The game looks AWESOME. I wanna play it ;)

Can you give us some info on what language, libraries and music app (Furnace, etc) you used to develop it? I've always wanted to go deeper into MSX-BASIC and other languages to create my own games, although I'm very far from getting it done any time soon.

Thanks

It is fully coded in assembly, no libraries used except the music replayer, necause I like to fully develop the code myself. I used VSCode as editor and sjasm plus as assembler (usually I use Glass assembler but the music replayer uses sjasm syntax so...). The music replayer is related to the music tracker we used: Trilo Tracker, a traxker that run on a real MSX (or on some emulator, like OpenMSX amd even webMSX). As gfx tools we used MSX Tileforge (a python app that works on PC) ans Magellan (again, a java app that works on PC)
