This is looking superb! I didn't know much about this game but the blend of mechanics (turn based combat + sidescroller) stands out to me as something pretty unique & refreshing, I can see why you wanted to port it!
Keep up the great work! ^^

Thanks!
There's also this mini-game-ish combat I haven't added yet, which is one of the main reason I wanted to port this game.
The other being the OST; Every single song in this game is a decent chiptune, they are still in my chiptune playlist.

Text engine stuff today.
Now I can easily add NPCs & dialogue points to my Tiled tilemap.

• Added hud::TextBox (edit: previously hud::DialogueBox)
• Added DialoguePoint,
• Added NpcSpawnPoint to spawn Npc

Download this as .mp4 video (audio included)

This TextBox prints the characters in a single sprite, and adds additional sprite when it is full.
