some sprites and early version of the combat engine was made one month earlier for free rpg. day-may 23 (many of the reused sprites was modified. the whole game originated from a single line in that game and a paragraph in the series outline the link for the free rpg day game is:
https://timespacewarrior.itch.io/temporal-light-lights-adventure-updated
and the password is "Temporal Light2023"
anything after luna overworld was made after the gamejam start date as that was part of an expansion

most of what was used was in the demo above but the next few links are to cover anything I missed

the lore is from this sheet which is done for another game in which characters where brought (game still in development in GMS2 and took more than a year to make): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mrOp_V3Qn2pIORxaA2rzZJ_cEp9Dcw-_/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109753778702296601402&rtpof=true&sd=true

game data from GMS2 data extracted using undertale mod tool (errored on rooms labeled with !GMSCREANGRAB where a manual screengrab was used. The tool is the most common mod tool for GMS1 and 2) game:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YQJbzgddrh3FD7cMovJTl5A2z4UIBfSN/view?usp=sharing

Only one map was taken from the gms2 game and a few characters where also taken
Below is methodology if an object was reused from either GMS2 or from light's adventure
Spritework wise they both follow similar steps
1. Remake the map using tiled(backgrounds only as i used tilesets in GMS2) and export as png
2. Individually replace the pixels with a gb color
2a. Simplify the sprite to get unique tiles down as much as possible
(Anything past this is sprite only)
3. If sprite has multiple colors(ie>4) split the object by color scheme (if necessary) then recombine them in gb studio
4. Break the sprite up if mirrored to save on unique tiles then recombine in gb studio
Sfx was reused but resampled to 8bit pcm
Music conversion practices
1.Convert/recompile to .mid
2.open .mid in openmpt
3. Apply Amiga conversion for .mod(this highlights any out of range)
4. Merge down to 4 channels (a good many songs had to do this step) or removing excess channels
5. Insert template.mod instruments and overwrite the original instruments
6. Manually by ear change any instruments such that it conforms with gb instruments and sound close to the original. (Some distortion did happen)
