The HUD is actually a text box, that's forced to stay on screen via some edited code in the engine. You then store a lot of the information in variables that are updated every screen, the Room Names are manually written out and a switch is used to determine which room's text box appears, and Profile Pictures are built into the ascii file itself and typed out in the text as well!
It's using modded engine files that were originally developed by some users on the discord. If you're not a member, I recommend checking it out, there's a lot of cool work being done to push GB Studio's limits!
I was actually unfamiliar with RE Gaiden until Stranger told me about it during the collab. I think there's a LOT of potential for combat systems that build further into that space.
Once I get less busy with life stuff, we've got some cool ideas to work on!!
Thanks! Stranger had some awesome ideas that were a lot of fun to tackle. We had to cut a few things because of limitations and I think there's still some room to improve my scripts, but I'm really happy with how this came out!

Hey! Just noticed the color and music update, looking great!
Hi! Would it be possible to make the ROM available for download?
It Is!
Sorry, I'm not seeing a Download button...?
Good game though, I love the concept!
This is really good! lots of great ideas and really polished. The more players, the better it is. Well done!!
How did you get the HUD to fix to the camera view??!! Is it just heaps of sprites pinned to screen in a grid?
You would have to ask LazyDev about that. I did all the art and Lazy did all the scripting :D

This is *so* cool. One issue: I didn't know there was a limited number of moves and there doesn't seem to be a way to see how many moves are left
It reminds me of Resident Evil Gaiden.
Very interesting!
