Definite New skin

This is the definite version of ETDBZF's new skin... Well, never say "definite", because there's a big gap of unused space... but this is how it will look from now on: black

Me talking to the mayor, who was looking for me...

Tell me what you think...

I shouldn't have used the word "definite"... With help of Virgil, I updated the skin to a better looking skin(thanks, Virgil!)...

Thanks.

Sorry, haven't had the time to do very much... After the latest screenshot, I made a good start on the second set of missions, but only for a few days... You see, my school started recently(this week), and well, they call it "introduction days", but as far as I know, introduction days aren't from 9 to 4... And even after that, I only have about 30 mins to get home, eat a bit, before I leave for work, of which I won't be returning around 10...

So, yeah, pretty much no time... But it should change from Sunday on... You can expect a progress report in about 8 days from now.

Its pretty good, but let my submit my "Professional" review.

I like the idea of being able to change the skin of a game (Although I won't take the time to learn it because it has nothing to provide TW) But if you can change the skins, could you not mess around with the order of things. Like have the Map to the Right and the Text at the bottem with your stats and attacks in the upper left hand side, or keep the map in the upper left and go with attacks in the upper right, mix it around a little to see how it looks. (Personally I wouldn't mind seeing the attacks above the text instead of below it.)

As for how you have it now, it and the text colors look pretty good. The only thing you might want to work on is the size of the Attack Icons. You'll need to fit more in, so just have the character instead of the beam. (I've been calling them attack icons, and I'm not even sure thats what they are...)

Keep up the good work O-matic, I may not know how to mess with the skins, but my helpful offer still stands. You've helped me out many times before and I feel that I owe you in some way.

Those icons are just decoration btw Razz

Thanks, I think it looks pretty good myself too.. Doesn't happen very much that I'm happy about my work(I'm not really the kind of person that gets the "its done" feeling very often)

Well, I never really asked you for help because I actually hardly need any help. And I don't say that in the mean of "I can do it by myself", no, its just, that, when I work with others, its always hard for me to keep overview on what to and what not to do, and who does what... I like to work by myself, and whenever I do need help(that's hardly ever programming help, but rather design-issues), then I always ask you and Virgil, and thats the point where you've been helpfull in the past year... But I'm afraid I won't really need programming help, and if I need it... you and Virgil will be the first to hear.

So far for the progress report.... Where I thought I'd be getting more free time, I was reduced in free time... Hardly have any time to even watch tv, only in the weekend... Let alone work on etdbzf... I'm afraid the development will slow down a bit, again. Sad

...this isn't going anywhere... not enough time, but enough motivation... The exact opposite of last year...

God damn irony!

heh, yeah. :S

Just to make one point clear though, this game is certainly not forgotton.. just on another 'break', again... I'm going to have to make time free for this, because I keep getting more and more ideas, but not enough time for them...

wheeee.... im a ghost... ghost of the dead O-matic..... damn, cant believe I totally forgot about this... busy times, hope I can actually spend some time on trying to re-understand my hundreds lines of code soon.. got no free days, no free evenings, just saturdayevening and sunday... hope I will un-busy soon =/

So again, again and again, I may be half-dead, but the game isnt... havent even checked the byond site for months, membership prolly expired... I cant be bothered to check.. really hope this situation will change soon, cause etdbzf's health bar is on 1% ...
