So wonderfully pristine and yet gritty.  |

The orange tiles are a big improvement over the orange + blue, even though I liked those originally. I'm not a big fan of the dithered lighting, it just makes the crisp graphics look rather messy. I wondered how it'd look with some subtractive blending:  It has the effect of removing a lot of the detail of the environment, the same as the dithering does, unlike a standard blend which would just make stuff darker but no less clear. It works quite nicely with the strong highlights on the blocks. Thought I'd show it as people don't tend to consider different blend modes, although it doesn't really fit the pure pixels style you've shown so far. |

The dither stuff looks REALLY nice in movement and soft blending stuff like that is not gonna happen in this.

Indeed, the dither stuff looks a lot nicer in action. I mocked up a program in Blitz to test it. I'll see about popping it up here.

Righty, this contains a coupla' Blitz programs showing the lighting (also the fogging, which we'll have in some rooms). NB. The lighting won't be for all locations, obviously, although it will be for a lot of 'em. http://www.drderekdoctors.com/lighting_demo.rarWe will also have SwitchBlade like room reveals when you smash through blocks which also use dithers to be revealed so it all kinda' ties together.

As horrible as this:  Eh, Ptoing?  EDIT: Also, I quite like the C64 look there.  |

Sorry, the graphics really looked like they could be in a C64 game to me.. |

The dithering does indeed look nice when it's moving. It's still a bit messy if you set the whole room to half brightness ambience, for example, but I imagine that's an unlikely case |

happymonster: long time you played something on a C64, eh?
Ishi: Ambience is just something Graham put in there because he could. It is unlikely to be ever used for anything else than a room being faded in and out of for a bright flash which then fades back or something like that. Darker room = smaller light circle around player.

Yup, 'zackly. Although it might be interesting to try it with randomised grain for the ambient. |

Might, but I expect it would look more odd than anything.
