Hello everybody,
I'm back from vacation....but even while I was on vacation Rose and I were working hard on the final version of JUMP!, my soon-to-be-released latest mansion.
Originally I had planned to have it released before my vacation, but there were some last-minute issues that - thankfully - Rose had discovered and which are currently being sorted out.
I know that I have announced - or at least - mentioned JUMP! already several times since the release of
- JUMP! is a pretty huge mansion (more than 120 rooms, 7 saves)
and
- JUMP! is a very tough beast, probably my hardest mansion so far.
That's why the testing phase takes a bit longer than usual. (Suztours helped beta-testing it, too, BTW.)
But my greatest shock came when, while on holiday, I installed MM on my second Mac (to be able to continue working on it during vacation). As opposed to my home G5 PowerMac, which has a 19
What do you guys see ??

Underground Fortress(I started building JUMP! even before UF !!), but what you need to know is:
- JUMP! is a pretty huge mansion (more than 120 rooms, 7 saves)
and
- JUMP! is a very tough beast, probably my hardest mansion so far.

monitor, this was the first time I played MM on a Mac with a new TFT-screen.lighter
Suddenly ALL colors were much
in tone....even those very dark baclkground tiles, which I normally can't hardly see (and often take for black) were suddenly clearly visible asnd recognisable (as being not black at all).almost-black
So I made a couple of discoveries, especially in Layer-0 or Layer-6, where I often had used
tiles to hide something etc. - and now I saw that probably all those of you playing with a TFT-screen will immediately spot the things I thought I had disguised so cleverly !!tube
But maybe that was just THIS special TFT screen ?
Any comments ?
As an example, please see PIC below - on my home
monitor, I can't hardly see a difference between the background tiles of the upper and those of the middle floor / passage..... they both look grey/black. On my TFT screen, however, I can clearly see that the middle floor has a backgroundwallpaper" that is grey/green-ish.
What do you guys see ??
