[KM] Another Shot
Thanks to all your suggestions, I made a couple of changes:
* Reduced intensity of all the sprite colors. This should make the flicker far less irritating. Also, I changed up the skin and hair colors of each color. See attached image.
* Changed the walk animation to move about twice as fast
* Added the "death" sprites.
* Changed my bankswitching around a bit to put two subroutines to a bank. Subroutine is chosen by either setting or clearing Carry before banking.
* Lots of optimizations to the first bank of sprite data.
* Tiny AtariAge logo added to splash screen.
I managed to find room for a tiny sound effects handler on one of the 4k banks. I don't know if I like the sound much - it's not capable of very complicated noises - but it might be enough to get the job done. I went ahead and put sounds to a few things, like walking, jumping, and the stomach-punch, so I could test them in action. These are (somewhat) temporary.
Also, thanks to the positive feedback from before, I've decided to post binaries to the blog more often.
ETA:
#1, I have an olive-green player who got the wrong skin tone (and he didn't make the picture, either). He will be fixed.
#2, the lowkick (down+forward+A) causes your character to fall over backwards and probably roll the screen, oops. : )
#3, I would like a binary that lets me adjust the AUDC/F/V on the fly to find sounds, does one exist?
