Woo! So much progress since my last batch of screenies!
So, here we get a few good screenshots of the current GUI. As you can see, it's still a work in progress, a lot of elements are unfinished or missing, but this is a good start.
At the top of all three screens we have the health bar. Pretty standard. To the left of the health bar we have the in-game clock. This is important, because different structures have different build times, and this allows the player to build settlements, and have a rough idea of when they will be finished so that they can go off and attend to other things.
Underneath the health bar is a bar that changes based on what the player currently has selected. So, for instance if the player is in combat, the game displays the efficiency percentage for the repair, mobility, and weapons systems of the ship. These percentages are based on the number of living crewmembers, but more on that in later posts. This bar also displays the number of resources the player has when building, or the amount of "mana" (I'm not calling it that in the finished product) the player has when calling on gods to perform miracles.
On the right side of the screen we see the Mode Selection bar. Currently, the only mode that shows anything is the build mode, and you can flip through pages to display more unit types. The "Magic" mode will eventually show the available miracles to a player, and the combat mode will allow the selection of various weapon types. You can also minimize the Mode Selection bar.
I will be updating as often as I can on this project, and when updates take too long I'll probably end up talking about design ideas in minutia.
Also, I think I might have a few more followers from a few sources, if thats the case, please post and let me know what you would like to hear about!
Well, it took me way too long to finish this, what with me looking for work most of my time (a situation that has *hopefully* been remedied!), but here it is! The Grand National Championships poster! I'm posting it here before anywhere else so that the guy's at the show will get a chance to proof it and give me any feedback they might be interested in. I'm really quite happy with it for the most part, especially the text, since if there is one thing I will admit to being horrible at, it's typography. The only thing left to do at this point (assuming they don't have any suggestions or revisions) is to reformat this into a usable banner for there blog. That shouldn't be too hard if I'm not mistaken, just some editing and moving.
Heres a demonstration of several different elements from that project I posted a screenshot of earlier. We've got a Jellyfish animation, various terrain, birds, and a turnaround of an airship.
One of the things you have to do Senior Year at Ringling is make a Self portrait for the Senior Illustration Show's poster. I decided to do mine in pixels, since I'm pretty much the only artist in the senior class that uses pixel art in his work. It should hopefully put me apart from the crowd.
