Re: [glob2-devel] globulation graphic

Hi,

Thank you for these nice graphics. I will answer the question you've asked me 
there so that other people are aware of it.

Is it ok for you to compile the game? If so, even if you do not want to get 
into mercurial, you can still have an up-to-date copy so that you can play 
with latest features.

About your graphics: in general I like them very much :-)
The quality is much better than what we have now, in particular for the 
terrain. On some details, I am a bit worried that it looks too much "high-
tech" and not enough globulo-steam-punkish, but this is a matter of taste that 
we can talk about. For instance, the new wall looks absolutely great, but it 
looks very stonish/metalic albeit it is purely made of wood. The old one had 
the woodish glue style. Maybe we can add a new wall for higher level and use 
your for this while keeping the old one for level one.

What does the community thinks about it?

Now to reply to your questions:

I guess you didn't liked the original ones for this? What does the community 
thinks about the new ones?

Anyway I have patch the latest version of the default branch to adapt the 
amount of animation steps to the different areas. To do so, I have splitted the 
areas in different named graphics, they are now named: area-clearing, area-
forbidden, area-guard

Feel free to suggest a new structure :-)

I have to go now, I will go through the other points later.

Thank you for your contributions, have a nice day,

Steph
