Erin, don't worry about it. It's totally voluntary, and we appreciate your tips and suggestions. Stay around and keep commenting, it's always good to know what people think about stuff when making decisions   Was just kidding with ya :D Why do people try use the "it's such-and-such way in the actual game" argument? If the sky gradient were lighter, you wouldn't no longer be able to tell what game it was from. It's usually a dumb idea to sacrifice artistic quality for some kind of obscure accuracy. I mean, the ground in the level looks almost nothing like the ground in the actual game, does it?
Sorry if I'm blowing things out of proportion, but I keep seeing this kind of thing pop up in this project's threads.
I think "the orginal game"-arguments can be valid, at least some of them. We are preforming a fine balance between keeping the original feeling of stuff from their home games, adapting stuff to indie brawl standards, keeping a decent artistic quality and maybe adding a little creative liberation as well. All of those has to have it's space. |

The sky should be a bit brighter and there needs to be more contrast between the sky and the moon instead of them blending together. Example:  |

for a way to program death worm, their is a cop- out solution.
deathworm either emerges from the foreground or the background, and descends in the other one, leaving behind a trail of destruction.
just a copout solution.
is everyone really arguing about the sky gradient?

At the moment it looks like the ground is in daytime but with a night sky ('cause it's dark). I reckon just lighten up the sky somewhat.

Oh and yes, Death Worm is based on the mythical (hopefully!) Mongolian Death Worm.

Finally, time for another revision. I had a slight urge to work on Indie Brawl again today, although I feel it may pass as quickly as it came.  Decided to spice up the background. Alas, the layers were inexplicably lost, and so the gradients in the sky have been removed. Anyone who cares to add them back in is welcome to do so.

That made my night better! Is the stage going to turn from day to night in the game? Because there was a night mode in Death Worm.

I've been incredibly busy with college. In about a week, I'll start work on this again.

To be honest, I can't wait to get back to Indie Brawl. There are so many improvements I've been dying to make but simply haven't had time to do.

You could easily make a day/night cycle just with a few different sky backgrounds as an animation. Or something like that.

That looks really good! Only problem as I see it is that it's untrue to the original, but if it looks better, what the hell  |

Flashygoodness's music in any playable format. That should be about it.

There's no need to rush. As you can probably tell, we're not on a tight schedule. Even if it's not finished for Milestone 1, whatever you have finished already will be fine. |

Okay, now that the new test build is out, getting this stage done is my top priority for IB. Missiles and ground burst are all we need, hmm?

Yeah, basically. That and Flashy's music. But besides actually programming the thing, I'd say it's nearly done.

BOMB. Don't know if I got the outlines thick enough, it's been a while since I did work for IB.  |
