Subject: More random stuff
Hello again people, just to let you know my little JSW related
surprise may be ready within' the next 4 days. I started it on 11th
Feb, and I don't want it taking more than 2 months (although 1 is
the desired time, which is why I say maybe instead of it's coming).
Regarding the comments on background colour from the last couple of
posts. I prefer if possible to use black or blue as most of my games
are set at nightime anyway (or in shadowy or gothic type
surroundings that have little light anyway), but I also like to use
multiple colours in the background if possible (providing it doesn't
interfere with certain guardians paths, as the big colour chunks you
get when they switch between different colour blocks are pretty
ugly). For instance I like to use in a screen that has indoors and
outdoors on it, Cyan for the sky and black for the part that is
still indoors (providing I want that part of the game to be
daytime), I think Maria on Tour may be the only JSW I've made with
an true emphasis on daylight as adversed to nightime.
Also thanks to Herve married life is going well!
Hope to see your next set of games sometime this year maybe?
