Topic: Finishing touches

We recently finished the jungle tileset (death tiles, unhookables, doodads, main tiles, midground tiles, background quad)

The desert tiles rework is nearly done, too. Only the desert doodads need some tweaks. The concept of the map graphics can be found at my posterous blog. As you can see over there I added a new background graphic and changed the colors.

Re: Finishing touches

Wow, nice to hear
but i have a few questions:

Will the Swamp Tileset be included in 0.6?
Have you changed the winter tileset to this (if yes, which one out of the three) and this?
And those emotes you released erlier, will they be the official ones?
And the last question,
will this skin be official? I'd really like to see it in the next version smile

Re: Finishing touches

1. There won't be a swamp tileset in 0.6.0
2. 1st winter style and a variation of the (current verision, not tested yet) one
3. It is planned to use the reworked emotes for 0.6.0
4. Oh, I have not thought about making it official.

The tear emote is already used as sorry emote, so I don't think that there's need for it, could you replace it with the old "dead tee" emote?

If tees die, they explode with a colourful *boom*. I have not seen any dead tee yet and additionally this emote is #1 of the spam-emotes. It does not have an important meaning for the standard nonverbal communication and thus I removed it.

The tear is an emote for expressing that you are sad, but the "sorry" emote explicitly expresses an often used phrase for common game situations.

This explanation would fit to the ghost emote too. (And I haven't seen a ghost tee yet tongue)

Re: Finishing touches

The ghost tee can be taken as a graphical metaphor of a situation where someone wants to express that he wants to be invisible; meaning he's in an embarassing situation. Embarassing situations might happen now and then, so I'd like to keep it. If you need more information about this emote please ask one of the original graphic artists.

I don't know who the original author was. Can you tell me?

Re: Finishing touches

tbh i think the emotes are used in general for spam only. i never saw any player using the emotes for any teamplay-purpose.

They are mostly used in mods, especially in DDRace.

Re: Finishing touches

emotes are a little faster way of saying something. Like the tear emote is a faster way of saying things like: "Sorry" or "I dunno" or "Please" sad sad

Re: Finishing touches

Still off topic but usually i interpret the tear as "I'm getting annoyed"

Anyways, looking forward to 0.6 but even though graphical development is moving forward, but are any major coding/ game play being implemented in 0.6?

I've always leaned more towards game play than graphics tongue

Well 0.6 is written in Lua...And don't think that this is nothing special,it's a great leap in development! smile

You're not really up-to-date. That was given up months ago.
