Hey guys, by silly conversation on Discord, we had a very bad idea to try streaming the pixelart creation. I'll be working on some giant insects for an hour or so, if you want to drop by and chat, you're more than welcome.

re: the font topic

If this was readable it would have been so friggin cool https://imgur.com/a/yntZIGL#b1ArqTH

https://www.fontspace.com/ds-runenglish-2-font-f1730 is quite nice, I mean:

The font won't be anything like that.

I think it's unfortunate that this thread has been moved down a level of hierarchy. It'll be more difficult for users to find it.

Seems to me that stylistic fonts are often just cool ideas. In reality I'd rather it be simple, clean and readable, there's just too much reading to deal with. Imagine how annoying your DND Player's Handbook would be if they tried to use a theme-appropriate font to set the mood instead of just making it plainly legible.

Play with the logo if you want, but I like this. It's perfectly legible and does exactly what it's supposed to:

We probably do a little bit of rock/metal design, with a dwarf logo on top. Here a mock-up. Overall Tarn mentioned something like the menu resembling a fortress, as an idea. Either way, nothing too fancy, and with a readable font.

I agree. Moving it to its own spot in "DF Modding" doesn't put it in a more obvious place, which I imagine is the intent.

Moving it to DF General Discussion with Future of the Fortress and Dwarf Fortress Talk, and the two "We Need Your Help" threads, on the other hand, would consolidate the official threads considerably, and put it with the ad hoc Steam announcement thread.

Also, this seems to be in light mode, eww.

I really like those stone styled buttons.

The title screen looks nice . Will be exciting to see it’s final form.

I hope this is not the death of the subtitle/full name. I know it won’t be used for official marketing, due to it’s confusing nature, but it would still be a shame if ”Slaves to Armok: God of Blood”, ”Chapter II:”, and ”Histories of X and Y” were to go.

...and I'm sure the (Steam/equivalent) wagon graphics can be adapted(/redone, edge on) to side-scroll onto the opening menu splash.

(Though it wouldn't be a dealbreaker, it'd add to the feeling of continuity.)

but it would still be a shame if ”Slaves to Armok: God of Blood”, ”Chapter II:”, and ”Histories of X and Y” were to go.

It would make sense as an easter egg, perhaps on a credits/version screen if there ever will be any.

Hey, nope, that wasn't the intent. It was to allow us to have separate discussions in separate topics, rather than keeping all suggestions in one thread, which was getting just impossible to follow for me. I have about 15 minutes or less for browsing this forum per day and I don't want all the great input from the community to go to waste. That's why I asked for the possibility of more structured discussion.

Personally, I'd put it as a sub-forum of the Suggestions forum, this was Tarn's call. Maybe we'll move it later on.

Hmm. Yes, seems to be a case of "well people are used to tilesets being in modding" thinking. Which forgets that new people or casual forum goers wandering over from Reddit, etc wanting to give input won't ever find it here.

Good start though. Hope the "white scheme" setting is temporary though. Feels like I've fallen into the lower boards...

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, everything's still dark for me. Maybe it's something you set in your personal preferences?

EDIT: ah yes, go to http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;area=theme and choose the theme "Darkling"

I'd never have found that if someone I trusted hadn't told me it was there, cheers!

Unfortunately, Suggestions is another place people are unlikely to look, imo.
