				RE: Those sexy 2D slopes... 
				 
					Yeh I used to have that sort of position -and had I continued on with that project (they wanted SYW done and dusted ... and then the publisher wanted me working on another project that was more than just graphics)... so basically I basically elected to move on. 
 
Anyways, in that position, I can guarantee you that I sure as hell would have pushed for having elevation changes as part of the coding like many of that publisher's other series. And to be fair, I don't even know if it was allowed as an option when Mike was working with this.  
 
I would have, at the time, done this for exactly the same reason that you've noted. . . however, for me, that particular role and the ability to get heard has sailed awhile ago.
