Beware the volatile!
As many of you know, I rarely play modern games. The closest would be Tales of Maj'Eyal, Serious Sam Fusion, and Diablo 3. However, Steam had a £2 deal so I succumbed and bought Dying Light which has been on my wishlist for years. It's ace and I love its open-world aspect - I can do whatever, whenever I like.
But why am I boring you with such pointless information? Well, I made a wallpaper background for my Atari ST and figured it was rude not to share. Simple as that really. Also, I hope it appeals to fans of the game? And inspires you to develop your own background. Hey, don't forget to share it with me :)

Dying Light - ©TechlandFor those interested, this image conversion was easy to do. After reducing the screenshot to ST-happy resolutions, I converted the JPG to PI1 (Degas Elite). This was done using the fantastic Imagecopy. I then configured Deskpic to improve our glorious GEM desktop with its new backgroud - it even looks good in medium res!
You can find more of my (ahem) talented creations right here. I also have a scene page on the wonderful Demozoo (something that never ceases to amaze me).
Okay, let's see some 16-colour images of my ST running Dying Light... ;-)
I'm just out of the Tower and ready to take a running jump...
Zombie attacks and regrets it. I lopped off its head, of course!
The next zombie gets hit and electrified like an old cartoon nasty.
This one could have been better but it shows a zombie that's about to eat lead.
I'm on a roof and a zombie was stupid enough to attack me and my modified blade.
The grappling hook is a tremendous way to zoom about town!
The final gameplay image is in two parts. Check out this zombie guy...
...what a fool. He was no match for me and my trusty fire blade. <insert evil laugh>
And finally, we have the GEM desktop running in medium resolution. Pretty cool imho.
Are any of you ST Nutters also playing Dying Light?
Where is "GREEN" ?
ReplyDeleteThe only GREEN makes it possible !
.
I don't know how to add GFX here so this is link to Tweeter with uploaded corrected desktop with text Dying Light in GREEN: https://x.com/Miesiu01/status/1863738722887381106
I saw that, pretty cool conversion! TBH, I often wonder what Atari were thinking with that green. As much as I love the ST, the first thing I do is change that green to something less eye-busting!
DeleteEven in mono ;-)
But #GREEN is like LOGO.
DeleteCan someone explain why the most Users describe trash-bin as Amiga - just similar computer - instead of PC ?
I know, a good "logo" :) But I still change it, usually to a darker green or falcon-like blue ish
DeleteThe trash can is Amiga for obvious reasons that are funny. It's just banter and nothing more. Sometimes I call it "DOS"
