edited* new unit design (01/25/10)
We’ve been working on this project since September of last year. It is starting to come together and we will update you guys with screen shots and more information soon!
I love it! Can’t wait to play it. As one aesthetic note, I would make the circles around the units a harder line, maybe even dotted. As it is it gets a bit busy visually when you have a lot of units selected.
Thanks Gizzerd for the suggestion. I will try out dotted selection if things get too busy. We will find out when we start doing our beta testing.
It is all in the textures If your texture is placed really well it makes anything look good. For the units what I did was I created the high resolution models and rendered the top/side/front/back views and recreated the models in low resolution and used the rendered pieces as texture. This gives an illusion of the model being high triangle/poly.
When I have time after I release this game I will post up a little walk through on that.
