In tonight's #Asspull3X update, the logo for the tetris game (both title and during play) semi-randomly switches between "Catris" and «Котрис». Because why not?
(It's not actually random though, it's all in the timing when you start the machine.)
New #Asspull3X splash screen, for... about five kilobytes more. Less if I reduce the detail a bit. Thanks to @Foone.
Also thinking of removing the "boot from diskette" feature in favor of loading up the Navigator, would simplify things a LOT (and maybe recoup that 5 KB) 🤔
What do you mean "#Asspull3X Cat" pffft
(Her surname is technically non-canon but who gives a shit?)
#Asspull3X late night fix to try and fight the feels:
In 16:10 mode, objects still rendered in 4:3. Now fixed.
1. 4:3 image, note logo height.
2. 16:10 raw image, logo is the same.
3. 16:10 stretched, logo is also stretched.
4. #2 again, but logo is correctly positioned.
#Asspull3X images with built-in HDMA gradients. Because why not. https://t.co/iLRXPRbcu5
What if you had both a cartridge inserted in your #Asspull3X *and* a diskette with a start.app file?
Right now it'd just skip this screen entirely and start the cart *or* the diskette in that priority order...
Even though my #Asspull3X SCI0 picture viewer does undithering *purely* because I'm a lazy hack who took the easier way out, that still doesn't solve gotchas like Larry 3 picture 265 that draw their own dither patterns by hand.
There was an attempt. #Asspull3X on the left, SCI Companion on the right.
Things immediately noticeable: no pen dots, colors are off.
Saw this old tweet, got inspired. #asspull3x https://t.co/MLyuYHJj8K
I think this title screen is *just about* done. #asspull3x
*sneakily edits the #asspull3x font into a DOS CPI file*
(now with the *actually correct* codepage replaced)
Something about this #asspull3x mockup looks familiar. Is it the ushanka?
And so the #asspull3x gets a new game. As you can see from the empty status panel this is as yet unfinished, but I'm pretty happy with the progress so far.
Any resemblance to a certain PD SNES ROM is entirely coincidental.
A careless comment by @Jistuce inspired me to dig up the ol' public-domain SNES collection. Now I kinda really want a Columns on the #asspull3x, hentai or otherwise.
Shown here, a mockup based on one of those PD roms, and the assets I ripped from it.
