Wow, nobody told me Sierra's internal tools for their SCI games were floating around the internet! PE (Pic Edit) was used to create the vector backgrounds of the SCI0 games. 1/

The initial '88 SCI0 release of KQ4 has separate scenes for the day/night cycle. Whereas the '89 version only include a single background and use overlays/sprites to change the appearance to save space.

Palette swapping is not leveraged at all for the early-gen SCI0 games.

Even though my SCI0 picture viewer does undithering *purely* because I'm a lazy hack who took the easier way out, that still doesn't solve gotchas like Larry 3 picture 265 that draw their own dither patterns by hand.

The high angle near buildings is something the game uses a lot to help cheat perspective. SCI0 sprites don't scale into the bg, so building wall screens have a high angle to make them not disappear into the horizon. This is less a problem with trees because trees can be any size.

1. Jones in the Fast Lane is absolutely an SCI game! It's not just for adventure games, considering the Hoyle series.

2. I can find no indications of localized Jones releases, but I do know this: while the SCI0 games did have their background art translated...

Instead of using SCI0-style vector drawing commands to paint in the priority map, SCI2 games would import their backgrounds Z-layer by Z-layer, specifying the depth in pixels instead of bands.
