Can't wait!!!

Well, whatever we here develop is not made for public use untill the official release. I mean if you decide to decompile the game, i cant stop you, but I wont help you with any problems you may be facing.
You gotta rename a few images for it to work. Im not saying anything, but dont you have something better to do?

Well, if you mine out all the ice9 at 20000-21000 feet before going deeper, you wont be able to get deeper next time anyways.

Crematoria is mostly horizontal, though, with no DEEP shafts, isn't it? That'll make an interesting switch.

Interesting, maybe, nice to the eye, doubtfully... if ill be forced to make my own graphics... ill make it as bad as i can (which isnt saying a lot) to irk some people...

Ok, to save on your time, i already have (almost all) surface elements, including sky (background, foreground), volcanos, clouds, lightning, rain.
The sky will be of variable color, depending on the time of day it is.
Here is a screenshot during lightning storm.

Basicly, what remains is
1. The glider apparatus
2. The new startpage
3. An alien tower/fortress with a turret on top and a gate that lets out aliens.
4. Destroyed base

Good luck on your game,Alex and co!

By the way, I really like the cloud graphic. It actually looks convincingly like different clouds when you overlap it. Who did that?

One of those volunteers. Probably ripped from google images.

To do the destroyed base, I need to know what the un-destroyed base looks like. Do you have one (that you like) yet?

It is the one in the PM i sent you.

A quick note about lighting (not lightning): If you use a colored lightbulb, or put a white lightbulb behind colored plastic, then EVERYTHING in the room takes on that color balance.  So, what's the major light source on Crematoria? Orange lava, blue lightning? Or a green sky? Or should the sky be purple like the clouds? Even the "white" shine on the ship should be skewed toward the dominant light-color on Crematoria.

Thats some heavy work for Java's graphical engine. It will slow down the game tremendously if I were to use blends. Java sucks when it comes to drawing with some alpha value.

Quote :

The background sky (green) looks too flat and MS-Paint-y, though. Needs a re-do, when we have time.

Well, its supposed to be of varying color depending on the time of day. Its very light during the day and bluish-dark at night. It could use some atmospheric affects, like some shine or thin mist. I might also vary it from left to right to hint at the location of the sun.

Quote :

Can we replace the flat color in the tunnels with a texture, or is that a big fat p.i.t.a.* programming problem?

Not enough computer power to process it. I have rough tunnels now instead of as if they were made with a scalpel. That's even more hassle for me to add texture to the tunnels.

Quote :

To do a new start page, I need copies of the (separate) new soil, lightning, cloud, etc.-- basically everything in the screenshot above, plus a dashboard. (Will our dashboard change?)

The dashboard is the same. Ill send you the game.

Hmm...I like the backgroundcolour of Sethness more than this green one. Alex, who made this pictures for yOu?

None one did it, it is just a monotone color.
And it wont be green all the time, it will change depending on the time of day.

I wonder.. Did you pick Java for this because it was the easiest for you? Because if you had stuff like Flash and Actionscrïpt, you could put it online, and get advertising revenue.

Flash is too slow. Its not actually a programming language. Its more like GameMaker only a bit faster and more professional.

Mmm, I`ll try Java, if I can get them compilers to work...
I probably could read code already.

When is the next game coming out? Is it another Crematoria game or will Mars be a priority?

When I get about 100 scores submitted for MLU2, then Ill think about considering a possibility of trying to make a new version...
Really, the world needs MLU3 as much as "Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2"
