The way you handled the newspaper rasterization looks great, with the clean monochrome and hand-tweaked art.
I’m not sure the crease marks are necessary when they’re scrolling by sideways, perfectly lined up. The animation reminds me of similar effects in movies, where the newspapers are from microfilm or otherwise synthetically clean.
Maybe if they were presented in other contexts, like a diner, newsstand, or somebody’s hands? I’m not sure that would make sense for the game, but a crease wouldn’t feel out of place there.
Or maybe if the newspapers had varying angles and some overlap, so it looked a little more haphazard like a camera panning over a library table.
Love these posts!
