History

Shawy Adventures started back in Novemeber 2016, the first commit dates 9 Nov 2016 :). First starting as a demonstration for the Open Advanced Music Library project and then moving to a project in itself. The first idea was to use exactly the same specifications that the Game Boy used to have, using the greenish 4-colors and 160x144 pixels for the screen. Later, the project moved to its own dimensions using now 228x128 pixels and different combinations of 4-color palettes. The same happens in the Soundtrack, first it is more limited, using only 4 tracks (2 squares, 1 wave and 1 noise). And later expanding the tracks if the song required it. All these changes give Shawy Adventures its own unique style, even if it's still inspired by the aesthetics of the Game Boy.
