Yes, we did. It was a blast using that to make the sounds and music.

Got really good at using it by the end of the project. You can listen to the trailer music here. Let me know what you think.

The Chromatic is an awesome experience to play. The HTMX 4 game has an auto-loader which immediately drops you into the game at your last checkpoint. Since the Chromatic has no boot screen, you're back in play within a second of powering on the system.

Sweet - thanks for your work on GB Studio, Chris. The music, sprite and palette tools were invaluable during development.

Tell me about it. I made a joke about the store selling 'Complexity Bad' onesies, and he started selling them later that day.
