Hi!

I know I'm not part of the team any more, but I would like to say that you guys are doing great. It's very cool to follow this and see it come together piece by piece. Keep it up!

To your last post, ganderoleg, yes, the effect does look great. Keep it. However, it should be tweaked more. It's too bright. Also, I think the green and red lights are a little overdone. They look a little unnatural. Mabye just reduce the palette a little?
Here's a few screens from a platformer I liked very much, Trine:

They use a lot of colors, but not so much complementaries and more subtle colors.

Keep it up!
