pixel art drawing of Link from Zelda depicted as a woman, wearing the classic green tunic and cap, with long flowing magenta-pink hair. She is crouched down with right leg extended and hands down toward her bow, with one hand on the bow and one open just above the bowstring

i'm making a #QBasic game using mode 13h, 320x200 8bpp. i'm using VGA line doubling to make it 320x100 then horizontally doubling each pixel for 160x100

i use a palette with 3 bits red/green and 2 blue, and "subpixel dither" in between colors. here's a thread of images showing what that's like

Back in the 90s, this site was my primary source for qbasic gamedev related things.
Maybe it can help you on your project :)

After many years' wait, the #SeagaSaturn #homebrew port of #TombRaider II is entering its final stage of development.

According to the project's creator, "JRTombRaider"
beta testers, polishing, and bug fixing are where the project is at now.

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.

I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.

If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)
