SDCC = small device C compiler, which is a pretty decent C compiler

It compiles to Z80, meaning no B_CALLS? Isn't that a bit hard? Also how do you convert the binary files it creates to 8XP?

Well, I decided to stop using SDCC and just use assembly from scratch now, it wont build with multiple pages correctly

But, now even with just pure z80 assembly, I wont be using that many BCALLs anyways, not even the text ones just maybe appvar ones.

This started as an Axe Project, then ASM, then C, now back to ASM. Ashbad, I think you should think about your language, plan the project and don't give up in the middle of it. The Axe version that you even released a demo of was wonderful, it's what made you get a subforum, I really liked it, the Zelda-Style.

I think you should've worked from that one, and don't change the type of project, nor the language nor the platform. Just stick to what you had, it was great.

I guess now if you're starting with Z80 ASM, well then just stick to Z80 ASM.

I finally got around to improving the sprites for Trio, and made them for the Wooden Sword, the River Bend Blade, the Ancient Sword, the Raft, the Magic Staff, and the Hookshot.  More to come   Tomorrow, hopefully the rest of the items, the spell icons, and NPCs, and then by Monday some enemies!  Here is my sprite sheet right now (seperate from my tiles sheet, which is too huge and takes up to mcuh space and this would make it messy ) :



EDIT: he kinda looks like me but with a cool mullet

Thanks yeah I renamed it because the 'Falling' part doesn't fit into this part of the storyline, maybe once I finish this I can start on 'Trio and Niko II: Falling' with the original story.  For now, it's more of a "wait, where am I? I was like the prince of xxx but then this evil wizard did xxx and now I'm xxx with an xxx with my foe xxx!" story now (but not quite that bad and cliche'd )

Well since I said I would show progress on Monday with spriting and such, here are some things I got done:



Not nearly as much as I wanted to do, but I got busy, so, oh well I'll try to make it up to myself at a later time As you can see I finally finished all of the items and started on enemies and NPCs.  However I don't have great ideas for non-boss enemies, so any ideas are welcome


Also, I updated the map to be better detailed and have some small new additions:

There has been MAJOR work on this in secret by myself lately, however, along with that comes MAJOR changes.  I don't know if anyone will like these changes, but it makes it easier for me with these changes and I only have to throw away just some z80 assembly code (I tried making new graphics, but I decided that keeping the old ones would be sooo boss!)

Whoever guesses the change gets a cookie

(also, because of this change, I've been able to get things done with this much faster -- though I still bet you wont guess the change because is rather large)

I have no idea. So I guess I'll just have to wait </useless post>
