+## Shining in the Darkness Ramake [abandoned]
+
+Made in 2021 in hopes of stirring some interest towards the game.
+
+Built in Lua upon g3d engine made for love2d framework.
+
+Released under MIT if applicable (code, models, some of the textures textures)
+
+### How to use:
+
+- navigate to assets/OG_ROM and put there a ROM file from Steam
+- get love2d engine
+- run `love .` in the repo folder
+
+Movement: `W`, `A`, `S`, `D`, Mouse
+Menus (bugged): `left`, `down`, `right`. Only "status" works. Don't press `up` ;p
+Screenshots: F12
+
+### It crashes!
+
+- If it says something about missing files - I forgot to put them here. Contact me.
+- If it complains about too many something in shaders - you won't be able to run the "game" unless there are less shader units required. 
+GTX1660S should handle it. GT1030 may not. It can be fixed, but hte project is [abandoned]
+
+
+### Files
+
+Here and there sprinkled some files. Some usefull, some useless, some need to be replaced.
+
+- sitd.lua - reads the OG rROM and extracts maps, items, enemy data. Can't read encounter data, so no battles.
+- OOZE.lua - an example of how to read enemy data, including moves in battles.
+- notes.txt - some addresses in ROM, in Russian, amy provide some insight on the structure of the ROM
+- new 3.txt - info, dumped from online sources: enemy data (contains errors), sprite properties, resistance values explanation, per-enemy battle moves listm effect ids, enemy zone levels (the part I failed to read from the ROM), cheat codes, leveling up tables, some conversations from SFC, modifier explanation, hidden items and dialogues 
+- trans.txt - notes on translation, in Russian, may provide some insight on the structure of the ROM
