Wingy, I said it's NOT 20 files, that need to be changed...more like 3 !!
And PhotoShop was only one of the tools I used..... and I said before, the graphics are nothing too special. And you got to remember, that when I finished the beta-version of DoD in early January, there was no Dominator yet....nobody had changed Jack's appearance at all (at this point in time).
So when Dominator appeared, of course I was set back a bit.... as it was so beautifully done, as far as graphics are concerned...and especially the JAC character was soo impressive, that all my changes seemed to dwarf in comparison.
Took me a while to get over that..... but as IMHO the main point of interest in DoD is not the custom graphics per se (they're just the icing on the cake), but the gameplay and my attempts to get the most oiut of the standard tools we have (which don't lean very much towards designing anything that is not castle- and/or spook-related etc.)...and tweak that into a bit of Pop Art, with the added help of some custom graphics...(which are nowhere as
To your other questions: no, I didn't go as far as changing the opening theme, not even the opening screen BTW.
While my original plan was to write & produce completely new music for DoD, I couldn't manage that (as I had to score several films in the meantime and simply didn't have enough time left)....so I decided to include several music tracks I had written some time ago (for other projects), which fit just as well.

complete(= a complete new world) as in Dominator for example).
