Game dev rekindling the excitement of only having 3 registers. Also loves synths and my R33 GTR !!

Currently working on FirstShot for the Mega65
The remaining 2 palettes were reserved for items and ui/font so the #mega65 version has 8 times as many colors with greater color depth compared to the #amiga version.

Not bad for an 8bit machine!!

On the #mega65 you can mix full color mode (256 colors) and nibble color mode (16 colors with 16 palettes) on the same screen. @henning_art converted the graphics so walls and floors use 128 colors, enemies and the player get 16 colors each.

Porting Roguecraft DX to the #mega65 was a dream but the first question was, how do we make it fit?!?

The Amiga version uses 32 colors for the whole screen but the MEGA65 can use 256 in the main palette, seems easy.

Leaning back into working on FirstShot, they always say the last 10% of a game is the hardest! Decided on each enemy will have two variants, starting with the basic ship.
