Just uploaded NEXXT 3.5 to itch.
This quick recording showcases a few of the new features, incl. metatile rosters, cycling, & clonestamp eraser.
Cycling through favourites, you won't need to move the mouse back & forth as much.
Also works on regular tiles & palettes.

NEXXT 3.4 also sports colour perception testing filters - while not to be considered lifelike simulations, they may help you get clues if interactables, collidables & points of interest read well, if there are distractions, and if everything that needs to be legible is.

my main difficulties with this test:
-a caveat is you will have different pools of consensus in different languages and/or cultures
-the sequential mode makes you contrast the current panel with the last one, promoting a flipflop tendency
-i ran it 4 times and the 3rd time became an outlier

Yesterday was my b-day. We borrowed a nice kitchen and cooked all day. Resulting in a veritable georgian feast 🇬🇪
4 Pkhalis, Badrijani nigvzit, Satsebeli sauce with fried almond potato chips, Satsivi (quorn filets instead of chicken), salad in walnut dressing, Khachapuri; the legendary bread of life

Commission for an upcoming music & art NES cartridge.
While i haven't verified the positions of every sprite on hardware, this'll work with unnoticably minimal to hopefully no adjustments, on the NES.
Both window sides are on the sprite layer to cover the parallax scroll on the background plane.

I've also changed itchio from "0$ or pay what you want" to plainly free.
Instead, 1st launch shows news / roadmap, along with donation buttons made to be more voluntary.
To me this feels more personal & honest, and I hope you'll agree.

I've made a 'masterclass' tutorial.
It details 5 must-know tricks to get the most out of your subpalettes & tiles for true NES graphics.
It's available to my "NES art & tech nerd" tier patrons, or can be bought for a 1-time price.
I'll leave a teaser visual here.

One trick up my sleeve for project 'borscht'.
On the NES, you typically achieve "parallax scrolling" by splitting the single BG layer in horizontal bands; scrolled apart. That means no overlap allowed.
This scene achieves that anyway by 2 subtle sprite layer placements (the lowest hanging stars)
