textbox render test!

I've mentioned this thing a few times as it's taken an age to get working right, it does pixel-level positioning, proportional fonts, all sorts of stuff.

I'll publish the source to this bit standalone once I've got all the features in and made a good font for it...

tryin to find an style that is a) within my abilities b) not horrendous c) can be smushed into pixels gracefully

Just OOP? I accidentally made a whole dang ECS model in my game, It does load balancing and frame-skips less important objects, but performance is probably going to be a problem at some point.

makes sense to me, curious if it supports the external drive option in that case

(sorry, *pre-tax pricing, they apply it after the advertised price, dumb dumb dumb idea, do not understand why some countries do this shit. )

not defending it, just framing it, the PS5 has really dumb pricing pretty much everywhere, every version went up by £50 here in the UK last year.
First console gen where being an early adopter actually meant saving money? bizarre.

yeah not ideal for everyone else. I did check, it was ¥72,980, now ¥55,000
408€ -> 307€ or 449€ -> 338€ (JP uses post-tax pricing and 10% on electronics)

But it's only the digital only model which isn't that appealing anyway IMO, disk version isn't dropping, I think

Nah it makes sense IMO, I don't fully agree with it existing, but Japans in a rough spot financially, they have less comparative purchasing power than other (1st world) places, these are throwing their home market a bone.

It's as you say, just a cheaper regional variant with a language lock so exporting for cheap it is pointless.
The idea with this and the Switch 2 is to sell these cheaper so they're actually affordable to japanese consumers, the Yen is pretty weak right now.

oh the water surface shouldn't actually look that weird, it's a 60hz odd-even flicker but bsky crunched the video to 30hz so you only see half of the pattern.

Looks uh, a little better at the true framerate, but I'm shopping around for alternative effects to find something more web video friendly.

yep, I'm not a good pixel art guy, but i'm trying my best and figure I can hide that a bit by polishing up the rest of the presentation

When I've got some cash in da bank I'm gonna throw some at you to make my Witch kid like this, I wanna do a pre-rendered gimmick here and there

It's weird the emphasis bit wasn't used more often, it would be cool to have it on horizontal laser beams or flashing patterns without the cost of a full palette update.

Witches float in water because they weigh about the same as a duck (this is how I avoid making underwater areas)

Whatever magic you're using to apply texture to that road, it looks really really good

I had to tile crunch a few of the animation steps because it was overlapping the scroll tables a little and breaking the background. Unfortunately Plane B's scroll comes first, if A was clobbered, it wouldn't have been a problem.

It's also completely ""free"" as far as VRAM goes because i'm clobbering Plane A's tilemap with the graphics.
Does result in a blip of visual noise when unpausing, but I think I can get rid of that.

Frees up some space, I think I'll probably ditch the font too and use an animated bitmap for text.

Normally it would be safe to assume they would leave the original on the quality selector, but Youtube never makes normal decisions so that's a little worrying.
