Old School Adventure update 2
Things are progressing well for Old School Adventure. All the levels are complete, and the final coat of polish is being added before submitting the game for peer review. All going well, Old School Adventure will be available on Xbox Live Indie Games by the end of September.
The graphical design in Old School Adventure is quite simple, and one of the risks is that players dismiss the game before even playing it based on that. I've had great feedback from fellow XBLIG developers on subtle tweaks to improve the quality of the graphics, and I'm happy with the results. Check out a before and after shot of the same room.
Before:
Background and foreground colors are the same
After:
Blurred and darkened background add depth, textured rocks
