Hello! I recently discovered David's channel on YouTube (the making of videos for Plant X2 and then Planet X3) and following the trail led me to the discovery of Commander X16 (and the vintage computers in general). India was nowhere around on the tech map when these early machines came out (I think the first personal computers here would have been the DOS-based machines in the early 90s, I could be wrong though.) I am finding myself drawn tho the project, and looking forward to being part of the KS when it launches! On a side note, I want to develop a video game, a metrodivania to be precise. I have no exposure to making games, and though I have tried to look into Godot, Unity etc as starting points, the attempts have been abortive. I want to start off with a game for the X16 - the constraints imposed by the hardware and memory could actually benefit me since the ecosystem could be comparatively easier to understand (I think!). I am reading up on this, and I realise I can either work in BASIC or Assembly -- what should I choose, considering I will be starting from zero on either? Thanks!
