That menu shot looks very dark.  I'd brighten it up a bit, make it easier to read.

Any updates on this great project? The Menu screen-cap you provided on the previous page does look a little dark, maybe there are lightning in it from thunder? (if your menu are that advanced, that is) Anyway, the design of it looks absolutely beautiful as your previous menu. :) By looking at the list on the huge amount of work you're doin, I'm drooling in anticipation!

We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

Any updates on this project? I'm a big ED fan as you can tell by my avatar and this looked like it was coming out to be a fantastic edit.

This is currently unfinished as I've recently moved house, and will not likely be done anytime soon, but I did complete a number of the main elements to be included on this release; 

  • Book Of The Dead Theatrical Restoration (With original un-mixed mono audio track)
  • New restored version of Within The Woods (With 2nd isolated score audio track)
  • A composite VHS/DVD edit of The Incredibly Strange Film Show
  • The static main menu screen, although this needs more work

I have authored the first two of these on to one dual layer DVD (without menus) just to allow them to be played in a DVD player, but other than that, it's just on the back burner at the moment. You might well think from the above 'that's the project basically done, why not just slap it together', but the remaining elements require so much more work to do the whole thing justice. I'd rather do the whole thing properly, or not at all, rather than make a half assed effort at it and release something I'm not 100% happy with.

It was only available for trade, but I believe that the maker is currently holding off on trades. Heard this awhile ago, I'm curious if things may have changed.
