I received a wonderful comment about the backgrounds but I want you to see what I see. I get creative in Gimp and can only use 4 shades of green. I can assign 4 colors per 8x8 pixel block. #gbstudio #gamedevelopment #retrogaming #retrogames #gameboy #nintendo #cultofblood #castlevania #indiegames

Working on Level 7 and using tile swaps to experiment with lighting. You can still support our #Kickstarter project: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pko... #gbstudio #gamedevelopment #retrogaming #retrogames #gameboy #nintendo #itchio #cultofblood #castlevania #indiegames #indiedev #homebrew
