[Abandoned] Alamo

by **generalhead** on Tue Oct 15, 2013 11:28 am

Seeking to see which version is liked better.
Plus how the new figures look?

Combined legend map
The reason for this request is because this layout opens the board up and only gives you one place to look for the instructions
I know the glows need worked on and the items in the legend need aligned, but I wanted to see if
this version is liked better before I go too far with it.

GH, this will take a bit longer than a little bit of time to really look at. You have changed the dynamics of the game play a bit. Let mew look into it tomorrow with a fresh head, speak to ian about it and see if we can OK the new layout without too much fuss.

From my opinion, it has not been too dramatic though and the ability to include the façade of the Alamo will negate any problems.

Thanks koontz. I can wait on the approval, I was just wondering if you liked it better?

It is better and would be worth keeping.

That is a lot better. Also not going to remove the stamp so all is good to carry on with graphics. Makethe title part of the facing. Remove remember and go with alamo only for the map.

A couple of things that jump out right now:

1. This is more game-play, but Ceza looks like it can also attack Smith. Draw in a border so that it doesn't look like it does.
2. Along the left side, it looks like you don't have a layer positioned correctly, if so it needs to be moved to the left a few pixels.

That's it for now!

I removed the remember the part but I don't understand what you mean by making the title part of the facing. If you could elaborate that would
be awesome. I tried a few other textures in this version for the legend.

The bevel on the facade covered up some of the letters in the legend. The bottom of the bevel needs to be fixed also. I will fix that next version
if it stays.

Use the wood effect you have now but make it a lot smaller so it looks like the name above the door.

by **generalhead** on Tue Oct 29, 2013 8:29 pm

What do you mean. Did you mean to make (Alamo) as the same font as the (remember the) was and use the same effect. I thought you meant just have it smaller
and above the door.

Thanks swimmerdude

Smaller yes, above the door yes. Make the Alamo name part of the wall as if it is hanging above the door. It should look part of the façade, not on top and blocking it.

But why has everything gone green and grey?

10-4 on the Alamo name. It is a layer I was trying to make the ground look more natural. I agree it blends everything too much and it will not be in the next draft.

I see that couple of pixels on the left side of the map too, the whole left side is either out or alignment, is just missing pixels(wrong size) or you have some sort of bevel added that you didn't think was supposed to be there.

The other thing that pops out at me is what looks to me like a blue snow across the map. It looks kinda like a dissolve effect, and it just doesn't look right to me.

Thanks RB0 for the eyes, I will fix in the next draft.
