Post by **joeyz** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:24 pm

Ok Guys, I made many new powerups for you. Here are just a few. I need your vote on this one. Which powerup is good for the new FREEZE powerup. Both are cool animated snowflakes. Which one would you like?

Description: FREEZE Powerup
Purpose: Freezes monster's movement and fire to slomo so you have pleanty of time to deal with your worst threat and finish him off.

Which one looks better as a SNOWFLAKE...A or B ???

A.

B.

Here is another cool powerup you will see real soon...

VAMPIRIC!!!

Description: Vampiric Powerup
Purpose: Twice as powerful as Energy 5, sucks the blood out of the monster (visual blood line animation coming out of monster)

Vampiric = DONE
Freeze = DONE

I also need powerup icon ideas for...

NullEntropy
Propulsion
PullForward
Rage
Reflection
Rejuv
Stone
KnockBack
Iron

Thanks guys.

They both kinda look like rocketcluster and wepsummon, but I would say A looks better

Oooo nice job!

I like them all, I can't decide which freeze powerup I like best right now tbh.

I'd usually go for the first classic snowflake design but that second one looks really cool (pardon the pun) and a bit meaner than the first.

I dunno really.

Everyone knows the classic snowflake but the second one looks a lot more sci-fi and I like that.

The vampire one is just right imo, reminds me of b b b b Batman.

Yeah joey you might wanna change the look for the weapon summon cause it does look WAY too similar to it.

But I like B.

Ok, i thought that too, resembles summon just a little. However, your just looking at a still photo. Once you see it rendered in real-time mode it looks different. See the multi-sky colours inside it and the snow bubbles in it? When you see this powerup LIVE all this stuff is full 3D and animated. It looks like a a snow storm on the powerup and the center snow flake sparkles like glitter as well. I tossed a summon and freeze powerup side by side, you can tell them part pretty easy. When I patch server, you guys can judge it for yourself, then I can change if needed. I am sorta running out of colours for this item, maybe like a crystal effect or blend of white would look cool, will experiment.

If any of you guys know how to 3D Model, you can help. This way I can focus more on code and fixing other small bugs on server or packages.
Still need more ideas for the rest of the powerup deisgns.

Thanks Jet, scorpion would not be hard for me to model in 3D at all. What do you guys think of a Magnet with beams pulling a monster as a "pullforward" powerup?

Dunno if anyone likes this one, it would probably look a bit better without the sucky texture I used for the pic.

Its my idea for an Iron powerup, a sort of blacksmiths anvil.
