Re: [Help-liquidwar6] Team graphic ... resurrected idea

[Christian Mauduit]

Hey, cool Kasper! I like the idea of characters with "strong black 
silhouettes". Dunno how it combines exactly with raw sketches, but it's 
surely quite straightforward to use such graphics for menu character 
selection and/or in-game cursors. I agree each character should have a 
"leader" aspect.

Have a nice day,

Christian.

PS: I plan a bug-fix release for late February / early March.
PPS: Thinking of your 1st mail, I find it strange Dr Blue looks like an 
insect and is slow -> I'd expect some insect-like char to be both 
super-fast & weak ;)
PPPS: feel free to re-arrange "combos" with characteristics, speed, 
strength, special attacks, whatever, if you find good characters ideas, 
let's just map the physical "real" technical features to match the 
story, the latter is more important IMHO.
