Gurken Khan Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Done. The game info is outdated (a25, 12 civs...), but it says "coming Dec 12, 2022"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Done. one feedback from a young dude I show the game, they don't like the look of the game everything looks too old for them. I am 30 years old I have played 2d game in the past so I know 0AD is modern but these dudes are born into 3d games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radagast. Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Finally it's our hobby and interest that brings us here. We have other open source projects for these fighting effects. No need to duplicate work already done. And Hyrule has quite some great effects, too. But I understand your point, you wish new generation. IMO 50 year old also is fine. Roman Senate was rather elderly too. Aragorn Arathorn's son also haha. And Elves ... oh dear hundreds of years old. Who cares about age 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 30 years old I have played 2d game in the past so I know 0AD is modern but these dudes are born into 3d games. Expand Main menu backgrounds look amateur (of course, but still, it's the first impression and that impression is pretty mid). In-game UI (the HUD) is super old and outdated. Menus look too simple, small, and outdated. Game setup looks old and outdated. A lot of random maps still use old assets. We keep old assets around because getting rid of them might break someone's mod = not a great impression. A lot of bad random maps mixed in with the good ones. Time to get rid of the bad or ugly random maps and useless scenario maps. Time to fully support @maroder's efforts to improve things. Also, perhaps we can reimplement the 'default map' UI interface under the hood, where we can select the best maps (random, skirmish, scenario) that the game setup defaults to (instead of strictly the first map on the list alphabetically). Maybe we can refine this to only occur the first few times the game is played in each of this category. After that, it defaults to top alphabetical.

Expand If i played 0ad with same proficiency and function as an 80 year old president posesses for accomplishing his duties/governing the country id throw my pc out of the window. 95 year old that worries about the fence being repainted every year? even tho he never knows when thats a wasted investment..hmm now id like to psychoanalyze that, prob some death denial stuff. capitalism is the best thing that has ever happened to humanity. beyond all that, i would agree that we should live our lives to the fullest, never retiring from it, theres plenty of time to retire after dead. one exception id give is when having family, grandkids, etc where your leusire time, peace of mind and near century of experiences can be extremely valuable in enriching their lives, more so than you could enrich your own at an old age where all of your functional capacities are decimated and theres not much left to enrich.

Sure functionality wise the UI isn't a master piece but I wouldn't call it broken. PS: A designer told me that the first 8 seconds are the most important. Leaving the start page in that time is close to impossible on first visit. Personally I also go for functionality, that why I stick to config files. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand mainland of course, I strongly believe in a new mainland with better looking trees and grass texture and environment settings. also game UI needs to be modernized. we can get inspiration from UI of banner lord manner lord etc for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand is 0ad not 3D? Honestly, I think 0ad has a massive edge graphically even over AOE4 with its massive budget. AOE 4 looks goofy and cartoonish, and apparently it only runs fast on the lowest settings so it looks even worse in that configuration. I think one way to make 0ad more "modernized" would be to improve accessibility. It seems to me that players these days often just want to jump right into a playlist with matchmaking as soon as they are set up with an account and knowledge from the tutorial/tech tree. In other words, it might be a bit of a turn-off to join the lobby and have to pick a 1v1 or host their own game. Within the lobby, I can envision a "Ranked" quickplay button which will queue you up for a 1v1 with an opponent determined by matchmaking. I'd say this would improve accessibility and the competitive interest of the game. These ranked games would have a standardized set of random maps (maybe feldmap incorporated into main game), a particular map size, population cap, and starting res. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand i completely agree, recently bought AOE4 for $45 or so and instantly regretted. It's just too realistics doesn't feel more like an rpg. I bet 0ad is way better as compared to AOE4 from my POV. Faster and competitive games, requires smart approaches and fast thinking to overcome opponents, that's what RPG is all about. In AOE you cant use a scout to gather food, women can take forever to gather etc. The only best thing about AOE4 is their graphics. If we are to compare 0ad with AOE4 headon, i definitely would say 0ad stands out.
