Proposal of new Speedy Blupi features

Recreation of game graphics

The 3D editor Blender may be used to create the 3D models again and to render the game graphics again.

New game graphics will be double the size.

Gimp or Inkscape may be used too

New types of transport

Submarine

• Allows Blupi to explore underwater areas.
• Equipped with torpedoes to destroy underwater obstacles or enemies.
• Can only stay underwater for a limited time before needing to surface for air.

Hot Air Balloon

• Blupi can navigate above levels, but it moves slowly and is affected by wind currents and fans.
• Players must use burners sparingly to control altitude, balancing fuel.

Glider

• Lets Blupi glide from high places, useful for exploring or avoiding hazards below.
• Can catch air currents for extended gliding.

Level editor improvements

Features will be inspired by X-Edit, X-Edit-Mapper, BlupiEdit and tiled-blupi

New directory IMAGE

24 bit graphics (BMP or PNG)

Support for mods - external directories or compressed archives with:

1. worlds in directory data (mandatory)
2. alternative graphics in directories IMAGES08 or IMAGES16 or IMAGE24 OR IMAGES16X2 OR IMAGES24X2 (optional)
