Old Platform Builder Graphics

[TingThing]

Hi everyone,


In a previous announcement, I mentioned that Platform Builder would be getting new graphics, and that the old graphics would still be available as a legacy option. After some experiments in development, I came to realize that the amount of effort required (not to mention storage space) to include two interchangeable sets of graphics would be far too much effort and time. Instead I will be using that time and energy toward other much-needed features of Platform Builder 9.


Instead of a legacy option, I will be releasing most (possibly all) of the old graphics for free which can be imported into Platform Builder Pro. I also have a stand-alone character designer which can be used to export character sprite sheets.


I apologize for speaking ahead of myself about the legacy option. Still, I am confident that the new graphics coming out are superior to the old ones, and I think you will agree. I'm really excited to share some of them with you all within a week or two on the coming soon page!


Cheers,
TingThing

The only disappointing thing is that you didn't make 'em.

that makes me a bit sad, because I liked the idea of Legacy graphics. but it makes sense why you're removing them

Don't care of the graphics, the most important is that you can focus on adding new stuff.

If what you're doing makes PB better, I don't mind really what it is.

As long as we can use all of the original graphics still, I'm happy.
