Badges

I like Statesman's first badge with Silver's Shine v1.

>badge is a clone trooper

@J1M @rusty_shackleford

Feedback like this is welcome, but the threshold for me to change the badge is that a draft of a proposed new idea is shared at the appropriate dimensions.

For example, what happened with the Bloodlines one.

What does this mean?
They're the right size are they not? Also isn't it rusty's decision?

It means it is much easier to have the time it takes to make a new pin pay off if the feedback is "I'd like one that is like this" instead of "Make it different somehow".

I think J1M meant that comment for Starwind/Other Badges in general, not Bloodlines directly. I can help with other badges if/when there is a standardized format for them. Does Starwind have any icon/logo tied to the mod?

The wording was very unclear it looked like you were referring to the Bloodlines badge

I disagree.

[Making a change has a cost. If you want a change, do X]

[Example of X]

[J1M]

Started using the Vampire: The Masquerade Revised Edition Symbol (1998-2011) as the reference:

Then aped the "current" one:

And removed a few pixels to mimic the simpler in-game icon:

Or with Silver's Shine v1

Shine+Shadows

Is this wanted?

I removed a small artifact from the one that looked like it would fit the best with the others. I'm also not opposed to the shiny frame. But I don't want to export everything again.

The Exile and Hexx badges make me think we could do better for the other Classic AG pins. Essentially, retain the pixel art look as the distinguishing feature instead of the two-tone banner. Well, except for Amberland. That's my favorite one.

Personally I don't think Starwind, a ~2023 Morrowind mod, needs to have a pixel art badge.

[Vergil]

The shine is cool but I guess it wouldn't fit with the rest of jim's not as good badges so it's fine to use that one.

[J1M]

Personally I don't think Starwind, a ~2023 Morrowind mod, needs to have a pixel art badge.

Pretty valid point. In the interest of starting a largely pointless discussion, I wonder if pins for mods should have their own distinguishing style, such as being sepia tone or black and white.

Another rusty cosign, devastating evidence of it's poor quality

Imagine complaining about programmer art.

What an arbitrary metric.
Imagine complaining about video games. ;^)

Since the current Dark Sun badge is based off the menu button, I figured we can use the actual button if we want to convert the whole badge to pixel art.

Edit: Here's a version that has the sun higher up.

I like the idea. What do you think about retaining the black in the center? That's how the logo appeared on the books prior to 4e and it's visually interesting.

I like that better, since the button as-is is very plain. Some creative license for the badges rather than doing 1:1 copy of the game's pixel art doesn't hurt.

@rusty_shackleford there was a request to update this one too.

[logincrash]

Whoever prettied up the VtMB badge did an amazing job.
The Deus Ex badges are still offset 1-2 pixels, though, so somebody should fix that.

[Tangerine]

Is it possible to change the order of the badges so all the classic AG ones are grouped together?

I don't have screenshots but I'm hoping this could qualify me for at least one badge:


I've beaten a few others on the list, but did it mostly back in the day using the actual cd-roms, before Steam or GoG, so I don't have any proof to submit at this juncture.
But that's alright, it's all the more reason to go and replay some classics!


Edit: Thank you!

[Eyestabber]

King Arthur: Knight's Tale deserves its own badge. One of the best RPGs from recent times.

[J1M]

Nominate it for next month then.

You need to beat this month's game to nominate.

[Bertram_Tung]

I noticed some people have a Mars: War Logs badge.
I beat that recently, can I please have teh badge. Very quick game btw




It wasn't posted in the Adventure Guild History thread so I didn't realize it was eligible.


Edit: Thank you!

There are two stray pixels on the Dragon Age pin:


Can't see them on the file I uploaded here:

@rusty_shackleford

Trudograd pin didn't have the background cropped to give it rounded edges:


Here's an updated file:
