and one last thing , Holy....... do you really think I am that one sided......... I mean one room houses, please...... my sets have WALLS and tee joints NO OTHER SETS HAVE, so yes my sets ARE multi-rommed.......bottom pic has 3 SEPERATE rooms......... so know your facts before you ever call me onesided........

I don't think anything, and I did not call you one sided or anything. I think you overreact to your own detriment, but that's your problem, not mine. I think those screenshots look much better. You had not shown anything that allowed for other than rectangular shapes before afaik. But yes that's what I was hoping for.

I understand if you want to have better graphics, though I don't think that is necessary at all. As long as the graphics are not too difficult for others to reproduce that is fine. However I wish you would not suck the soul out of Som by not using any of its pieces. So I hope very much at some point you will consider giving as many of the assets that come with Som a face lift so at some point we can put all of your graphics up alongside Som's stuff in a database. I have no problem with different styles (texture/polygon resolution etc.) I just think it's important that we be consistent so a community will be able to coalesce that isn't just a loose confederation of leftover game artwork tossed in a big pile. Like I would like to see all of the Som stuff available in first gen Som, second gen Som, KF1/2/3/4 flavor etc. And even sets like your house backported to match the Som graphics. I know if/when I finish any game it will be 90% original Som assets and the remaining assets will have to fit in with the Som stuff perfectly. That said if people make matching versions of all the assets in the game it could be up to the player what they want (by changing out the different styles) I just think in order to remain legitimate we owe something to the legacy of Som, and that means honoring the original graphics as much as possible every step along the way.

EDITED: And just for the record graphical fidelity is fine. But what's more important is quality. I'd rather listen to good music on an old vinyl recording than bad music at compact disc sampling rates. And fidelity itself can even be very subjective. I prefer the more abstract visuals I'm quite sure. I prefer KF2 to KF4 visually on all fronts more or less. So please think twice before doing anything radical like giving all your NPCs eyeballs. This is the legacy of KF afte all. Even Todd's cyclops did not have an eyeball. We have to draw the line somewhere
