Hello everyone!
I've read a few times already that "a DX version is not needed because the SGB already had color". Here it goes why they are wrong. 😎
We can colorize cutscenes at last!
With the most recent progress, cutscenes will be colorizable at last. And they will be much easier than they were going to be before the refactor. I'm glad, because cutscenes were one of my biggest fears with this hack.
As you can see, they can be improved a lot from the original SGB colors, which were quite limited. This one was done by Kensu.
This will take some time, since there is a total of 24 cutscenes. Fortunately, they are much easier to colorize than the ones in Mega Man World games.
I'm bringing some more little news: I can confirm DK tie will be red!Last year, I decided not to mess with it due to the sprite limit and, oh well, the difficulty. But the difficulty barrier is gone now thanks to the refactor!However, I cannot promise yet if the colored tie will appear during boss battles. Need to decide (I'm afraid it will add a lot of flickering).
Notable recent milestones from last month:
Cutscenes are colorizable
Mario shoes are looking red
Jungle stage is completed
Desert stage is almost completed
Work on Airship stage has started
Retro Mario animations (stage 0) are all done
More and more refactor!
Can't promise yet, but I hope to make another post this month!
Thank you all for your support and patience. I am as much as happy as you to see this is doing huge progress at last!
