We have finally managed to add support for all graphics to be Higher Color in CG. This means that the same thing can be done with all the graphics that is done with the tiles by Dreams.
Examples:

Great news! I really wanted this to be possible!
But now arrises the big question again: white keen or skin-color keen? haha
I will start working on VGA vorticons soon! |

I just played BirdMan and thought to myself "hmm, if that old man is skin-coloured, why ain't Keen?" But, if the majority wants to keep Keen white, then keep him. _________________

I just inverted Keen for that one.
I think that adding a minute amount of skin tone wouldn't hurt keen, but not enough that it was very visible.
I just can't wait to see what Dreams comes up with for all of the original Trilogy. This will make those 3 games new again! |

How about both, simultaneously?

| I agree, very nice! But hey, maybe this could be an option in the main menu? Or if that would be too much to implement, maybe two different versions of the supporting graphics files? |

Why another option? I don't get it. If you want to use the hq sprites, copy them to the gamedata dir, or leave them alone
I'm glad Pizza got that working |

Indeed! Racial Keen, but what options should we have? White, black, brown, yellow? I'm sure we can offend everyone, if only we try. _________________ What you really need, not what you think you ought to want. |
