DoE Minimap Preview 1.09c
AR was inspired, or something.

Now all we need is a beautiful loading screen image that demonstrates the cast of characters and possibly a change log.
This is great BTW, all Hail AR!

No, we don't. I like DoE's briefness in this resort ;Ppandamanar wrote:Now all we need is a beautiful loading screen image that demonstrates the cast of characters and possibly a change log.

Damn...
That is some epic shit.

Re: DoE Minimap Preview 1.09c
The only part that I don't like about it is the "of," because it's slant really throws off the mood "Desert" and "Exile" give you.
Otgerwise, pure awesomenite.

Yeah, after looking at it more, I would come to the same conclusion. Ditch the Italics on 'of'.

Re: DoE Minimap Preview 1.09c
No way. The slant on the of makes the whole thing resemble a Z which is what we're going for here. Subliminal advertising for VZ, right? The V is from the slight dip in the mountains right in the middle. That or the crazy shiny light lines coming from the top corners.

Re: DoE Minimap Preview 1.09c
Not a fan.
I don't like the font, and I really don't like the italicized "of". Besides that I think it could use more of the warm colors.

Re: DoE Minimap Preview 1.09c
[HYPOCRISY][RANT]I remember a day when people were like "Omg, we got a minimap preview, that's sweet," not "I'm going to be a picky bastard in order to make the artists that do this as a hobby repeat their own work a hundred times." I mean, no shit it's not the best in the world, but damnit you shits, can you not be the least appreciative? Christ, it's one thing to insult me, I can deal with that, but don't get on the artists. They don't get paid for this, they don't owe this to me, they do it because they're awesome.
It's comments like Merlin, however honest and unoffensive they are (Sorry you had to get picked out for this, your comment is a lot like the kind I make to the artists too and is totally within fair bounds, but see below), that have made people like KR not want to texture anything else. I have learned over my years of experience that it's all in the wording; you have a problem with it? Suggest improvements, don't cry about what's there, and then conclude with a "This is pretty sweet for a start" or something. I've found that comments like that keep the artists feeling appreciated while still telling them that this could be better. And people always work better for what they are happy with.[/RANT][/HYPOCRISY]

Re: DoE Minimap Preview 1.09c
It's better than the original one (minimap), that's all I'm satisfied.
My Ideas:
-A huge book opens, and the page inside has the map name? (The loading screen could be adjusted to looks like a page in that book, maybe introducing us about the second war or something)
-A picture of sand with some bloodstained sand on it, reading as "desert of exile" (Loading screen could be a parchment or something)
-Visualization of the rift in the void, no text on it. (Loading Screen could an actually screen of the game, people tossing out magic stuff or something.)
-Rikter using EoD on some hero. (Loading Screen could be that exact pic, but in HIGH-FRIGGIN-RES, that could've done by using the actual uncompressed skin on uberhigh resolution.)
For the sand, images could be like this:
Not sure if it's ok to post something like this after seeing Dusk's post. But no pain no gain.

No worries, Dusk, I don't take offense easily.
However, I did suggest improvements. They were try another font, don't italicize the "of", and use more reds, oranges, and yellows. I'm not well-acquainted with AR, but I don't imagine he's the sort of fellow who gets down about criticism from the internets.
