So they could either use whatever vector-based tools they had and then convert the result to bitmap, or directly use bitmap-based tools and just mimic the style.

That's for backgrounds. The character sprites are always bitmap-based, so the only difference between making those in EGA vs VGA is how many colors you have available.

I think it would have been more of a headache to do EGA graphics in a VGA game. Because everything - except Wilco - would have to be EGA. And I feel like that would have been tedious. (Funny, yes, but tedious)

adeyke wrote:The SQ1 you visit is already EGA, and the characters from SQ1 (bartender and performers) are also EGA. As it stands, only Roger and the bikers are VGA. I don't think it's a huge leap to go from that to having only Roger be VGA. Though, like I said, coming up with an actual scenario of the kind I would have wanted to see would still be a challenge.

Meanwhile, one copy escaped and went on to star in several sequels. A slave to his original programming with no memory of what he really is, this rogue Larry wandered the Earth, obsessively seeking love in all the wrong places until the end of LSL7 where the aliens finally located and recovered him.

And Datadog shattered the universe by predicting WDDD! And I further shattered the universe by not only replying to this dusty topic, but also by beginning a sentence with 'And' :p
