AmoryBlaine Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 I don't like the new ones, so I made updated versions of the old one. A ballistic shield made of metal, and a riot shield made of polycarbonate. Thoughts and questions go here.
Nantei Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 The new ones are awful and clash with our art style. My only issue with the ballistic version is there doesn't seem to be any way that would collapse, and last I checked our only ballistic shield is the one the HoS gets, which is collapsible.
Mogelix Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 can we just go back to the old sprites like 100% no new ballistic shield or riot shield? i like rectangles. the collapsible looked slightly more advanced but both are literally just sheets of plastic/reinforced plastic idk. and thats a good thing. no need to over complicate it. if you want a complicated shield, add a ablative anti energy shield

My only issue with the ballistic version is there doesn't seem to be any way that would collapse, and last I checked our only ballistic shield is the one the HoS gets, which is collapsible. It's unrelated to the HoS' tactical shield. The ballistic shield shown here previously existed in our build, but was not used. I don't think it had a in-hand apeite either. So, this is something new essentially. The old tact shield sprite was fine IMO. So I won't change it.
Roostercat Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 While I like the look of the new shielf I do agree that it completely borks the artstyle, but I think just going back to the old shields is better.
AmoryBlaine Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 I've completed the backslot sprite and item sprite.
Kaed Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Doesn't it seem weird that the shield is pointing to the side instead of the front in some of those? Edited September 10, 2019 by Kaed
KingOfThePing Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I find the new ones cool, the old ones and these here still look like toys
Garnascus Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Current ones look like you're carrying a body pillow. These ones look way better.

Well, it has to, otherwise it'll be floating far away from the hand it's suppose to be held in. For each sprite where you're looking at the side holding the shield, the shield is retracted to that side, to cover this issue. I mean we can have it always facing forward but I'd want more input on it just to see how everyone feels about it. Personally I'm indifferent.
AmoryBlaine Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 Bumping thread. Need coder to implement this.
StationCrab Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 As always your sprite work is great. I like these far better than the new ones. The new ones look like refrigerators to me.
KingOfThePing Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Look too much like the old ones, which I also didn't like. Sorry but no thanks from me.
Carver Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 New ones we have are nice, size-wise. Good detail even if the shape can seem a slight off.

KingOfThePing Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 It's just personal preference, probably. You are right if you say the current ones look a bit strange. These here are just so small and I find it strange looking.
