Brightness

Tim James:
I really appreciate this engine that lets me use ASCII-like graphics fullscreen on my LCD monitor. But please figure out a way to make the colors a little brighter or easier to see. I'm getting a bid of a headche squinting at the screen. I assume some of that is for mood and atmosphere so do what you can.

I didn't see a news thread for this game anywhere. Should I expect a new version within 6-12 months? Early beta for donators?

Hello there!  AliensRL is still undergoing development, and will have a release soon, but Kornel needs some feedback on the community on what he should release next (and thus focus energy on giving the next release RL some polish).  If you haven't voted yet, you should express your preference for AliensRL here to let him know.

I'm not Kornel, so I can't say what he has planned, but I think that when we have a larger support base for AliensRL, we can expand the AliensRL forum to support more features just like how the DoomRL community is having now.

Thanks for your interest and feedback!  =)

Your terminal colors are defined by the operating system, any game that uses the terminal can only pick between the colors the terminal is using. You should be able to redefine them in your terminal config. You didn't give an OS, so I can't give more specific advice here.

Alternatively, you may find a colors definition file in your game folder. I know DoomRL has it, not sure about AliensRL. You may be able to shuffle the colors around to brighter ones if you play with it.

You are wrong man. AliensRL got a non-console version some time ago, and this one is really dark (and somewhat troublesome to play).
I think I have mentioned about the issue few times, let us hope it will be tweaked.

Alternatively, there is a (pseudo?) console executable available here:

You could always change the sprite sheet.... >.> Which is totally not helpful at all.

You are correct that the darkness is for atmosphere, but we will see what can happen. Well, unless it's decided that the character is short sighted and half blind to explain the darkness. :D
