Minor graphical suggestion

Post by Theory »

Well, simply put, have stars reflected in the water at night and maybe reflections of things around the water?

Just a thought, no biggie.

I think I can safely say: "Lot of effort, no gain whatsoever" to this one. I mean, even graphically this won't add much.

No gain? I think inproving the graphics of the game would be very cool.
Every graphic proposal is answeered with "i dont think its useful nah".
Maybe ur right, one single upgrade isnt useful, but one will follow another ;-)

#me likes water reflection effects

I don't even think that's possible...

Considering the ( fairly ugly D: ) water graphics we have which is just one tile that's an animated gif or something like that, I really don't think it's possible to do that anyways.

The water tile is made of 33 animation frames and is by far the tile that requires the most space. Making a version with starts on it for every of the 33 animations wouldn't be really cool...

It wouldn't look nice and it would take a good amount of wasted space in the memory.
