Clarissa - MOVED! on Nostr: The more I consider it, I don't think I'm actually going to backport Enigma Heart and ...
The more I consider it, I don't think I'm actually going to backport Enigma Heart and Acronia to DOS when they're finished. With the original DOS version of Acronia, I think I proved that while I do have talent, I'm not a good enough programmer to do a fast, free-scrolling VGA action game that runs on anything less than a Windows 95-era Pentium. I'm not on the level of, say, those demoscene lunatics who made Jazz Jackrabbit 😅
I do still eventually want to make a DOS game, both to fulfill my promise to the DOS community, and because it's a dream of mine that I still want to see through. But I think whatever I make, it'll be a slower paced action game without scrolling, like Anzu Castle Gracula.
