Rechkalov Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 So I've asked a couple of people about particular sprites that make them cringe, and noted down those that supported my personal issues. Which brings us here. The sprite-thread to update Aurora's equipment, namely, to replace the computers from 1996 that eat diskets the size of your head with newer, much more intuitive holographic electronics! If it glows, it's sci-fi. The library computers: If you'd like me to remove the 'icons' from the desktop, it's got the proper HILLS AND SUNSHINE background! Medical terminal: To do: - patient tracker terminal - operating terminal - security cameras - security records - whatever are those two machines in the HoP office - AI upload - genetics terminal - intercoms - anything you point out I've missed Link to comment
Baka Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think I salivated a bit, these are so sexy looking. Link to comment
Jboy2000000 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I agree that most of the stuff does seem a bit old considering were over 400 years into the future, but I don't know if I like the list you made to change. If we change this stuff, it will look out of place for the entire station, even the two you already much crisper than half the station, and the medical terminal (what I assume is what is attached to full body scanner and sleeper) looks like its from the front, while all the sprites for them currently are all from the sides, and technically the library computer should also be from the side.

Rechkalov Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 the medical terminal (what I assume is what is attached to full body scanner and sleeper) looks like its from the front, while all the sprites for them currently are all from the sides, and technically the library computer should also be from the side. That's a good and constructive point, which I will take into account if more of you feel this way. My reasoning is that, aside from the eletronics, everything (walls, floors, tables, chairs...characters) are not under an angle. If anything, I believe this would 'unify' the sprites in their angle, rather than make a mess of what we're looking at. Link to comment
Susan Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Shuttle control consoles. Like really. Could at least look like a craft's dashboard or something, like on Goon. Link to comment
Valkrae Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 mrw i saw these sprites Link to comment
Rechkalov Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Oh come on, people. All the angle does is that the terminals at medical are literally facing the wall. While everything else is pictured from the front. Is this really what you want? Edit: The front. Everything else. Link to comment
Thundy Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not sure if this belongs here, but could we update to sending emails instead of faxes? Like, who even faxes these days, let alone so far into the future... Link to comment
LordFowl Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Business. Faxes are the proper way to send forms and documentation. Link to comment
mrimatool Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Faxes are used by businesses ALL THE TIME still today, court documents are also faxed. Link to comment
Cassie Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yes, by old people. Old people use faxes. Heck, I don't even know if I've ever seen a fax. I'm too modern for this. Link to comment
Thundy Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Businesses are moving toward completely paperless systems to save on costs and the environment. Emails would be outdated even then but at least they would be a step up from the current fax machines. Edit: also git spacebook in dis gehme, lolkthx. Link to comment
Rechkalov Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 The people have spoken. I shall proceed in fashion similar to the examples already present. Thank you for your feedback! Link to comment
K0NFL1QT Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hello, Rechkalov. I didn't see another thread for making suggestions to a spriter, so I'm going to put this here. Updating the consoles is an extensive project that will make Aurora at least 110% cooler... but I also have a small spriting request. Can we get a couple IPC heads that aren't box screens?

Most certainly. Do you have anything specific in mind? Otherwise, I'll just throw some random sprites at you and see what sticks. Link to comment
