For a short game, it takes a long time and patience to make. I had to study the C programming stuff, and translate the TI-83 code into C. I really love the graphic chip of the Colecovision and the vast amount of resource out there is enough for me to start coding for it. ICVGM, again, is awesome. I have to draw a lot of graphics for such small 9 by 6 window. I want to see how far I can push the limitation. Furthermore, working with ICVGM and programming in C relaxes me and made me more confident that I am making a game with graphics. There's more variation and control than Wario Ware DYI. Yet both things almost have the same amount of colors, 15. I can make my games much longer than 16 seconds, and have bunch of stockpiled data stuff up to 32KB.

 

As for my game, I think it should be finished in 2-3 weeks. I built all the town graphics. All's left is to tile them in and draw the human sprites. The game is creeping up to 16KB. Hopefully it'll be under...
