08.06.2025 - Video: Quasimodo's Halloween Horror (C64) Preview 3b - Ghost Busting..
A very brief update - but with a small dilema, should this game turn into a Run and Gun? It may just work. There's quite a bit of reworking of the main Quasimodo sprite, but instead of having throwing object animation frames (as originally intended), he can now shoot, which is a lot easier to animate.
