Re: Magic of Aquaria (new mod)
« Reply #15 on: October 20, 2009, 03:55:50 am »
Yes, a mod is an add-on to the main game, and Aquaria is only available for PC right now. But Aquaria may be ported to other platforms in the future !

Mods should be compatible with the Mac version (which is already out) and the upcoming Linux version (still being ported).

Looking forward to seeing this mod when its done. :)

really? that's awesome to hear :D
thanks!

Some new art and maybe even music compositions would be a really cool mod :)

I might be down for writing a piece or two, but I don't want to take up a spot that someone else could fill.

Would rather see fans do it TBH! :)

Wow, would be truly wonderful Alec ! :)

I understand you don't want to take the spot of someone else, we will tell you if we find someone ! (you would still be welcome to write some in that case :) )

Oh, Alec, I love your music so much; we would be honored if you could write something for us. I am just jumping up and down, here. Nobody else has stepped forward, you will notice..... Maybe it's a sign from the universe? HEHE

An unknown creature has been spotted in the depths. It was unclear what that was, but that seems huge :)

I hope I don't spoil too much ;)

I'm curious.  Is there any way to get those newly shaded graphics into the main game as well?  A little fan-made update?  I doubt there's any way to really improve this game since it's so good anyway, but a little sharpening never hurts.

This...game...ROCKS!

I just saw all the photos in the album. Golly Jeepers, that looks INCREDIBLE! It looks so beautiful, and has a lot of interesting ideas.

I'm eagerly looking forward to it. Any idea when it will be finished?

Thank you so much for your comments :) I is great to know people are looking forward to it.

I'm afraid it will be long before we are able to release it. Sindhuma is in travel for now, but in 2 weeks, I'm flying to the US for 3 weeks ! We hope that during this time where we will be together we will be able to make a lot of progress. The maps are almost finished, but we have to work a lot on the story and adding puzzles to the mod. Still quite a lot of work.

We will keep you informed !

Hi guys,
I'm still in Mexico but back in a few days. Thanks for all the great comments. About the art, I was sort of hoping that Yogoda's great animation and my graphics might inspire Alec to do an Aquaria sequel with which Yogoda and I would love to help. We are trying to finalize the story, which is still rolling around in my head but getting clearer, and I have a lot of work to do with cutscenes and adding creatures and other stuff to the forest maps, one of which is quite Pandora-esque. Just taking some time off but both Yogoda and I are committed to finishing the mod in the next few months. The cool thing is we work well together and are both open to suggestions. We will have more for the Photobucket site soon! Don't give up on us....

Amazing new pics once again.

I do however see that a LOT of the graphics have white outlines, this is because of the anti aliasing in-game and the fact that transparent pixels are white by default, and so it mixes the existing drawn pixels with the transparent pixels and thus gives the white outline.
To fix this you simple have to draw a (black) outline with a barely/1% visible brush.

Seeing I worked on a Naija skin I ran into this myself, I'd suggest really doing this for it will most likely make everything look way way smoother.

None the less I really can't wait to play this.
