King-Gizzard, good job I guess you only need to change clouds then ^^

clouds could be swapped to little demons/imps, just an idea (:

This looks awesome!

Is there any way to edit the worms so they look more pixelated in alignment with the map itself? That would be the cherry on top! As well as the clouds others have mentioned.

It's totally possible to pixelate the worm sprites, there's just a LOT of worm sprite files to process so if I did it I would pixelate all sprites as a mini project. I could probably automate a lot of it. One for another day maybe

Music to my eyes!

Do you accept donations via PayPal? I'd glady donate a little something for your effort!

Nah, I just do it for the enjoyment.  I chip away at some of this when work is a bit slow so I guess I do get paid for it   But thanks for the thought . Appreciated.

As an example, here's just one sprite conversion (out of over 800 for the game, 457 of which contain worm animations ) :

I've attached a demo version with replaced clouds.  Make sure you have the default color scheme set in the options or you'll just see normal clouds.

The pain with replacing sprites is you don't have the same freedom as when making terrains.  You're limited to a fixed 90 color palette and that palette is different depending on if you use the default color scheme (which uses the gfx0.dir sprites file) or the alternate color scheme for anomalous vision (which uses the gfx1.dir sprites file).  Sadly, the game doesn't allow you to borrow colors from the terrain assets.   So you have to make your replacement sprites work with those 2 palette sets (by making 2 versions of your sprite) and they are quite different.  For example, converting this new sprite to the gfx1 palette looked awful, whereas I just about got away with it in the gfx0 palette (with a lot of diffusion dithering!).

Anyways - it won't be replacing the original but it's a fun little demo.  When full color is eventually implemented it will open up some very cool possibilities for the game, especially if Deadcode implements the wkTerrainSync feature set; being able to replace water and sprites, having multiple background layers.  It would also be cool to support multiple different debris sprites at the same time and be able to set the amount/density on screen for each.

Amazing work! the water is amazing and excellent pixel conversion ehh

Thanks Jago   It took a while, manually cutting out each frame from Amiga video grabs!  It worked better than I thought it would.
