Background mod?
« on: September 06, 2008, 09:09:31 am »
I was thinking there should be an add-on that would allow you to change the color or texture of the background.  So, instead of black, gray, or white, we could have blue, yellow, red, and so on.  We could even load in an image of an otherworldly landscape and use it as a background.

That sounds pretty cool. I would think the background for grey mode is a texture, so there might be a way to change it.

I've wanted this to be added in the game since it came out. Dylan, PLEASE consider this one.

its a reaaaaly old pic from audiosurf :p
http://www.audio-surf.com/beta
please note that the beta is long over, so signing up for the mailing list at bestgameever.com wont do squat ;)

i like the mood that the older screenshots set. more like you were cruising around in some dreary, foggy world. doesnt mean i dont love the current theme, but this wouldve been cool i think

Thanks for pulling that up. I still like some of the old looks as well.

OMG I looove the second lane with the lights on the middle of the second pic!

Why didn't you keep the second lane for DV, Dylan?

The highway looks so awesome. I wish it was the look of Audiosurf. Though it's good the way it is, better performance most probably.

The extra lanes for oncoming traffic didn't serve much purpose. Mostly they just made it harder to see the upcoming highway off in the distance. It doesn't work all that well for DV either since the camera would have to be so far back to keep both vehicles in view (or splitscreen or networked multi).

I like.

Also, if you still have those old themes, send them. I absolutely love the ships and the way the blocks are on the beta page.

Yep, just thought about that when I wrote my message >.<

Another thing I love is the light of the fire/whatever that is the ship launches when it speeds up ^^
