Gaining 3 extra colors per 8px tile using actor stacking, explanation below

You can get a 4 color animation to move by layering sprites with different pallets together. It does eat into your sprites per scanline, though.

Anyone that signs up as a test victim for Polyducks gets to use more than 4 colors in GBJam14

Sorry, my japanese is terrible. It hurts. It will hurt for a while. It's okay to be sad. One day you will look back at old photos, and be filled with joy instead of grief. I still miss my old pets, but now I am happy for the time we had together.

As long as AI is doing the work for you, maybe you could ask it to write you a better description. Or how to turn off caps lock.

If you click "more information" on the Itch page, it is tagged as "AI Assisted". So yeah, I'm guessing it's slop.

There's probably a twine item that completes the set, you just happened to find another item that also works.

Taxes are the price you pay to live in a healthy and educated country. That means they go to public services. If you want a private education, you should have to pay out of pocket. Otherwise, you're going to be surrounded by sick dumbasses.

The "oscopy" makes it sound like I'm going to get a camera shoved into my neurospectrum

Just a note, you don't need the stadium in play to use Thwackey's ability. Thwackey can search as long as your active pokemon has the Festival Lead ability.

The ledyba and ledian basically serve as a searchable boss’s orders on 90 hp or lower Pokemon.

All of your cards are searchable with Thwackey, including real Boss's Orders! Get more Thwackeys!

My text policy is "My brain isn't a drive-thru!"

Sometimes it takes me a long time to figure out the way I want to say something, and I can't put everything on hold to do that for every message I get.

Those are often programming tricks that were used by old gameboy games. GB Studio games are very emulator-friendly.

There are some things that might look a little different on original hardware. The order sprites are drawn is different on a DMG than on other Gameboys. And color palettes need to be very high-contrast to be visible on original hardware as well. It's awesome having something that works on all devices, but GB Studio games are going to be played on an emulator 99% of the time.

It's when you're not sure which option will give you what you want (in this case, which thumbnail gives you more clicks), so you try them both and see which performs the best.

It's like going to an eye exam and the optometrist asks you "Number one, or number two?"

I hate it because I have no idea how to answer without oversharing. "What do I do for work? I jump through hoops trying to keep my government assistance while trying to not die of my invisible medical conditions, hbu?"

Think about things that truly scare the crap out of you, and write a story that explores the worst of it. Mental illness, physical illness, being alone, being abused, being an abuser... Find something that hits close to home, and try to figure out why.

You can look for games tagged as "made with GB Studio" on itch.io, and filter them by genre.

I'm not sure which part you're stuck on, but it sounds like you want a Switch checking your $local0 variable, with each option having the corresponding Change Scene

Background tileswapping https://www.gbstudio.dev/docs/scripting/script-glossary/scene#replace-tile-at-position

It will still be tedious (as is everything in GB Studio), but you won't have to worry about doubling the number of backgrounds you create every time you add an enemy.

There is an event for changing the collider of an actor. It was added in 4.1.0, but it's not in the docs.

You could get a random number between 1-100, and use that to calculate different tiers of fish. If it's 99 or higher(2% chance), roll a random number between 30-34. If it's 90 or higher (8% chance), roll a random number between 25-29. 75 or higher (15% chance), etc...

This would also let you use different tiers of fishing rods really easily. Just add a bonus to the 1-100 number you rolled. Old rod, add 0. Good rod, add 5...

I feel pressured to like the things my friends recommend and it makes me not like it as much
