Lion.Kanzen Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) I'd really like to see a main menu background similar to Age of Empires 3 (http://www.polycat.n...aoe3/aoe3_5.jpg) where you have a simulation running in the background that changes based on your gameplay. i don't know how hard to implement is that.but i think when Profile user is done, the User can choose a faction, and all factions would a Background. but 3D Background animation is had to implement, but you can choose a Random Background for each you go to Main Menu.

LordGood Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks guys!Haven't worked on it in a bit, but I'll do what I can, and expand those edges a bit more for compatibility with the scroll function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just so you know, this one is going to be next to completely impossible to tile thanks to that big fat black cloud up thereI still need to separate the three slides, but I think this one will be fun 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield Bearer Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Looks superb! I love the composition! The only thing I'm concerned about is its...roughness? If you can make things a little sharper, it will look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just so you know, this one is going to be next to completely impossible to tile thanks to that big fat black cloud up thereI still need to separate the three slides, but I think this one will be funThis looks really cool. A few things though in order to use it for the game in some capacity.1. The game is supposed to be a serious semi-realistic game, so the proportions for the people in this image should be realistic and not so cartoonish. 2. It would be cool if you used some of the Roman shield designs in the game for the Roman shield dude. Ties it in with the game better.3. Some of the details should be finished and the guidelines/sketch lines edited out (see the Sacred Band dude's plume, or maybe those are individual horse hairs, in that case they wouldn't fall in a "bouncey" way).This doesn't necessarily have to be a main menu background. It could be used for a revamped loading screen or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordGood Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 haha, thanks!I think Tomas would be much better suited for a Celtic background. He's very practiced in working with that cultural scene.In fact, I think someone ought to give him a heads up as to how the background scroll worksAs for proportions, I think they'll fall into place once I tighten up the edges, unless there is some glaring issue. Try and keep in mind that I'm trying to make the defenders look a bit emaciated as a consequence of the Roman protracted siege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leper Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 You can (or could (fixing the code to support it ought to be trivial)) use more than 3 layers if you want it as a main menu background (less than 3 works too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Vardzik Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Ok guys, I made for you this new piece -http://callmevargo.deviantart.com/art/The-Line-Breaking-410670639 ,maybe not right as a main menu screen. Thanks Lord Good for mentioning me, I will try to bring here something more to use for this purpose.You can ever read more in this thread: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17708Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteTreePaladin Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I still think it would be good for a main menu screen. I don't think the styles have to match exactly; a mild amount of variety is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I still think it would be good for a main menu screen. I don't think the styles have to match exactly; a mild amount of variety is good.Main menu backgrounds need to tile. It's just the basic spec we have set forth for them. I agree about variety though. Ideally, I'd like one menu bg for each faction. But they need to tile for various reasons (one being multi-monitor setups).But that's not to say we can't use images like what LordGood provides here. Loading screens are the perfect place for static imagery.EDIT: It would also be cool to have some animated smoke or dust over the image too.

WhiteTreePaladin Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Not sure what you mean by tile. It should still fit across two screens, so I must be missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 The left side should seam into the right perfectly, so that odd resolution or multi-monitor setups don't have ugly seams and cutoffsthree point perspective and the temperature gradient make it impossible here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
