Salem's Switch V34 [Quenched]

[cairnswk]

I should be back to this one in about a fortnight after RL issues get moved along

Work has started on this one again, finishing land plots, adding large black trees atop buggy stops etc. New version should be finished in a couple of days.

Version 22.
Ground contouring complete, addition of house styles
Because i have changed computers a new font has appeared

That's a nice font, and the grounds look fine. So, are you not adding texture to the Accusers, Accused, Judges, or Reverends, just the Landowners?

Yes i think just the Landowners ender516, although i'm sure about the colours yet.

I've always thought that the text on the legend, or mapboard areas, would look much better with some sort of outline stroke.

Oh yes i have young man, and taking shots of my eyes to put in there were appaulling.
But i will get to them soon, so be patient.

Yes...I am being patient. But do you remember you reminded me to remind you to remember to do them if you didn't remember to do them?

Yes i remember, but i simply haven't made or had the time to to do them, but i am remembering i have to do them.
Thank-you however, for keeping your part.

Version 23
1. Eyes have been fixed, not mine - I didn't have the skill to use my photos and adapt the same as the originals, so these will have to suffice.
2. The map fonts have been highlighted with black backing.

Eyes look good now.

[ender516]

I find the black backing on the fonts too strong, especially under the names of the Accusers. I much prefer any of the looks on Version 22, where the backing was lighter (see Ann Putnam Jr) or where there was no backing at all (Ezekial Cheever, William Hobbs). Granted, with white text, it may be better with a backing than without (compare Ann Putnam Jr with Edward Putnam), but really, the text without the backing works well enough, and you could use a dark text for the Accusers (Johnathon Putnam).

ender516, i did the whole lot in response to above from Andy, I have not done the legend areas.
Perhaps those accusers only need the backing text lightened as you say, i'll see.
I'd prefer to have some consistency with the front text being all white, so the background will have to be manipulated.
