Hi Wingy.... you probably mean screenshots from the Discotheque.... I haven't done any screenshots from the Discotheque yet, except those two I posted in the resp. thread a couple of weeks ago, but those didn't show any custom graphics yet.
You gotta know, in the Discotheque there will be only a few selected custom graphics... it won't be like Mummy's or TOTOMBS or your new one... simply for 2 reasons:
1. I started it using standard tiles and trying to make it look a bit unique even with those standard tiles (and had finished already 3/4 of it before I touched Rezilla for the first time).... then I started to bring a few custom graphics in.
2. I might be quite skilled in the manipulation of photos and I like doing designs etc. - but I'm definitely NOT a good drawer or painter, so my abilities of really 'painting' new elements (like the grass in TOTOMBS for example) are rather limited.
Having said that, you can imagine that I use custom graphics in DoD only as added eye candy, and have not created an entirely new world.
Therefore I think it'll be better if I don't spoil the surprise effect, by posting screenshots now..... **
But, incidentally, this way of designing DoD, fits perfectly to its
storyline, (
Jack has heard, that somewhere far away, a rich lunatic has built a discotheque inside of a hill.... but the path to it, is long and hard and only few....etc. blah blah). So it starts pretty normal (design-wise) and gets more and more 'unusual', the deeper Jack enters.....
**BUT: One thing I can tell you already: Jack will be wearing his fancy night-life outfit, when he goes looking for the Discotheque Of Doom. But I wonder if that helps.... as only very few dancers have ever returned from there....
