1.1.1
1.1.0: Spelling Reform
Terminal Blues: A POWDER Tileset in CP437
Update 1.1: Spelling Reform
Summary of changes since 1.0:
- Revamped most of the spell icons
- New custom fonts: Blightbulb and Eclipse
- Support for colourblind: the True Blues series
- Aesthetic coherence? Cohesion? Consistency?
- Increased visibility, reduced eyestrain
The tileset (with the equipment version) is available in 3 compression extensions for different systems.
Extra alphabets are provided as an extra download.
1.1.0-beta.1
That is it, all spells done!
The binaries will be available in tarball, zip and 7z forms, and extra alphabets are now an extra download.
1.1.0-alpha.4: Tritone
In this episode of the True Blues inanimated series, we are going to introduce the last character to the roster: Tritoma, who can potentially increase visibility of the tileset for those suffering from Tritanopia/Tritanomaly.
In other news, the Spelling Reform is almost complete! Remaining spells (6) have been marked with bright green ink (which will be rendered black in-game).
1.1.0-alpha.3: Moonshine
This new shiny patch comes with a new font replacing Heavy: Eclipse! (Cloning should have a more recent version of the font!)
(Where the hell is Leafletter?)
(!) Note that some spell icons are still missing, particularly those of Undead, Earth and Fire elements, as well as a few other ones.
1.1.0-alpha.2: A Bit Smaller
In this alpha, we are introducing a big change to the UI icons, making their borders a bit smaller to be consistent with inventory slots, which results in more real estate and symmetry for the spells.
There have also been a few changes to the palettes, with both the Blues and Protea cutting down three bits of each colour channel (to 5-bit), so now what you see in the master file is what you see in-game, as well as a few changes to increase contrast in Protea, and porting some past changes over from Blues to Protea.
(!) Note that some spell icons are still missing, particularly those of Undead, Earth and Fire elements, as well as a few other ones.
1.1.0-alpha.1: Hopefully
In this version, we are introducing a new variant: Protea from the True Blues. She will aid whom with protanopia/protanomaly, with questionable results, and looks like butt to normal eyes too. But help her out. Send feedback and issue and help all over the place.
(!) Note that some spell icons are still missing, particularly those of Undead, Earth and Fire elements. And from this version onwards, binaries will be available for download, with only the tileset and without any source.
