New Alpha Graphics Mod

Post by damezzi »

I have worked with Ralph to bring this mod to life. After he made possible the use of png files with alpha channel, I decided to finally deal with the huge view. It was necessary to begin from scratch for terrain tiles and counters. Counters symbols had to be redrawn.

I decided for a design solution which would have some boardgame feel to it, but with some real looking elements too. You’ll see that some are symbolic, while others more figurative. That way I could attain a cleaner look, without the overly flat aspect of my boardgame mod.

Style is a subjective matter, so that some will like it and some don’t, but the fact that it’s cleaner and the huge view presents better resolution, makes the game look more up to date graphically. There are two or three elements I need to tweak and some tiles, like the railroad one, come with alternative version for better visualization. I also created a number of different counters styles, but some look more artificial then others, so the mod will be initially available with the slightly rounded counters you see.
