Right. I thought you were referring to the animation complexity.
In the meantime, I started converting the GIF into a GB ROM and found out it’s not as easy as I’d imagined. You have the independently moving scales, which are exactly ten tiles wide. That means that if I want to render those as sprites, the cat has to be background.
Regardless, I’d love to see your imaginary game become a reality!
Yah, that’s just me getting lazy by that point and animating the eye blink across 3 bg characters. If I shifted the whole boss right by a pixel I think I could probably cut that down to 2 individual characters and it would be just about the same.
Man, this convo is nostalgic. My very first job aeons ago was as a GBA artist/engineer. I only did a few quick things before we moved to 3DS games, but now I get to look back on that with more than a bit of nostalgia. Thanks :)
