Magicore now supports "color regions”. The background is only 3 bitplanes (8 colors), but this new feature lets the game change the BG palette on different parts of the screen. It's all automated—the compiler scans the source image to figure out optimal color swaps, then the game engine takes that info and builds the copperlist for it.

As a test, I imported this free 19-color BG I found online (art by ansimuz) and the results are quite stunning. Blog post soon!
