Sneaky Actor Switching in GB Studio

Controls: Start: Enter, A: Z/Alt

A (relatively) simple trick for GB Studio for increasing the number of (effective) actors in a scene. Hypothetically up to a total of 81, but that would probably crash the game.

However, it only works on static objects and is mostly intended for situations where you want a large number of objects for the player to examine without using up your precious resources.

Just playing through the demo should give you the general idea if you're already familiar with GB Studio, if not you can download the files and examine the guts of the system for yourself.
