640×400, 16 colors from a 12-bit color range, Australian winters are a farce. 💪🦊💦

holy shit lollie the attention to detail here is incredible

Thank you!! I was reffing real PC-98 screenshots and wanted to match their quality. NGL I cannot imagine how they managed to maintain this across an entire game lmao

As somebody who periodically dips her toes into these limitations in the context of game dev: through a great deal of pain and suffering I can only imagine

Kewlio: I'll see you guys next time @KewlioMZX8/25/2023, 6:20 AM

That's 16 colours? Damn.

FWIW I'm pretty sure the PC98 could not actually animate a background texture behind sprites.

TBH this was one area that I didn't look closely into, so I'm not really surprised lol. At the very least, it definitely wouldn't have played smoothly - a simple 2-frame animation would've been more realistic, providing it worked at all.

It's winter and I refuse to accept that it's hot so my stupid ass decided to continue wearing a jacket.

Still can't get over how great this is. The little icons in the lower left corner might be my fave detail.

I cross-posted this into a Discord where a friend is playing bad PC-98 VNs, saying it'd probably be preferable to Desire (1994)

Lollie @Lollie12/21/2023, 5:21 AM

Looking this up, I have now been inflicted with a desire to learn how the PC-98 original compares to its Sega Saturn port, or its 2017/19 remake, despite knowing literally nothing about it until this moment

Vikxin @vikxin12/21/2023, 5:48 AM

The Saturn version's added art is a completely different style. The character designs don't match at all. It's terrible.
