After some twelve months of rebuilding publishing workflows, we’re happy to announce an update to Surfing The Deathline. This revision, though subtle, represents a milestone in the long-term serviceability and survival of the work from an archival perspective.
Actual changes:
- Thought bubbles have been redesigned to have a noise pattern edge dither, rather than a smooth gradient. This was to solve an optical illusion / screen rendering artefact where the main white body of the thought bubble appeared to be less bright than the edge of the gradient crossing into it.
- Sound effects have been modified in some places to have larger fonts, consistent colour throughout scenes, and less size variance.
- Correction of a visual glitch caused by CMYK and RGB black having a different tone when the same degree of transparency effects are applied.
These updates have been applied to both the Apple Books versions, and the Golgotha Graphics Direct Editions.
Apple Books versions should show up as available updates within the application. Golgotha Graphics Direct Editions should be available with the original download link received when purchasing the books.
We expect this to be the final set of updates to the work, as it is by any reasonable grounds “complete”, and we’ve exhausted our errata searching. In the next couple of months we will probably discontinue our presence on Apple Books, as we consider it a deprecated platform.
