Didn't know where to put this really...

 

Using Vista, then Seven, I felt TDM lacked one of those oh-so-pretty scaling icons withs lotsa added bling-bling, so I just created one.

 

It's not top quality stuff, just something I made in a few minutes, but still, if someone's interested...

Nice license! I'm wondering, what is that curved line with the haze on top half? Is that your own design or something they do in 7?

 

Circle selection, invert selection, insert gradient FG color -> transparent (in Gimp, that is). Home-made, thus. ;)

Could you make a version w/o that, or just save it as XCF file (gimps native format) with layers? I am not too fond of the "glass" look :)

Mmh, I'll try to create a bit more then... Can't promise anything for the broken glass effect (though THAT would be nice and fitting), but I'll try :)

 

@Tels: Created on a .ico "framework", so to speak. I'll recreate something as close to this one as I can. ^^

 

EDIT - Well, after recreating it... There were NO layers. You just have to take a shot of the loading screen, crop it, resize and you're done. I'll upload a blank .ico, so you can see which size goes in which layer :)

Here's a blank one. The layers are pretty self-explanatory :)

 

(attachments didn't seem to work xD - http://www.4shared.c...1429/blank.html )

 

 

 

 

I'll gimp a "vanilla" one right away.

 

About the broken glass effect : well, I tried to add that and it looks... plain stupid in fact. The icon is way too dark and small to get something correct out of it. A pity, really. :(

 

Now I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to remove everything except the clock for the smaller-size layers. It's not too... readable right now. I'll give it a few tries. :P

      Hey @nbohr1morehow come the zombies in The Dark Mod don't have a "resurrection" mechanic to it, similar to how Thief has it?
      They're quite a weak creature as of right now, it's merely a walking corpse that slashes you, making attacking them to kill them an actual strategy.
      Would be better if they had some cool mechanism to it that truly makes them a danger, such as the resurrection idea itself.

      Query: when was the last time a zombie in a video game was unnerving or scary to you? I'm chipping away at my anniversary submission and I've been trying to gather opinions on the subject. I'm perfectly capable of lighting them well, changing their sfx, and creating effective ambience, but I'm worried that zombies at their core are just too overdone to be an effective payoff to the tension I'm creating.
