Not a new release if it isn't finished
Nice use of hires mode !

[bohoki]

looks a bit better than shadow warriors

[anders]

I would like to see more of this. It looks great!

[zeeW0lf]

Thanks

Plenty more to come, sorry for the low quality video, I didn't realise how bad it was

I will post more progress soon

I felt the hires background suited better as I can get more detail in

Very nice looking adaptation so far with the hires graphics!

Enemies may give trouble though if they all will also have hires outlines.

Depends on the approach I suppose, could go down the Ocean route with the multiplexing on the sprites like Dragon Ninja/Robocop for example.

Very nice!

Simple tip, if objects are going to have overlays, don't bother including the overlay sprites in the sort. Only sort for the object's Y position then display two sprites at that position.

Looks promising

Sure, if player + 3 adjacent enemies on the same horizontal line are enough. The pickups + spell effects might need additional sprites, which could also done with chars too.

It's also true that player with overlays + enemies without overlays (think something like New Zealand Story) would look more coarse and perhaps disappointing.

It would be a shame if the special weapons were done with chars, one of the most fun parts of the game is throwing the big ninja star and hopping and ducking it as it swoops back to you to prolong the effect. It wouldn't be quite the same if it had char level resolution. Small stars could use chars, as IIRC you can have multiple in the air at once. Same for the rising fire attack, there's a lot happening there.

Also take into account you can shoot sub weapons after collecting the invincibility powerup, which makes a ring of fire appear around you.

[zeeW0lf]

It does have overlays for the enemy sprites.

Thanks for the sort tip yes it makes sense .

I will see how I get on with that. I want as many of the special features as I can get in so this may eventually change how I use the available sprites .

testing the new multiplex code.

there are a couple of issues but this nothing insurmountable
