Preview of Spring 2013
 

As the winter is dragging on (still snowing here WTF) I figured I would post a preview of the coming spring.

It's still a work in progress. Big up to Dusty and the two new level designers though! I love it.

That pic gives graal a more of a graal feeling, I like it.

Nice, looks good! :)

needs more colors less green

Gives the Classic look on pc.
I like the new buildings.

Looks like REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL Graal.

Ooh noice!

I like the pretty mailbox, colorful houses & the path 0:! It's also nice to see other flower colors other than the mustard yellow looking ones.

Dat nostalgia

Looks great!

worth a boner <3

I like everything except for the red flowers. I mean, yes those flowers are meta old Graal but they're red nasty zits on the tile set. Other than that I'm looking forward to seeing this :D

i love that tileset, i always have. Makes me think of those kid area things at the mall. It adds a nice dose of euphoria to the game. http://www.southernmamas.com/wp-cont...annah-mall.JPG

Can't wait for it to be updated, looks really nice !

Who cares about winter, let's get springtime going! :D

Looks pretty.

Curious as to your opinion on changing this. I mean, I can tell you apparently hate the red flowers, but why, and what would you actually want? Red is a pretty standard flower color, and they're not saturated so therefor not really contrasting much. I agree red isn't a pretty color on green, but I can't say it looks bad in this case. What colors would you propose? Not that they're necessarily going to be changed at this point, but I'm still curious what's wrong with red.

**** that they are staying red.

._. ok

I can't wait to see the new tileset in game, just awesome. Good job Dusty :)

green makes red POP! plus i couldn't imagine it differently without crying.

Why not just more than one color flower D;


Also, I really hope the dirt texture is redone (the texture on the part where the gravestone is, around there). I LOVE this new tile set, but it would be amazing if the dirt was redone.

because different colored trees work out so well we should do it with flowers too, right?

It's different and you know it >:0

^^^

:(

I love the new look, I can't until spring, it's going to look better, and we can catch bugs once again!

Well spring is still a month away... and theres like two feet of snow outside my house right now.

Looks sexyyy. :D
Although, tileset swap = eyes burning for a few days, but this kinda change im willing to seer my retinas for.

Can we pretend that every other season just doesn't exist and stick with that tile set?

ZOMFG!!!

If I have it my way, next Winter will get my personal touch.

omfg I want that tileset to play with. (Dunno why, its just an altered version of the classic pc one)

I love it
Can we just have it now please

Wait so will all levels on the server be remade to stick to that theme

Yesss I heard rumors of this :D should be good its about time the levels got revamped

Sure another servers doing this n'all, well I welcome the new look.

Whats different about it? O_o besides the trees

Not you silly, everyone likes Winter (US). :)

Buildings, paths, cliffs, mailbox. (it actually looks like a mailbox now how revolutionary)

terrible preview, no gameplay video with bad dubstep playing over it. 2/10 rufus.

The sky chapel and singles bar are using the new tiles.

Things are gonna start lookin' a little bit different from now on.

Me likey very much.

Anyone know when winter's ending?

Nice levels by the way.

Dusty, that cliff-rooftop transition is excellent. This sure does look pretty exciting!

I hope that isn't being done dynamically with showimg as that would surely destroy those poor iOS device GPUs (unless Stefan coded to mostly use CPU which would be worse).

As for limited flower colours, the tileset is limited in size so sacrifices have to be made. It would be nice if multiple tilesets could be easily added in a non-hack way but eh...

NPCs could be used but unfortunately, that adds overhead as NPCs effectively become objects: causing CPU overhead from scripting. A few wouldn't cause an issue but something like a garden? Would be nice if you could specify notascript; which would mean it doesn't get included in any scripting processes...

Thinking on this, if you had a system which reads a file (or a script in the level) which contains an image name, x and y coordinates and uses this to place showimgs of all the images on screen: it might be somewhat feasible?

I'm not in a position to test and dunno and what point it would become beneficial (if at all)

Well, because more flowers would totally ruin graal...

Nice, I love it! :)

Of course it's not dynamic :)

Flowers are possible, but not sure if the benefit is quite worth the effort right now. Tileset space isn't that bad since I have cleaned up the tileset and removed most of the worthless tiles(lava and such).
