Just a mockup of how I think our splash screen might look like... of course it's subject to change overtime... :D

[bojidar-bg]

That's way too slow, but nvm 😄
Not bad actually....

[mamarilmanson]

@bojidar-bg ~ yeah... I noticed it... but at least we all got the idea... :D

[erik90mx]

@mamarilmanson this will be the last version of it? (to start the script coding)

[mamarilmanson]

last version???

[erik90mx]

@mamarilmanson times and screens

[bojidar-bg]

@mamarilmanson he asks if you are going to change anything 😃

@erik90mx I hope you would do it with AnimationPlayer 👍

[mamarilmanson]

only the timing... but do everything as is for now... but make it flexible so we can change things later... :)

[mamarilmanson]

and about the game menu bg? what should it be? the dog? :)

[erik90mx]

@mamarilmanson remember that the second story is the chosen one, it might be something with the main character and the plot.

[mamarilmanson]

okie... 👍

[mamarilmanson]

@erik90mx ~ I imagine the game menu something like this... the bg is just a placeholder...

[erik90mx]

@mamarilmanson I will make some changes to make it similar.

[mamarilmanson]

Just some notes... when you hover over a button it slides to the right and changes the from gray to yellow... and maybe make more opaque... :)

[mamarilmanson]

oh yeah... do we have a "ringed" title? Like Left4Dead...

[erik90mx]

@mamarilmanson if you design one, it will be welcome

@bojidar-bg is there a way to disable the mouse clicks in the controls, when there is a menu screen change?

[mamarilmanson]

@erik90mx ~ The UI/Game menu is good...

but...

can you please make it look exactly the same? because I did the buttons with "emotions first" in mind... considering the font(that's source sans pro - semi-bold btw), the length of the buttons, the extra spaces after the words... I wanted to convey modern, clean and tight ui... but the ui came out with a different vibe...

no harm intended... I hope you understand... :)

[erik90mx]

@mamarilmanson well that kind of descriptions are very useful to consider and understand the UI to reproduce it, I will implement the changes.

[mamarilmanson]

Thank you! :D

Will give more inputs after the changes... please give a screenshot first... :)

[mamarilmanson]

also btw... the logo and powered by intro seems fast... can you make them stay longer? maybe for 1 sec?

I need some tutorials about UI... I want to implement some UI design myself... :D

[bojidar-bg]

@erik90mx ~ Just have some controls_disabled_until variable, and when you change the screen make it equal to OS.get_unix_timestamp() + screen_transition_time (not sure of the name of that function). Then, when you click a button, check if OS.get_unix_timestamp() > controls_disabled_until, and only if so, respond to the click. (I hope you wanted to just disable buttons while switching between screens, right?)

@mamarilmanson ~ nice prototype screen! Sorry I didn't find time to teach you... maybe you should read the Godot wiki, and try to follow along their instructions, so you will try it first-hand 😄 (I might record some screen capture of me explaining it 😉)

[mamarilmanson]

@bojidar-bg ~ Thanks... I would prefer screencaps more... as I don't feel alone when studying... XD

might as well build UI tuts for the community to learn from... not just me... :D

[mamarilmanson]

something I just came up with in the actual editor...

[erik90mx]

@mamarilmanson what's the status of the bg art? and, do you have new ideas to improbe the intro?

[mamarilmanson]

@erik90mx ~ I don't have time to do the bg art during weekdays... i'll do it on the weekend... but i already have the concept...

I also plan on doing the bg art to be animated (cut-out, and just a simple/subtle movements) as well to create more atmosphere on the menu... :)

[erik90mx]

For now this issue need to be done for the Alpha (that we want to have this 27th)

[mamarilmanson]

Work in Progress with color testing... details will follow soon... :)

[erik90mx]

@mamarilmanson we are close to the Alpha if you test the game :) , we need to finish the intro and the charater design.
from the writer words "The fisic complexion needs to be reduced, he is a business man and very intellectual not an action one. The face need to be more peaceful (he will have glasses btw) not so angry, remember that he is a very thinking man with obtuse mind."

PD: keep the art in different layers, I will try to import them to make them animatable

[mamarilmanson]

ok... I will rework it... I hope for your patience... :)

[akien-mga]

Hey, this guy looks very cool @mamarilmanson. Are you going for a male character in the end? I liked the idea of a female main character, it's not often that we find them in video games, even less in brutal kill them all games :-p

[mamarilmanson]

@akien-mga ~ I did for the feel... I'm redoing it because the writer was going for a different direction... :)

[mamarilmanson]

Sad... my computer's not working... might take longer for me to create art because of the situation... :(

[bojidar-bg]

@mamarilmanson Don't worry, you got all the time you want to fix it 😄

[mamarilmanson]

@bojidar-bg ~ still sad... I'm excited for this... -_____-

I'll just send temp artwork for the meantime... :)

[erik90mx]

@mamarilmanson @bojidar-bg two more issues to go for the Alpha :D
https://github.com/KOBUGE-Games/ringed/milestones/Version%20Alpha

[bojidar-bg]

@erik90mx I might try to do something for the main screen, but don't rely too much on me.... I'll have a nice 'vacation' ( @mamarilmanson 😉 ) next week, so I'll have to prepare luggage and stuff 😄
