Why I don't contribute to CA much anymore

[2:07:07 PM] <Kaine[CA]> Oh, jk reverted my GPL estor model and texture because it wasnt designed around the 
peewee.
[2:07:07 PM] <Kaine[CA]> Hmm.
[2:07:11 PM] <Kaine[CA]> Somehow Im not surprised.
[2:07:19 PM] <Kaine[CA]> Well that wont do at all
[2:07:28 PM] <Kaine[CA]> Im gonna take a saktoth inspired approach to this.
[2:07:35 PM] <rattle> designed around the peewee...
[2:07:47 PM] <rattle> seriously you need a paper describing the style
[2:08:00 PM] <rattle> it's already a mash up
[2:11:30 PM] <Kaine[CA]> the peewees a mashup?
[2:22:32 PM] * Disconnected
[2:24:52 PM] * Now talking in #cadev
[2:42:30 PM] * Disconnected
[2:47:00 PM] * Now talking in #cadev
[2:55:11 PM] <[PWN]Overkill[NOTA]> exactly why i decided not to make crap for ca....
[2:55:47 PM] <Kaine[CA]> responding to my comments right?
[2:55:59 PM] <Kaine[CA]> ive been disconnected a few times
[2:57:03 PM] <Kaine[CA]> In any case, I can deal with it
[2:57:17 PM] <Kaine[CA]> Perhaps not without some grumbling, but thats kinda the way CA works
[2:57:29 PM] <Kaine[CA]> revert wars arent anything serious around here
[3:01:56 PM] <[LCC]jK> !kick Kaine[CA]  wiki-style commits!
[3:01:56 PM] * Channel message: <ChanServ> has kicked <Kaine[CA]> from the channel (reason: wiki-style commits!)
[3:01:56 PM] * You have been kicked from #cadev by <ChanServ> (wiki-style commits!)
[3:02:41 PM] * Now talking in #cadev
[3:02:59 PM] <Kaine[CA]> But yeah, jk does have it out for me a tad exxcessively >_>
[3:04:03 PM] <[1uP]Ashnal[CA][s44]> lol
[3:04:14 PM] <[LCC]jK> I WON'T LET THIS MOD DIE!
[3:04:29 PM] <[LCC]jK> I SPENT TOO MUCH TIME ON IT!
[3:04:35 PM] <Kaine[CA]>  ...because thats my secret plan?
[3:04:38 PM] <Kaine[CA]> >:D
[3:04:47 PM] <[LCC]jK> you commit shity stuff
[3:04:56 PM] <[LCC]jK> not that you are the only one ...
[3:05:08 PM] <Kaine[CA]> So it was just because you didnt like it.
[3:05:10 PM] <Kaine[CA]> Figures
[3:06:30 PM] <Kaine[CA]> Well, as I said before, Im taking a page from saktoth on this.
[3:06:39 PM] <Kaine[CA]> If you dont like it, Do better, or f*** off.
[3:07:39 PM] <[LCC]jK> i tried!
[3:07:49 PM] <[LCC]jK> but my texture sucks too!
[3:07:54 PM] <[LCC]jK> and i don't commit it!
[3:07:57 PM] <Kaine[CA]> lol :D
[3:08:02 PM] <[]sandman[NOTA]> http://www.smouch.net/lol/
[3:08:05 PM] <[LCC]jK> i know what sucks!
[3:08:11 PM] <[]sandman[NOTA]> ops srry
[3:08:14 PM] <[1uP]Ashnal[CA][s44]> and this is why i hardly do anything
[3:08:20 PM] <[LCC]jK> i commit only 70% of my work!
[3:08:23 PM] <[1uP]Ashnal[CA][s44]> because most stuff i attempt sucks
[3:08:34 PM] <[LCC]jK> so SHUT THE FUCK UP!
[3:09:04 PM] <[]sandman[NOTA]> http://www.smouch.net/lol/
[3:09:19 PM] <Kaine[CA]> lol indeed.
[3:09:30 PM] <[]sandman[NOTA]> lol

CA GUI Incomplete (kinda crappy) Concept

Logoish thing I did in GIMP

Nanolaser "databeam" texture (unused as of now)

Buildpic overlays for sea and air, if we ever do symbolic ones

Saktoth: Id suggest we just rely on the background, ala supcom. Water and Air units dont need to be marked (a ship or plane is obvious), while amphibs should be taken on a beach with water making up a part of the image.

Complete Annihilation installer theme (currently being worked on)

Concept logos for arm and core

Saktoth: I think these are too busy, it will be hard to see them clearly at low res on models. They also seem to follow a good vs evil theme.

Licho: I agree with saktoth. Logos should be 1 color only and more simple. Core logo looks "evil" (could be improved by turning upside down), and arm logo looks too simplistic/geometric for a side concerned with the perfection of form.

Kaine: Right, complexity of the logos can be used on other things, but I see now they arent practical for what were doing. Ill try to work on simplifying them. I dont even like the core one anymore, so Im trying somthing else with that. Arm I think is great in concept at least, but needs a little something else to emphasize the whole perfection of form thing.

Saktoth: Do you guys like that 'perfection of code/perfection of form thing'? I dont want to be dictating the story entirely here, this is a collaborative process.

Licho: the logo is still too complex. I really suggest it should use just 1 shade of color - just one color and as simple shape as possible. That means its up to shape to make the impact, not up to coloring/small details which WONT be visible. Its then easier to see from far and easier to recolor by team colors etc..

Kaine: No one likes them I guess, though I seem to have inspired a couple of other people to try their own logos... thats cool. Possibly due to my crappiness. Ill put up the old core one, It was to evil looking for its use, but I like it and it could be useful on somthing else.

CarRepairer: Just for the record, I like the devilish core one you made, even if it's not suitable for the game we're making. I like logos that aren't just a bunch of circles and triangles and look like mickey mouse. Something that is simple but still looks like you drew it rather than generated geometric shapes. I guess we're kind of looking for Core=pure unfeeling logic and rationality, Arm=emotion, art and beauty.
