Falcon's Eye Source


nothing wrong with a bit of prettying-up, especially as much as that :)

however, the conversion from 800*600 might be a hassle, and requests of this sort rarely get taken up, sorry worldwriter...
 
Ditto, even with the Win32 basic graphics available I usually opt for text-mode, not sure why. In some ridiculous way it's more immersive!
 
maybe it's like a pilot flying in zero visibility, having to rely on the instruments... or like those motion detectors from alien...
 
Imo its simply the darkness that text gives to the game. Imagine playing rogue with grey text on a white background. It doesn't work, does it?

The black background just darkens the whole mood of the game far more than any graphical prettying up can do. Prettying up just puts someone else's imagination into play, and it'll often be less intense than your own. After all, what's actually more worrying - seeing a picture of a dragon someone else has thought up and knowing its going to kill you, or seeing a little "D" appear in your character's vicinity and thinking "Oh shit"?
