Dark
Currently just called "Dark," this game is more a technical idea/demo rather than a fully-fledged gameplay concept.
The idea is that by using mostly 1-bit sprites, we can get away with tons more animation and other effects that would be typically more constrained. To save even more space, I had this crazy idea of implementing basic dynamic lighting on top of the sprites themselves.
Specifications
The palette has reserved slots in 2-3 (red/orange), 14-16 (greys) for palette animation effects or additional lighting effects. Slot 1 is reserved for the 1-bit character animations.
Image Encoder
The encode-image.py script converts a Dark-paletted image into a compressed version that can be imported into TIC-80.
