RELEASE NOTES
I've had requests for a dolphin screensaver for a long time, but have never really gotten around to it. So after I finished my last project I wasn't sure what to do next, and I figured it was time to do a nifty dolphin screensaver.
This one has 2 modes. You can watch the dolphins jumping and flipping in the ocean, or on your desktop screen with your windows and whatnot in the background. This is basically because I couldn't decide which one to do, so I did both and made them into one big screensaver. Aren't you lucky?
I was mainly concerned with the dolphins when I made this. I wanted them to flip and jump nicely, and I wanted them to look cool themselves. I think that's all turned out really well. I also wanted to have the sky and jumping dolphins reflected in the water surface, which I think turned out pretty cool aswell. But I had to make some sacrifices with the water itself. I think it looks great as is, but I also realise it doesn't look realistic the way it moves and splashes. I decided this looked good, and still runs well on most systems. Making the water any more realistic would really kill it on most peoples systems, so I'd rather it works for more people instead of just the few who can afford a fantastic machine. Besides, for more it's more about the dolphins, and I think it's just fun to watch them jump!
As always, if you spot any bugs or anything, let me know!
Enjoy!
