Description
Keep in mind that these are still first-draft graphics, so please don't judge us too harshly! :)
Well, here they are, the first graphic-icon representations of the skills that can be experienced in-game.
By the time people are playing however, some of these may be removed and others added.
I'll leave it to you guys to try and work out what they are! :)
(From t.l. to b.r.) Offense/Defense axes, O/D pikes, sneaking, pickpocketing, trading/mercantile, healing, O/D wooden clubs, O/D mauls, potion brewing?, ?, mechanics?, ?, crossbows, short bows, longbows, shields, beer brewing, cheese making, masonry, ?, O/D morning stars, O/D clubs, ?, cooking, farming, inspecting?, O/D longwords, O/D spears, tanning, ?, writing, mining, O/D swords, leather working, ?, butchering, ?, O/D short swords, trapping, weaving, timber craft, woodcutting, O/D daggers, metal casting, woodcraft, ?, O/D sticks, white-smith, silversmith, coppersmith, locksmith, O/D fists, goldsmith, armor smith, something-smith,weapon smith.
That does it, I think.
Nice try, but keep trying :D.
I think for the first-draft graphics these look really good!
Thank you! There are a handful at least though tat I think need reworking. :)
i cant see any i would rework
Well the Lockpicks are too rounded and look more like blowtorches, and most of the metal items in the icons have outdated Palettes and are more shallow than I'd like, in colour.
The foraging basket looks like a burn victim and the polemaking makes little sense. :D
I would redo the backrounds for them, since theyre very... "cheap" (gradients never work well IMO)
Icons as a whole looks awesome!
+1 to this.
I'd like to get a much more sassy thing going on, but I think i'll leave that to a future trademark that will evolve in-game.
Looks like the game is getting back in gear :D
