Re: A85: RPGs
16x16 sprites I don't think would work very well. I'm working on a
grayscale RPG currently and previously to that I was working on Darkness.
I chose 8x8 because they're simple to use and they fit well for the screen
size; 16x16 you'd barely be able to see anything around you.
As for the Expander, I would love to support it in one of my games, but
nobody will release information on how to. I tried looking at expander.asm
but it just confused the hell out of me. I may even use it in the rpg I'm
working on now, if I can figure it out.
