[Project] LF2 Widescreen

[Boop]

I've decided to lock this topic, because people are incapable of posting something which might help me and I hate getting my hopes up every time I see a new post in here.

Here is a demo exe of a widescreen version: http://www.mediafire.com/?ztajdddlijd

Version 2: http://www.mediafire.com/?ommm5iwzwgm (fixed the name bug)

Feel free to play around, maybe create widescreen bg's or something.

I'm still working on it, if you have any good suggestions then PM me. If it won't let you PM me(because I'm ignoring you), then it means I've already decided that your suggestions aren't helpful .

Today nave was bothering me about how to stretch the lf2 screen slightly(so that people couldn't take screenshots and rip sprites), and while I was figuring it out, I found out how to change the screen size without stretching it(which surprisingly is actually easier ).

So now I got the idea to make lf2 wide screen. Now I'm wondering a few things:

1) Is anyone interested?
2) What size/aspect ratio do you think would be suitable
3) I was thinking about removing the top health bar, and then drawing the health under the characters (similar to hero fighter) do you think this is a good idea?

No health bar on top(normal aspect ratio):

lol, awesome idea

oh ya, and moving the hp bars below the char'd be great

I don't like HF's hp/mp/stm bars under the char, but okay I don't care as long as others want it

Looks like LF2 HD
Really, really cool idea; you have my support.
About the health bars: i'm kinda used to having them at the top and all at the same place, it's more organized that way imo...
And a question: How is this gonna affect background DCing (i mean parallax scrolling)?

I like the widescreen idea, but I'm totally agaisnt the bars below the chars.

What I have up to now, still not perfect but I did fix a lot of things (which you probably won't notice since they actually work now ).

For all "developers" which want to experiment and see what changes will have to be made to the bgs and what not.

Silva Perfect!
Whit Widescreen the stage is more sideways and upwards, Amazing!
The under bar is great!

Did you make the aspect ratio 16:9/16:10? Those are the general widescreen ratios.

[Som1Lse]

Awesome idea.
I think the aspect ratio would be 1.6 or something like that.
And HUD below the chars would be great.
