Actually now you mention Dinamic, you'd think that many brits of our vintage would know "TU MISION HA FRACASADO HAS PERDIDO TUS EFECTIVOS" off by heart!

I couldn't find an English version, sorry.

In short, the deadline is 30/09/2020, the point of the compo is to use the recently released MK1 and the email to send the game files is [email protected]. There is additional details in the page, with a bit of mojonesque humor on it as well, I dare you to google-translate all of it and see if you can fully understand it all.

There is no shortage of Spanish speakers in this forum if you need help ;)

Thanks Manu!! You are right! I checked the blog and realized that I had not posted anything in 2019 :shock:

Hehe. Google is better than you think. In some cases I preferred your phrasing, other Google's. All was fine.

It's not been forgotten. Unfortunately I'm one of those people who still has a job to go to at the moment!

It's in the middle of a bit of re-organisation to work out what data can be compressed to save memory. I've probably designed more sprites than I actually need instead of getting on with the coding, since I wrote a sprite sketcher for my Nintendo DS!
