I would like some new art for the front page of the launcher.
The image needs to be 278x57.

.... and it looks like it has to be indexed 8 bit colour
If thats a problem I could prehaps figure something out.

This isnt a poll, I choose.
Would like it to look professional.

Looking good.

How about some Setekh renders? Or maybe a thing so mods can specify the launcher art?

That would be really cool but I've got way to much other stuff to get done.
The art is compiled into the exe so that it can be distrubed as one file.

I see. Well then, lets ask setekh for some of his renders!!

I see you run a debug build... tell me why does mine crash uncontrollably when I run mine?

Anyway back on topic it looks very nice!!:) its coming together nicely:yes:

[kasperl]

jdj: post a thread in the SCP forum with what build you;re using and what command line arguments.

[jdjtcagle]

thats ok...doesn't really bother me...just a little curious that all
so everybody admire random tigers "precious";)

Oh.. uh, guys - one thing? Renders take up size and memory (they're big, detailed images remember?) I'm all for seeing pretty graphics stuck up wherever I look. But perhaps it should be limited to say... 5 images of that size - people are going to spend more time in the game than they are looking at the launcher remember, it needs to look pretty - but not to the extent that it adversly affects size/performance.

Other than that, it's up to Steaky! But knowing him I doubt he'll object at all

[RandomTiger]

I want *new* art because the old stuff is a bit dull.
I just posted a shot of the launcher so you can get an idea of how its presented in the dialog box.

Required image size 278x57

Oh come on, an image that's an appropiate size for a launcher can't be that big of a drain on system resources...can it?

[Fineus]

No, but lots can add to the size rather unnecessarily. If you just want one or two images to load (perhaps one randomly each time from a selection of 10) then that's fine.

[RandomTiger]

One image, one size, 278x57.

[Fineus]

Then forget it

So you'd hit me if I said 'Short looping title animation'?

Seriously though, I quite life the Source Code symbol, it just needs some jazzing up, I'll play around in Photoshop and see what happens, though there are people here who would undoubtedly do a better job

[Flipside]

Shine, Glow and Specular added to the title as to the game

That would be very very cool but not really something I want to get into at the moment. Would that image work with a white background?

Or perhaps keep it back and add nebula and stars?

[Flipside]

I'll take a look and post something a little later this evening

Not to detract from Flips efforts, but something like this?

                                                 


EDIT: Actually, it doesn't look very good
Clicky

[Flipside]

Well, heres my own effort with the Nebula. White background is easy if preferred



This was using one of Lightspeeds nebula backgrounds, just sticking in spirit with the game

[Fineus]

I like both, but the lower edges of the icon look a little jagged....
