Title: Final Revision of potential new Brickmania bitmaps
Post by: midkay on June 04, 2006, 08:54:42 PM
Alright, I finished "v3" of the Brickmania bitmaps. This is more than likely the last poll I'll hold on the topic. Your choices are between the current, CVS ones, "v2" ones (the darker version of the bitmaps that appeared in the 'attempt two' poll", and "v3" ones, ones I just remade based on several "they need to look more 3d" and "bricklike" comments.

The new ones are rather similar to the v2 ones, but they have more of a brick texture, and a bit stronger highlights/shadows. Also note that the v3 ones have different textures on each color bitmap, whereas the CVS bitmaps and the v2 bitmaps have the same texture on each brick, just with different colors.

The winner of this poll (if it's by more than a couple votes) will probably end up being the bitmaps that stay.

Er. I may have forgotten to check the "let users change their votes" option.. and I can't change it now.

Maybe when Llorean comes by he can enable that option and/or fix your vote.. otherwise we'll just remember -1 for v3 and +1 for v2.

Call me a pedant, but the lighting is cast from the wrong direction: top-right instead of top-left. ;D

Top-right just don't look natural, baby. :-X

I don't like any of them now. The v2s are too dark and... well.. lacking contrast because of it. While th v3s have a little more contrast, but that funky texture.
=/
Also, poll should be edited so users can change their votes.

:(

The v2s are the exact same image as the "darker" ones in attempt two.. I personally liked the lighter version of those, but everyone seems to love "darker".. sigh...

Voted for v3, just 'cos it has "texture"... but wasn't the whole point of this to remove the texture for simple cross-platform re-scaling?

To be honest. They all look kinda okay. Wouldn't complain about any of them. It's a very simple game. How much time do you really need to spend of the block texture?  :P Good work anyway!
