  1. started working on a text rendering system for my engine, ended up writing a whole 2D canvas layer. anything that is drawn to the associated canvas (visualized on the left) is drawn full screen and palette constrained. and by text i actually mean text not ASCII 😎

          the game will most probably be in english because that is the audience, but this tech makes it at least possible to do stuff like open the game up with a quote from a favorite poem of mine

            resolution is going to be 256x256, blown up 4x to 1024x1024 for modern screens. 256 is a nod to the resolution that star fox ran at which is (i think) 256x224. its also 2x the resolution of THIXELS so it feels really roomy to me.
