Can I assume these issues meant a GBA port wasn't feasible?

(Also, as someone who spends a lot of time with fan works often considered second-fiddle to original creations, I find the idea of you being explicitly told to use an established character... frustrating.)

We considered a port, but it would have been a ton of work (half the game is written in assembly language, plus we'd need to redo assets, rework it for different screen resolution, etc) and we'd still need a publisher. We were pretty burned out by the end of it.

Very understandable. I just wanted to say that the screenshots and the gameplay videos of this game struck a chord with me. That's some beautiful sprite work. I particularly like the overworld.

Thanks, we tried to make it look as good as it could on the GBC hardware. In fact, until videos of the game were posted, some people even thought we faked the screenshots.

And now you don't just have to look at it. Go play. :)
