They look really cool with style and everything. I'm just asking so I can request images to be colored in the future if possible. If they came from existing images, then Sad

I didn't make them though, they're edited Images from another game.
We should consider getting different ones.

Yeah, definitely.
Do the same editing to original images, if you can get some.
Because those pictures look pretty cool (or the Crypt, at least; I haven't seen the other one yet).

This brings up a good point, though.
I was actually going to "complain" about the credits, and forgot to.

I can't remember all of the things that puzzled me, but here are a few:
-Woodmouse and Chainsaw, among many others, probably, are not mentioned under "modules." I'm not sure either one has any in the game, but they should still be there.
-I'm not under "artwork." There others that should be under there, too, but I can't remember them all. I think the reason for this was that you were only thinking of the module icons. For example, what about Booger? He's done a lot of neat stuff... does he even have a gravestone?!

Ugh, there were more but I forgot them.
Anyway, the point is, anyone who's done anything should be under what they've done.
But an even better system would be to mention each name, and then tell exactly what they did.
It'd take like a paragraph for each person, and take up two to four pages, but I think it'd be much nicer, as it'd automatically answer these questions. It would be very nice for our silent players who don't show up here, too.

Chainsaw and woodmouse is already mentioned under Artwork. You purple are mentioned twice, once under Objects and once under Worth mentioning.

Booger has a gravestone. Booger is also mentioned twice, once for Modules and once for Objects.

Where artwork? Confused

That's what I'm saying.
Why limit the number of times you mention people?

And, really, it's kinda silly to mention them more than once anyway.
I think people should know what the people did.

To me, it's not about who gets mentioned. It's about what gets covered.
I mean, I'm not some crazy stuck-up jerk who's all "Hey, I did this too, don't forget!"
I just want people to know what was done by who so they're not asking questions in their heads, or out loud, or anything.
I get that a lot after playing games. I'll see a name in the credits that I recognize, but what did they do, exactly? I'll never know, and I don't have anyone to ask.

I don't think people are that interested in the credits. And if they are, knowing the names under Artwork or Module making should be enough?

I mentioned some twice because they actually did equal amount of work on two entirely different areas.

But why no more than twice?
Booger did quite a lot of artwork; that's basically all I remember him for. I mean, I know he did other stuff too, but that's what's always stood out to me.

Anyway, if you don't want to do it, I would.
But I don't know what everyone did, so I'd be useless. Razz

...And it really didn't occur to me that everyone isn't exactly like me. Laughing

People really don't care about credits?

Of course people can be mentioned more than twice, but the number of times mentioned should not mean how important one is for the Development or how much work one has done.

It seems I am mentioned under Coding, objects and modules. But module makers always need to make objects, textures and script AI.

But what do you think about redoing it the way I mentioned way up there?
Or actually, maybe that's what the grave stones / end credits are for... hmm.
