Quoted from Gov:It is amazing how deep this game is. We had to try and "discover" everything in the game rules wise and there are so many little things that I didn't know existed in the rules. I am sure I will never see a lot of them in game but really good players might. The little things Lyman included are really impressive. I have a new appreciation for the game now and have kind of fallen back in love for it.
When I was working on Dredd I kind of got sick of the game and didn't play it for a while. The opposite has happened with AcDc, I can't get enough of it now.
Funny thing is during coloring for DW (which was the better part of a year) I didn't play the game much at all. Sad really because it is a great game. I also learned tons about the game, though it also made me think about how much the game could be with a new ruleset, improved dots, sound, added modes, etc. One thing about newer games are all the different ways you can achieve different MB and scoring modes. While DW has some good strategy available due to the different doctor selections, they are unbalanced in some ways. Once finished I was about ready to sell DW but then I started playing it again and realized just how fun it is. It's got me wanting to go back to the P-ROC project I had planned to do with it before coloring.
I can only say for both of these titles that newer Stern games like AC/DC and MET have truly great dots. There are plenty of places where it might be hard to tell what is happening because of video rips, but the coloring both main artists are doing on them is nothing short of fantastic. Things you can't normally make out become so much clearer. While dots can be colored by anyone, the choices made by a colorist are absolutely important to getting it right while making it clear what is being presented and making things look the best they can. The countless hours that go into coloring and recoloring, reviewing, editing, bugfixing are pretty overwhelming if you stop to think about it during or after the process is over. The team at CDMD is really that, a team and community and it's really fun to see all the progress made on games throughout their development.
When I am only helping out with sprites on a game, my focus is usually pretty narrow just to those modes but I get to see things progress. While the scope of my help is sometimes narrow, it takes into account everything about the game's coloring as we strive to make things consistent.
Quoted from Aurich:That looks so damn bad ass in motion.
Also, Chris, you're my hero for the end music, you know that right?
Hey now, I was the first one to suggest that tune
Quoted from Aurich:I was giving him shit about not skipping the funky end animation. He always threatens to, and then comes through in the end. Gotta have it!
lol
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Dmod, when will you start selling ColorDMD t-shirts? Would be cool to have some screenshots of a few games on the shirt.
As a developer I'm waiting for the embroidered leather developer jackets
For a game like Tron I am wondering if this and Eli's mod will work on the 5V power supply or if that will just be too much. Anyone with an idea of how much Eli will work.
Quoted from Aurich:There are people already running both, in Sigma single color mode (or actually some people messing with changing the DMD color with the ramps) and seems to work just fine.
Thanks, good news.
