Now the question is keep CPC ones or use the original C64 instead Yep... those CPC looks like jellyfishes but without legs so in A8 blues/cyan doesn't look right. We should go for C64 ones: level_2 line3_1 _C64.xex But ZX and CPC has them in 2 different positions (up and down) so here I also invert the bottom one(s). Also this way it looks much better colours and pixels vs the towers, I think... Edited October 27, 2022 by José Pereira 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José Pereira Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Still 'on aprooval' because I think that these cannons 'can be coloured' seeing in all the other screens with them on the game map : level_4 line3_3.xex Edited October 31, 2022 by José Pereira 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 To date I didn't follow this topic too carefully, other then watching impressive screens 👍 What's the chance of these landing in eventual game, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 José, I have to give you a lot of credit. About 10 to 12 years ago, you used to come on here, showing off beautiful graphics, but then developers would say to you, "But what you're proposing isn't technically possible" or "that would be way too difficult to implement". You've then gone away, done your homework and know all the limitations and probably what is maybe technically possible, but difficult to achieve. Years later, you've worked with a few developers who have then implemented your proposals and you have an impressive back-catalogue of implemented artistic achievements. Now I can't say that these are just my words either. I had thought these words myself, but the late, great Jason Kelk also said the same words as what I was thinking about you. We met at a show in Wolverhampton, England and he was telling me how impressed he was with your efforts and contributions. Well done. You do some really get work on here. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José Pereira Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Here's the other thing, I don't like the mines because they don't 'shine'/distinguish to gfxs: Tried two ways (white and dark blue) but now way: They should be is blue: level_3 line1_3.g2f _blue bombs.xex Don't you all agree 😉? 😃 P.s.- Also going into ZX/CPC X (king of fence) instead of this (a sort of C64 mine/bomb) I don't like and turn into A8 PFs colours couldn't get any good looking results: It just doesn't look good (even on ours blue(s) darker looking.

TheNameOfTheGame Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Yes, I agree the darker blue looks more like a "background" feature so it is easier to distinguish everything else going on. Looks good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
