This is my entry for Industry contest. Everything is text based. Use crane to move packages to the truck...to save the industry. ver 1.2 Fixed word list: "VILLAGE", "RESULT". Added crane select menu. ver 1.1 Added support for different claw. ver 1.0 Initial release.

Instructions:

control D-pad = move crane A button = grab/release package

Ah wow, entirely text! That's cool!

Might want to look up the FONTDEF. If you look at the help page 2, it's fairly easy to create custom text, that would slightly improve the crane. Maybe use something like this: DATA"00011000" DATA"00011000" DATA"00011000" DATA"00111000" DATA"00110000" DATA"00110000" DATA"11110000" DATA"01100000" TOP=ASC("/"):CNT=1 You could also replace the open side, and closed side for left and right. by creating 4 separate font edits for a even more detailed look.

You can also make a copy of the font GRP, edit it, and load it to GRPF.

Why though? The imperfections are part of the text-based style.

I was only responding because FONTDEF sucks and GRP is easier lol. The game looks fine as it is

Including an entire GRP just to change a few characters would be completely terrible.

This one is my favorite contest entry! (It also clearly shows the text background color bug that I found a while ago)

One time I got the word VILLAFE. Did you mean VILLAGE and simply made a typo, is there a mechanic that purposely misspells words, or something else?

I operate overhead cranes in real life. They are fun. And so is this game!

I found another typo. REAULT -> RESULT and fixed. I added crane type selection menu too.
