new projects and releases: text and graphic adventures • Re: Exploring (fiddling about with) The Quill

Looking at Behind Closed Doors (there are 3 variations on WOS, I've taken the "customised" version as it has additional messages, the game logic is the same), it uses The Patch to switch between two fonts when it displays pages from the newspaper. That's doable, although I have to redefine the font between messages, so we'll see how that performs in practice.

Unquill is reversing the order of the bits for when it emits the font for some reason, so I'll have to resolve that as a quick test is showing the characters mirrored left to right. I'm probably missing something obvious, but that seems weird. It's also finding 3 fonts instead of the two the game is using, so that's another mystery.

It makes for an interesting test case though, so good choice.

Of course, if one plays the game in Mode 7, none of this is relevant.
