters and the background.
It looks pretty weird in these situations, but in motion it makes perfect sense.

Used my holiday break to redo the hero sprite and add more animations like enter/exit doors and directional shooting poses. Also added muzzle flash. All need refining.
Only the stand pose has been cleaned up from the render and I need to redraw the cape animations 😵💫

Some games let you define buttons like:
Action → assign button for it
And others go like:
Button → assign action for it
I can see use cases for both: having two actions on the same button or having alternative buttons for the same action. But I guess the best choice depends on the game?
