EvoMikeUK Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Thomas Jentzsch said: 64K sounds huge. Have you though about compression? I am trying to make a Nes-Era Final Fantasy style RPG with rich unique full-colour environments on every screen (no 2 world map screens being the same where possible).... as well as a host of features like saving, towns, dialog, cutscenes, menus, inns, shops, music... etc... 64kb using bBasic is not going very far at all, however I think the 3rd engine revision might just about pull it off. I'm at well over 256 screens so far. How would one compress? I might release the engine after the games release as open source so that this game style can finally take off on the 2600.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 First I would analyze what requires most data and then I would look for repeated stuff. E.g. the cave screens share a lot of similarities. Also you could compose screens from smaller blocks. E.g. left and right halves, or quarters, vertical or horizontal stripes or whatever fits best.
