Now I have some good news

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-20, 23:41

so, I've actually worked on BM3 some, finally! Anyways, what I've been working on, is changing the player panel at the bottom. Let's put it, it's in a different spot, and completely redesigned! It's looking good. Well, hopefully more will get down in the days to come, and maybe, I'll have a Christmas present of a beta version of the game (that's right I said Beta, not Alpha!)

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-21, 14:02

i can't wait to show you the new display panel. people have been saying for a while that it should be changed, well, now it is! think of it like this, Flash Trek (The original) meets my modern day
version of BM3, with a new shine added.

by Earthdeath 2008-11-21, 14:22

Because of all this, I am stretching my arm out across my 5ft long dining room table for the cookies on the other side.....

I so love Silver Moon Bakery (NYC bakery on 105th and Broadway) with its delectable, warm and luscious cookies (chocolate chip ones to boot!)

by me naam is m 2008-11-21, 21:47

gimme gimme gimme

(okay, i know i'm spammy atm)

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-21, 23:07

yes, these new display panels are looking pretty good.

Gay?

More like Agape love.

(non-gay) LOL!

Oh, and no one wants my pumpkin pie?

When I made that post yesterday, it actually inspired me to make a real pumpkin pie.

There's still quite a bit left in the fridge. LOL!

It's quite yummy too.

@ Darkwing

Yes, feed us screen shots!!!!

by Earthdeath 2008-11-22, 07:05

i live off of game screen shots, gimme!

by me naam is m 2008-11-22, 12:01

screen shots, drugs shots... you don't really care which, huh, ED? Razz

anyway, yes, give us screen shots!

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-22, 13:24

ok, hold on

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-22, 13:31

by me naam is m 2008-11-22, 13:40

interesting... Very Happy

although i got the impression it looks a bit....

messy?

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-22, 13:42

how so? oh, one thing, it doesn't slide up and down like the old one. i found that so annoying.

by Earthdeath 2008-11-22, 14:00

1.VISTA!!!!!!!!!

2.looks good, but what do you mean by "it doesn't slide up and down like the old one"?

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-22, 15:12

it's stationary. before, if your mouse moved to the bottom of the screen, it would pop up. it doesn't do that now.

by Darkjedi 2008-11-22, 16:42

Nice screen shots!!

I really like the graphics style!

Suggestion:

How about you make it to where the player can bring up the menu by just pressing a button.

That would be easier.

See, I don't think many people will like having the menu there all of the time.

I know I wouldn't.

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-22, 17:02

ok, i'll give it a try

by Jtull 2008-11-22, 17:09

hmm they are briliant.

P.S I will truly love it if you put a Tardis in there as an easter egg.

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-22, 17:19

ok, i'm having difficulties in getting it to slide up. The code only allows it to slide part way up.

by Jtull 2008-11-22, 17:27

oh bummer well im shure you will figure it out.

yeah, the sliding was annoying.

Darkwing wrote:

(okay, here comes my art knowledge)

i mean that the menu does not have one single cadre anymore.

EG, you can't visualize a box around it that neatly encases the menu, while having the least possible mpty space. it tends to look a bit distorted
also the grouping of the buttons looks random, strewn around. may be confuzing.

(oh, well, i'm probably being too demanding and criticizing like usual. I'm a perfectionist. sorry)

by **Darkwing** 2008-11-22, 18:10

actually, i know what you're saying, but things are actually grouped better than they were before. for instance, anything dealing with weapons is all together, anything to do with ship stats is grouped etc. i do know what you're saying about it though.

by raffitz 2008-11-30, 18:04

I know you're supposed to still be mad at me and all that, but I love it...

by me naam is m 2008-11-30, 18:15

lol.

well, i guess you're right about the logical grouping, but well yeah, the visual...

ah what the heck. i'm being the annoying artist again, am i?

by **Darkwing** 2008-12-01, 00:25

eh, all us artists are annoying. perhaps why you can't imagine a box is becasue i'm unconventional. i hate boxes. unless they're cool boxes.

We could just get it over with and hug you.....

Half to death!! LOL!

(Really, you need a hug)

by me naam is m 2008-12-01, 07:49

haha.

well, you gotta remember that the most people who will play this game aren't artists, but geeks

by raffitz 2008-12-01, 18:15
