as like I said, the PC does not appear transparent for me
Have you tried running the mod in fullscreen?
#020202 tends to sometimes just be invisible in fullscreen

Hmm, no I haven't. I didn't know that could cause problems. Lemme check.

After checking, Fullscreen is only taking up 1/4 of the screen in the top right with the rest of the screen solid grey, but it still does not cause any problems for me.

If that's what it looked like in fullscreen, then you have to do the following:
Right-click on Doukutsu.exe, select properties, click on the "Compatibility" tab, tick "Run in 640x480 resolution", and hit OK. Do not have this set if running the game in windowed mode.
If you don't it's not properly running the game in fullscreen

And different tools could possibly have an effect on transparency, as IIRC, bitmaps sort of have different types based on bits per pixel and different tools might save the file one of those certain "types" by default. Sometimes you might also draw a color that the bitmap "type" doesn't "support", and end up with the wrong color and some corruption when saving.

I however don't know a ton about image formats so I could be totally wrong

I got the impression the mod was finished.
I've changed the thread so that now it states the version of the mod that you're downloading.

Nice choice. Also, using a tad brighter black can help with using black and it not be transparent in-game.

Yeah, in the latest version of the mod the colors are brighter.

So I've checked out the new demo,
p219542-0-nhq7dct.png

the window.rect, orgview, and the EXE that doen't work past the first "memory" are unneeded (the error file was made when I found that out)

p219542-1-stiodfp.png

I remember it like it was yesterday, the birds were singing, the sky was blue, and the CSTSF was an active place...

p219542-2-xjyklef.png

Qoute, you feeling okay? You're looking a little pale.

p219542-3-gnieoy4.png

I get how the other platform was connected to the island's bottom, but what is holding this up? where exactly does this door lead to? there is nothing but air behind it.

p219542-4-ui9hcog.png

Easy come, easy go.

p219542-5-4uzjcmc.png

Lemme take a guess...

p219542-6-ozpuwxc.png

Yep, one hit death. I knew it!

also the game over music continues to play a little bit after you restart

p219542-7-yoodoa5.png

Have you tried the esc botton?

p219542-8-ajaqf21.png

Your crew? are you telling me this thing is a captain?

p219542-9-4swdj93.png

your not much of a captain if you go saying stuff like this. its no wonder your crew wanted you to go first

p219542-10-xblog9f.png

Maybe I'll survive if I accidentally fall into the lava. Maybe this is all just a dream. Maybe there is a door next to you.

p219542-11-ya9hhgv.png

I am right here, and I am okay

p219542-12-lhzdlf8.png

ok, the 3 red critters are really hard to avoid

p219542-13-rtchyjn.png

somehow, I made it past them

p219542-14-khlyito.png

If only I was given echo location by my human makers, especially since I was sent to an island full of CAVES.

p219542-15-4milmwu.png

captain wuss puss also happens to not be equipped for caves

p219542-16-z7ggll2.png

But where is here?

p219542-17-hrvvonm.png

probably left taking along whatever vessel you were in charge of.

p219542-18-weje2yt.png

you are, I think I might be able to jump over the barricade to the right.

p219542-19-1lyskx7.png

p219542-20-1nigjmp.png

sad, but true.

p219542-21-xxsvaqk.png

I'm sure if I was dead, I wouldn't feel either.

p219542-22-sr8gxil.png

Interestingly enough, our memory is not a picture perfect storage and our memories actually change over time.

p219542-23-68t67wk.png

It could have been the real one, we could be having our life flash before our eyes and the only reason we think it looks fake is because we don't want to accept the fact that we have just died.

p219542-24-5dlwy7y.png

ok, I guess we survived

p219542-25-l48hgtd.png

that and grass is growing out of him now

p219542-26-axguebu.png

who me? I find that offensive. I'm a lover, not a killer.

p219542-27-hfq0zt4.png

Insulting people and then hiding. Rude!

Fine. you wanna be like that then goodbye

p219542-28-oqmyfwx.png

oh good, a save point

p219542-29-tixcuyk.png

that is still vanilla

p219542-30-y6s4jdf.png

am I gonna fall off?

p219542-31-tmeabov.png

No? okay, good this is intentional. I wonder where it leads to?

p219542-32-95gxlte.png

is it going to-

p219542-33-jfjq3fr.png

oh...

p219542-34-puzyjdt.png

yes that is quite true... I'm a more kill 'em with kindness sort of fellow

p219542-35-xpyzrf0.png

I'm the one without the gun here, you don't hear me saying that.

p219542-36-qz4sxe9.png

p219542-37-imnhi3b.png

that looks more like a box, but I'll take it

p219542-38-39yft9j.png

Fuck.

p219542-39-wufqcxv.png

that just looks like the polar star

p219542-40-vxc84jf.png

well, at least I have a last resort.

p219542-41-pci3p06.png

oh, it is the polar star

p219542-42-vdnmydm.png

you can fall off the map if you're not careful

p219542-43-qxlwq27.png

p219542-44-igks6by.png

it ain't funny though

p219542-45-yucjfav.png

so was this supposed to just give me a false sense of security?

p219542-46-ova7fje.png

this is easier than the lava and the red critters

p219542-47-e60ajo1.png

you know, if someone lands in there they can't get out or die.

p219542-48-nzghj1d.png

oh, this place is just unfinished.

usually you want to block off this kind of area or have something saying "nothing to see here folks!" or something like that to let people know not to go here.

p219542-28-oqmyfwx.png

back here to see what I've missed

p219542-50-308p4qk.png

MIAOU

p219542-51-wg2hf1j.png

you can retrigger this event as many times as you want

p219542-52-du1xzxq.png

you know what, I'll give you a chance. maybe if I show you some compassion, you'll be more open minded

p219542-53-ei5pvbc.png

No? Oh well... bye!

p219542-54-wcia5v6.png

I surrender!

p219542-55-ljrg1cg.png

does my scrawny build look of that of a killer?

p219542-56-csoa5p2.png

no, but I'll take it if its here

p219542-57-cqqvqxx.png

story of my life.

p219542-58-g15fxwj.png

can you warp me away then, the way I came from disappeared

p219542-59-ueouoen.png

there's always a catch, isn't there?

p219542-60-rv8z2u4.png

a war between magic people and scrawny androids? that stuff only happens in video games... oh wait...

p219542-61-f1wqqr7.png

Goodbye cruel world...

p219542-62-urosmn1.png

not bad for a new modder, I think you should work a bit on the level design a bit, ot many people like platforming with single blocks or enemies that kill you in one hit that are hard to avoid.

over all keep up the good work.
