With the help of Dutch artist, Kay Lousberg, Above the Fold finally has character art to replace the stick person aesthetic that was there before. I am sure you can agree, that this adds a ton of character to the game. Pun possibly intended.
I have attempted to make this patch backwards compatible, but due to a data loss in the middle of development, I haven't been able to verify if the latest changes still work. Said data loss was also the reason this patch took a little bit longer to finish than expected, but I think the wait was worth it.
Changes in Alpha 9.3
- Character art! All reporters have their own procedurally generated look.
- Mouse over reporters on the map to see their current quote pop up
- The news ticker no longer displays nonsense headlines
- Instead, the news ticker repeats some info and tips throughout the game day
- The sidebar on the map was tweaked to accomodate the new sprites
- Several minor bugs were fixed - check if yours was one of them, and if not, leave a comment!
