Request: Victory and Defeat backgrounds

#1 Post by Brix »

Hi,
I'm currently making the victory and defeat screens.

That is, when a player has won/'are defeated' they are shown this screen.

So we are in need of a background for both of these.

For now there will only be a single text string on them, like "All other empires have been eradicated - You are victorious!".

LOL! :lol:

Well, that's surely a possible candidate :)

Could be a little bigger, maybe?

Zanzibar, it looks rather pixellated resized.

Brix, what sort of backdrops do you want? Probably some sort of space view I'd say.

Well, actually I thought about letting the artists figure that out.
They are supposed to be creative, right?

The only thing I want when I see these pictures, is fell like I've suffered a humiliating loss, or have won magnificent victory...

But sure space view is good.

Oh yeah, the game will make the text string, I hope to make it resize out, and in again.

What about a battle scarred planet wasteland, with skulls, etc on the ground. Cities in ashes, etc.

I always liked the WarCraft victory/defeat backgrounds. They were cool.

I think they were cool too... Something in that style would be nice.
