It's totally safe to switch the Megadrive's background plane address mid-frame, testing that out with some hastily scribbled cloud graphics. Combining that with a raster palette swap and some sprite duplication to make a nice water effect.
This console is fun to tinker with.

Today I've been making improvements and fixing palette bugs.
Had a problem where an object wouldn't share their slot properly and end up claiming a second, evicting lower priority objects such as this NPC, causing them to draw with the wrong palette data.

Been drilling into how an actual game works today, so level flow, progression stuff, what do where when why. lots to think about. Currently have a save point working on the PC build, tracks stats and what level you're in, autosaving on level entry, the "Retry" button hooks into this properly.

rough bossfight flow, this is working pretty close to how I planned it! Player combat needs a lot of work, haven't merged some good changes in yet.
