Also, great work guys! Keep it up.

Here's my snowspeedy so far.

Most likely I'll not be able to finish the pilot until the update. I'm really ill.
If the snowspeeder is the only thing right now, maybe we should postpone the update a few days? Hopefully I can start working again tomorrow or on tuesday.

Do you think I should post the WIP HUD?

What font is that, that everyone is using?

Haha, I like that one, Leph! The Battlecry logo looks weird with that blocky background tho.

Krymor: i don't know, show us before
Altureus: it is StarJedi http://www.dafont.com/star-jedi.font
Ande: Thanks, and fixed Very Happy

Armchairs were floating, i added orange and white to the projector, a rounded window and light grey on the 2nd floor. Changed the pic in my previous pic ^

I don't think we should use the Star Wars font, don't need to saturate everything with Star Warsiness.

I am currently looking into creating some brand guidelines that we can all get behind.

Alright

Why not? This is a Star Wars game after all.

Sorry that is a little large and the top one is low res because I screenshotted it.

Forget that, anyway on the topic of fonts. Star wars never uses the font apart from on logos, the menus and cutscenes of every star wars game I have played uses different fonts for almost everything. This is because the Star Wars font is not a very functional font. Outside of a logo context it does not look right; I think that is the issue with our current menu designs.

Hmm, yes. I see what you mean. And totally agree.

I guess you have a point.
So we're using that Font in our menus? That's why they look a bit unreadable then.

Ok your the pro in this, do what you think is best Smile

No not that font, we shall experiment and see what works in the context of the UI, but slapping the star wars font everywhere is not the tactic is all I am saying.

Doesn't look very good on my part. The chance that I'll get the pilot finished even until thursday is quite low.
It's not like it's just the head missing, but texture work on some leather parts, the belt, the pipe from the box, some cylinders on the belt and strap on his leg, the strap holding the helmet in place.
So, most likely next update.
If we add in some VOs it should be enough for this update methinks.
