Welcome! It's impressive that you've got your code running on a Genesis and the color reduction doesn't look too bad, but there are some pretty bizarre things in your changelog, for example:
Quote:
We completely rebuilt how Jazz's animations are handled by reading the actual 38-state animation machine from the open-source PC engine.
|
Jazz 1 is not open-source! Are you thinking of OpenJazz? That's another fan recreation, like yours, it can't guarantee to be accurate in this regard.
Quote:
We discovered that the original game actually drew entirely separate graphics for left-facing and right-facing enemies rather than just "flipping" them in the code.

This seems like a really basic thing to discover when you can see it for any object by looking at them in J1E or even JJ1MOD, or looking up the file formats on ModdingWiki. I really think you're going to have an easier time of this if you reference all the existing research and tools for Jazz 1, rather than start from scratch. |
