WorldSpawn official WIP thread

[MadGypsy]

sorry that took more than a second. I forgot about a glitch in cs6 regarding filtered sprites nested in filtered sprites when I last closed it. I just opened it up and it had completely flattened my parent sprite to a symbol. No way to reverse that so I had to take all the assets and put the whole thing together again. Luckily, that's all I had to do was put it back together. Anyway...



IDK, I think the black looks better. Also, I'm not sure what to do about this nest problem. It's just gonna do it again when I close it and breaking this apart isn't an option. Well, worst case scenario, I'll just have to put it together again every time I need to mess with it, which should be almost never so....

[MadGypsy]

I FINALLY found the proper balance! Tell me if you agree. I am like the hardest person on earth to please and this pleases me.


and goodbye stupid red ghetto crosshair too ->

sidenote - if anyone ever uploads an image to imgur that is so small that you can't get the img link due to it falling outside the image bounds and disappearing before you can click share...I solved that shit. Simply grab and drag your little bitty image with the mouse, forcing the page to "freeze", and when your mouse is over the menu that you couldn't get to, release the mouse. Now that your mouse is over the menu it wont disappear and you can get the share link...there is always a way.

<----- Ooh, I just noticed... Yay, I'm a shambler now!


Neat-o! Case closed?

[MadGypsy]

@case closed

No, I still need to spell worldspawn. I don't think I'm going to bother to draw every letter or make it all that fancy, though. I'm more inclined to find a complimentary font (buy it if I have to) and then do the exact same filters to the font that I did to my W or maybe just make it the same red as the planet. Here we go, another day of ... turkey-balls. Really though I don't want to spend more than an hour or so on this. I was pretty serious yesterday when I said I'm going to finish collision detection today.

[MadGypsy]

I found my font. I'm not ready to show y'all yet but, you will more than likely agree it's perfect. I did not choose it for this reason but I find it highly coincidental it is entitled

gyparody - which I'm sure means I'm actually using the Jeopardy font to some degree. It looks good.

[Mugwump]

If you're not ready to show us, don't mention the name... because, you know, Google. We'll see how it looks with your style applied but I just took a look at the standard version and I'm really not sure.

BTW, "I'm not ready to show y'all yet" reminded me of [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acrv-XWCx6w"]the chorus[/ame].

[MadGypsy]

what does looking at the font I used have to do with what my results will be? You can see all this by googling "gyparody"? It needs tweaking. I might ditch the shitty reflection too.


PS don't tell me what to do... LOL! I'm only serious.

[MadGypsy]

Yeah, shitty reflection needs to go and the letters are too bright. Other than that, I'm probably done.

[MadGypsy]

I don't want to be a dickhead to you BFG so I want to rewind a second. I'm even going to put this really really nicely. When people attempt to "enlighten" me to the most obvious shit you can imagine... it pisses me off. I know you didn't mean anything by it but you basically implied that I'm completely unaware of the most obvious shit that I deal with on a daily basis. It's as silly as if I thought I needed to teach you how to use velcro. That's all I'm saying, brah.

still tweaking my image be back in a bit with a final.

Which is why I started with "We'll see how it looks with your style applied".

It wasn't my intent and I'm sorry if you took it this way. I just wasn't expecting this type of '60s-looking font but something more modern/futuristic, considering the shape of your W. The upper part of the font is thinner in your WIP than what I saw on Google and it's already better this way, not so dated, especially with your color scheme and style added.

To me, the point of putting a WIP online for all to see is so that people can give their input. Maybe I should've waited for the actual image above before opening my mouth but then again, I didn't say "it sucks", I said "we'll see"...

[Dutch]

I like it. Has a futuristic 50s vibe. If you don't know what I mean, check out fallout 4 or the COD Zombies Nuketown map...the vibe is old school set in the future.

The reflection is good too.

I'm not just here saying "that's cool". I looked at it a good while and decided I would be happy with that If I had made it.

[MadGypsy]

[Dutch]

Even better. The offset from the logo is a nice touch as well.

[Mugwump]

Ah, I see you changed the font, after all... The new one suits the logo much better IMHO.
