I will try to surprise you.
I had a long time idea to do something with the extended background color character mode, as it may have huge benefits on the shading.
Till today no PRG supports this Plus/4 mode.

As you now, only the first 64 chars can be used, but you have 4 different background color (bloody linking bit... limits the colors or the charset a lot)

So I decided to test the mode on C64. I do not know, how many people tried it before for creating a picture.

Today I made my first extended background charset (only first 64 char allowed) and made my very first extended background "PETSCII"
I tried to be as close to the original PETCSII as possible, but made two fine new dithering style, the fine pattern and the fine cross dithering pattern (from all directions).

Here we are (first draft before going to finilaze the details), below the original from Darksiders.
You can imagine the possibilities with a Plus/4 palette...

Still fits to Halloween, right? happy
