Light Mode
-
Basically, what this mode is, is that it involves brightness.
Say you made a c-4 bomb, and as soon as it explodes the bomb gets really bright, like a glint or something.
Another example would be a powerful nuclear bomb. As soon as it explodes, the screen gets really bright, somewhat blinding us. I think it would make the game much more fun and realistic. -
How exactly would this make the game more fun? I understand that it would make it look better, but graphics have never made a game more fun.
And how exactly would you turn this on/off? The options menu is more for compatibility settings, and the number keys are already full...
Otherwise, I think it is a great idea. Especially if you can set the minimum brightness...
(stickman maze in a pitch black cave with only a couple torches for light, anyone?) -

Now please tell me that graphics hasn't made this game much better! I have the game and the GRAPHICS ARE BEAST!
@ DatJerk I support you all the way dude! -
I tried to make a light display.
I accidentally broke the SHIFT+CLICK somehow. -
Cool idea, but it would cause insane lag. Even right now, the distortion in fancy display from Newtownian gravity slows TPT down significantly. I'm getting about 32 FPS for this save in nothing view, and only 10 FPS in fancy. I have a slower computer, but still, it runs over 3x faster without graphics effects.534865View Save 534865
(Make sure Newtonian Gravity is on.) -
@dragonf0rce: I see what you mean. I go from 260 to 66 fps with that save.
@omegasupreme, @datjerk: I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying that the graphics aren't necessarily everything... For example, I would play that Atomic Cannon game regardless of the graphics (I love that type of game :D)
My point was that the graphics usually are not as big a part of the "fun factor" of a game, compared to gameplay, replayability, etc. Good graphics certainly is a plus, but should never be the best thing about a game, nor the developers' main focus.
I certainly am for this idea, its just that I'm not sure its as useful as you all think.
EDIT: and to counter omegasupreme: my favorite (flash) game EVAR :P
