Shiny gems!

[Horn]

The official forum's lacking a bit, as I'd rather spend the time working directly on the mod for now. I want something releaseable within a month.

Here's the first of many 'in development' shots. Throw me some questions. First post will be updated daily.

It's just a field of mineral rocks, being harvested by a Bondsman (placeholder model for now) and the lumber icon has of course been replaced. You can see the unit information highlighted in the shot - this really is just hiding the natural skill the unit has (evasion and critical chances).

Day two!

New bounty art:

Resources - mana, minerals (or gems?), character limit (anyone got a decent portrait/stickman icon?)

Return resources icon:

Damn, looking good. I can't wait to see it.


Two questions though, will the models ever be releaced to the public? And does the Gem Rocks have camaras for portrates?

 

[Horn]

Gemmed rocks work like Trees. Neither can be selected so don't require a portrait.

All models will be released at my site.

Update

New population icon thanks to TDR!

Leyline nexus/node:

Looks good, but you should give a little more info about the project itself ("Shiny Gems" is not the best explanation).

 

[Horn]

Then take a look at the 'Black Book' link in my sig.

 

[Blade.dk2]

I'll do that as soon as I gets the time.

Anyway, why the **** didn't you host it at the hubb?

 

[DarkShadow]

Instead of "Minerals" or "Gems" I would like "Crystals", but that's just my opinion.

It is. The more more places the merrier.

Last night's updates:

Added a rank symbol that units gain every level.
Got the 'Nodes' working (relace gold mines with mana prduction facilities).

 

[Blade.dk2]

Ok.

Anyway, you should call 'em minerals or crystals, gems sounds a bit silly.

 

[Panto]

Pardon me, but that's among the dumbest critiques I've ever read.

Whitey, these are very snazzy. I appreciate the depths you've gone to in order to make it a cohesive aspect of the game.

If u cant select em, then how can u order ur workers to get the gems? (u CAN select trees)

No. You can't. They can be TARGETED. You can't SELECT them.

Nice to see you're still around, Panty!
