Thank you for playing! It was a big scope issue and I cut it short too soon to account for game loop stuff. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m moving to tic-80 for more space (sprites and map) and am using the stage mechanic to sort of zoom in from a bigger world, much more like Final Fantasy.
I don’t think an open world RPG is impossible at a low rez. More development to come on that front for sure. Eager to see others try as well.
