To do List to be ready for a demo video

My Little Bronies,

I ran into a problem I will probably complain a lot about if you ask me how it's going: Color Palette.  The backsprites for the male and female characters pull from the same place, and I don't know how to tell it to do something different.  So I had to redo Twilight Sparkle's back sprite, while simultaneously doing it for the Spike.  Here there are, both...Using the same 16 colors:
WHOO!  I know where the colors go in the game, so that should hopefully be 15-20 minutes at most to throw together.

Now let's talk turkey.  I want so badly to put up a demo video and possibly an IPS patch file or have someone host the ROM so that I can get community feedback.  That's the whole reason of having a blog about it.  I sat down and made a list of all the spriting I want done to get the demos started.  Here is that list in its current condition, in it's separation of done and not done.  I will just update this post to simplify letting you know what's going on.  So if anyone gets curious about what's the status, check here:

  1. well, I have a free weebly site, depending on how this ROM works I might be able to throw it into an HTML box and host it for you.

    If that could happen that would be awesome! I've already looked into a couple of options, such as emulation embedded into a website, but the place I know that can do it doesn't do it for Gameboy Advance, just SNES, GB, GBC, and a couple other low resource demanding systems.
