I really enjoy comparing how do places look during daytime and night in games with a day-night cycle. Perhaps especially hi-res EGA games, because they have such lush graphics... I was very curious about how could Genesta's island look at night, but I couldn't get there. Rosella just can't seem to reach the island, gets tired and drowns. I also tried some debug, but, if I remember well, the game crashed when I tried it. Maybe someone could confirm if it is or isn't possible to get there at night?

That sounds very Sierra. Should we pay someone to recolour this location for nighttime? No, just throw a line of code in that kills the player instead.

You know, it sounds almost like a challenge... I'm a total amateur - I don't have sophisticated image programs, can't even use new Paint and actually prefer good old Paint XP (a Windows 7-compatible version exists especially for those who can't figure out new Paint) - but I can draw a bit in Paint and maybe I could try doing a night version of an island scenery. But how do I post it here if I create it?

just put the image in a dropbox or google drive directory and give us a shared link to it.
