CS2D General Why CS2D does not look like this? Captione has written
@ CaneCorso: If CS2D is made out of 8-bit graphics, then all the colors of the game would be only eight. Like Pacman or Space Invaders. More like 24-bit or 16-bit (Depends on how you save the color of an image file).
holy shit you have no idea what you're talking about
Cs2d is a 8bit game i see many people dont have a clue about games etc. If cs2d would be a 8bit game it would look and sound like super mario bros. for example.

8 bit (this means 8 bit / 1 byte to express the color of a pixel) can even give you 256 different colors.

CS2D is obviously using 32 bit colors (it has a fallback option to run with 16 bit though). This means you have even 4 bytes to express the color of a pixel. One for reg, one for green, one for blue and one for the transparency.
So CS2D's look isn't limited color-wise.
Forgive me.
how is useful his product. In our case, it is style and design in which CS2D is done.
As far as I know its graphics and sound were made by DC without any invitation of artists or sound engineer.
I think that maybe sometime later, when CS2D will be a commercial product, DC will invite someone to change its design to more cool and realistic.
Like as other programms and goods, CS2D allows you to change it and configured to have maximum enjoyment of its gameplay. So my(and other users) mods/skins/etc change standart CS2D skins and gameplay "to have maximum enjoyment of its gameplay".
I create my files(and my life) based on wises saying of one man:

And I advise you to do the same.
I apologize for my bad english.

Wait...what?
I think DC won't make it commercial or something like that. Is not necessary for him to make it commercial just to invite someone to change the design of this game to more realistic.
I'm also not planning any major updates for CS2D. There will be minor fixes and improvements but no major changes like changing all the graphics or like completely changing the map format. This has several reasons:
I like the game the way it is (simple, small, casual)
I don't want to break existing maps/mods/scripts
CS2D is based on a pretty limited engine (BlitzMax). This is not the right foundation for a game with state of the art graphics / light effects / shaders.
I MIGHT do another game like CS2D and use another, more powerful engine (like Unity) but everyone knows that I'm currently busy with my no 1. priority game Stranded III so this is only a possible plan for distant future.
@ DC: its will be great to make a heavys updates which u add more cool things US users got Millions ideas , you only need to act and ask for ideas which u would make
