Yes, go for it. If you are done, open a new thread about this showing what you've done.eleazar wrote:Thanks. I'm not sure how things work around here. Is that enough of an endorsement to confidently proceed?pd wrote:I like this super sized star picture at the top. The reason why the sun was put into the upper right corner is that it fits the illumination of the planets - but it still looks nice with a much bigger and centered star picture.eleazar wrote:2) The Stars look odd jammed into the upper-right corner. Why not make a bigger star graphic centered like so. I can redo the graphics.
I invite you to do so! But keep in mind that some UI parts might change a lot in the future. So try to work out a general UI if possible. I think of a screen having many different ellements, like standard buttons, scolling bars, tabs, drop down menues, maybe a queue as on the tech screen, and so on. We need to find a general theme, which can then be applied to the other screens we (will) have.eleazar wrote:Is anyone currently developing it? I saw a number of threads on the topic, but they seemed to die out. I could be interested in working on this.pd wrote:I agree. Notice that the UI is anything but finished. In the future we are going to develop a less spartanic UI with cool looking buttons an other UI widgets :)eleazar wrote:3) The sidebar could benefit from a line on the left edge to separate it from the starmap. Without a nebula underneath, everything tends to get jumbled together.
Okay, take the time you need to get familiar with freeOrion.eleazar wrote:Yes, i did see that is your main graphics need at the moment. But if you don't mind i'd rather introduce myself to these forums doing a few things, i'm more confident i can do well. :wink:pd wrote:Btw, take a look at the tech icon thread if you are interested to help.
Sounds nice! I had a look at Battle fo Wesnoth and it looks really sweet.eleazar wrote:Perhaps a brief introduction would be appropriate here:
I've worked on the art for Battle for Wesnoth for several years, and have made minor contributions to a few other FOSS games, all under this name "eleazar." I tend to bounce around between different art projects, because i try to keep it fun for me. Though i usually will eventually finish what i start.
My skills are primarily Photoshop-centric, though i like to concept and brainstorm as well.
I've only every played Moo once, though i a big fan of TBS games, especially galactic conquest and RPG games.
Well, I hope you will stay a while :) If you have any questions, don't hesitate to shoot me a mail or pm.
