A womans work is never done…

After a request from Silly Tuna over at NewRetro I thought I’d have a go at putting together a hi-vis version of War Twat. The original request was for a version of the game that could be played by folks who are colour blind, but I figured whilst I’m at it I’ll go the whole hog and do a high contrast version of the game.

It would have been a five minute job just to make a few changes but with the visuals tightly bound to the game then some changes throw the balance right off. Essentially, I had to tinker with War Twat so that you could actually see more things but it was still War Twat.

The game should, in theory, still be as difficult and blinding as ever. Or at least, I hope so. If not, it’s back to the drawing board. Anyway, none of this will make it into the next official version for a while so in the meantime if you want a version of War Twat that’s high on contrast and low on polyunsaturates then clicketh the linketh below:

    I’ve not played this version, but didn’t the grey background decrease contrast?

    Ahar! But in order to achieve high contrast, there has to be something to contrast against… :-)

    I could have just blacked out the background, but then it’d start taking away from the visual effects.

    It’s a toughie to explain, I’ll try and get a post up about it over the next couple of days if I get time inbetween the last minute compo rush stuff.

    I can’t say I completely understand.. a mid grey would have lower contrast against white and black.

    Unless it’s because everything is outlined in black?

    Is it wrong for me to like this game? Only reason I ask is because you said “It’s a reactionary game at its heart.” Nah! Seriously really do like this game. Cheers. Donation on its way soon.

    Glad you enjoyed it! :-)

    Makes it all worthwhile that does.
