What on earth could that be?

(big props to I think Mike for implementing layers and making this even possible)
(other different big props to Mr. B, who drew this awesome tileset, except the rain, which is mine)
(this is going to be one seriously gorgeous game if/when it ever releases)

Not that I had to check the properties of the image to confirm it or anything...but could it really be? Stargate 3!!!

Good Lord, Man. It's been too long D:>

Seriously, that looks great.

I can't begin to tell you how much of a blessing layers have been for me. I'm sure it will be as much for Stellar Gallatic 3 as well.

That's a nice tileset (how many times will this game morph before it is reliased), but I want to see SHEETS of rain coming down!

The game hasn't morphed. The screenshots you saw before are still in the game. This particular screenshot comes from the intro cutscene, but the tileset will also be used for one of the later areas in the game.

Since you'll need to see what you're doing in that area, it's probably not a good idea to make it much rainier. I'll have to reanalyze once I actually implement that area, but my guess is that it's distracting enough as is.

I think an easy way to make the rain less distracting is to simply change it to a light blue color so that it mixes in with the rest of the night time scenery.

I'm probably going to use the brown not-so-dark tileset for that area since this one is tougher to see and not as interesting to look at, so changing the color wouldn't be so helpful.

Oh, ok. That would definitely help. Didn't think the tileset itself was subject to change, just a suggestion if it did stay blue.

More screenshots time! I finished the game's intro today. Of course, I realize that's not the most interesting shot, so as a bonus, here's an action screenshot showing how little has changed in three years.

Oooh.. another SG? Looking forward to that. The release date is on Halloween, I presume?

I don't think I ever said the words "Scary Game" or "release date." I'm especially sure I never said "release date."

Violence? Look at the expression of shock on that zombie's face! Equal rights for the undead! We demand justice now!

And brains! We demand brains!

Oh? What a curious location! Are you sure you're in the right game?
