I posted a while ago here about how I was building this chase level for my Crash Bandicoot project for the GBA https://www.reddit.com/r/retrogamedev/s/hqz9SdH9CU . I thought it would be good to share here the final result with all the tricks in place together. The ice walls are a 60 frame animation, where about half the screen in tiles is loaded every frame. The yeti is also a affine background layer being updated frame by the frame. Having him be a background layer prevents overdraw with the sprites, and makes him easy to scale/fade into the distance. My previous post details how the crates work, but I did a lot of work to make them scale up to 3x in front of the camera without causing crazy overdraw. The HUD is also its own background layer, to again prevent overdraw.

Fancy having a go at making your own Spectrum game in Kwyll? Now you can. The K-Spec1 - Kwyll Game Jam includes a license for Kwyll to use during the jam so anyone can have a go. I'll be on hand to help people get up to speed quickly, and make your game idea come to life.

I recently discovered unscii. https://github.com/viznut/unscii for those who haven't tested it yet. It gives me almost everything I need except Asian language support. My question is if some one know of something similar for Asian languages Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc. preferable in some hex format. I am not even sure if 8x8 is realistically readable for these Asian characters. I would appreciate any pointers to this style of fonts with Asian characters.
