I'm sure this is obvious to many, but here's something I'd have told myself a few months ago:
When your game has white-colored text, "FFFFFF" may seem like a sensible, easy hex value for the color white, but it's usually too hard on people's eyes when they have to look at it all the time. Try "DFDFDF" or so for still-white-but-not-super-radiant white.

i guess i 🤷♂️just assumed🤷♂️ everyone did this, and never thought about it.
turns out, maybe it's either easy or i messed up my roll for superpowers at character creation 😸
i wonder if it's related / analogous to recognizing words largely by the shape of their perimeters or being able to recognize fastener sizes, thread pitches, &c at a distance.
A steam curator named "Woke Ccontent Detector" said the following about our game Kitsune Tails:
"Contains overtly pro-LGBT+ messaging. Features multiple lesbian characters, including the player character. Features lesbian romance."
It's great when a person really understands what we're going for and I thought it was a lovely review and wish more people could read it, even if they did not recommend the game! :wink:
It is 2024, and I have written a (basic) application for Digital Research GEM
It was an interesting little adventure. The whole of the operating environment is controlled through a single software interrupt vector, INT 0xEF
. Once I got a document explaining what data needed to be present in which registers when firing the interrupt, it was (sorta) smooth sailing.
Code can be found here. It's 16-bit real mode C, so mind your head!
This would not have been possible without the following sources:
just going to leave this here
