Title: Emoticon Upgrade?
Post by: auhsor on Fri 24/09/2004 12:17:44
Well I was looking at the emoticons on the forum, and thought that the whole roger ones, mixed with the default yellow ones wasn't that great. I thought I might convert them all to the roger type. I also modified the current roger ones to make them slightly larger.

I havn't finished converting them all, and feel free to modify my attempts to make them better. Oh and I wasn't sure if this should be in the Critics Lounge or not, so I just put it here. Maybe if we can all agree on them they could be implemented into the forums. Well they don't have to be, but I think they look cool :P

We did this a few months back ...

http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=15265.0

I don't think anything came of it, other than the Larry Vales one being added.

I wouldn't mind a competition where people can enter their own versions of the smilies ... might be fun.Ã,  I think it was decided that too many people liked them 'as-is' (I don't remember and I didn't re-read that thread)

I know I entered a few of my own design ...
Title: Re: Emoticon Upgrade?
Post by: auhsor on Sat 25/09/2004 01:46:32
Oh yeah I remember that thread now. The difference with these is that they are roger style, so they might appeal more to those on these forums. I was originally just going to convert the yellow ones into roger, but then found that he looked a little better a bit larger. Maybe its just me.

Excellent blend between old and new style!

Just a few things:
- Raise big eyes on "Shocked" one pixel
- Widen sunglasses on "Cool"
- "Undecided" should be like the old icon IMO
- Can hardly see tears in "Cry", use lighter color

I love them and would like to see them implemented.

One Thinking Gal ._. NEW!!!
(http://netmonkey.cellosoft.com/temp/smileys/otg.gif)

I'll post the animated ones later this afternoon, so they should pop up, but I don't have time right now to put them together and I gotta go soon...

Here's my logic behind the smileys
1) Keep the "essence" of the original smileys and convert the yellow ones to roger
2) Improve the look of Roger to a more Roger-lookalike face (like proportions, etc)
3) Keep the original roger colors from the AGS palette

Other fun things:
- I always wanted to make the OTG smiley, but I didn't figure it would work out... but I think it did this time.
- Roger's glasses on the cool smiley are inspired by Jake McUrk's (Pleurghburg)
- Roger's look on the shocked smiley is the closest to roger's original look in AGS. I purposely placed the mouth slightly to the right because of that. Roger opens his mouth when he's shocked, and this was inpsired from Aushor's shocked smiley... even though in the original yellow the smiley doesn't move his mouth.

How about we just keep the curent emoticons?
Or just dump them altogether?
I mean, jeez, they're only smilies.
No need to change/debate change, in my opinion.

Good work - I really like the new designs; being slightly bigger means it's easier to see the expression, and I too just love auhsor's "huh" smiley :)

If nobody has any objections, I'll certainly use them as the new smiley set.

Oh, and SQ4.5, for your blasphemy you shall be expelled!

So does anyone have any preferences about whether to use auhsor's or netmonkey's versions?
Title: Re: Emoticon Upgrade?
Post by: Tiki on Sun 26/09/2004 17:04:46
I say we use the ' :D ' version of smilies, and change the ' ::) ' style to match.
Title: Re: Emoticon Upgrade?
Post by: Al_Ninio on Sun 26/09/2004 17:06:07
I prefer keeping the current set, but if I have to choose, I'll go with Auhsor's.

That may be, but it makes it harder to make out the expression IMO.

Just a pixel would be enough:

Petteri, I think the o_O smilie's eyes are too dfferent. Perhaps make them both white-eyed but one slightly bigger? A more subtle o_O :P

And SQ4.5, just look in the Games page. You know, there really should be a "Classics" subcategory with the games mentioned before on it.
Title: Re: Emoticon Upgrade?
Post by: Edwin Xie on Mon 27/09/2004 01:58:04
AHH!! Don't show "o_O"! It scares me and makes me remember the time I had a mosquito bite on 1 eyelid and then I have 1 eye slightly bigger. I agree with QuantumRich, it should have 1 eye slightly bigger (so I can't notice the difference of the two eyes).....Sorry if I uh, anger or make someone laugh (I feel embarrased about the above story :-[ ).
Title: Re: Emoticon Upgrade?
Post by: TerranRich on Mon 27/09/2004 02:14:44

Actually the o_O and O_o ones shouldn't be made roger, they're wambii.

Title: Re: Emoticon Upgrade?
Post by: TerranRich on Mon 27/09/2004 14:51:21
Oh, see, this entire time, I thought o_O was just a generic expression of bemusement. I didn't know it was a wambus. (Whatever the f_ck it is.) :P

Yeah, a f_ck smilie! It would basically be Roger with his teeth gritted, eyes wide open, basically frustrated and/or pissed off. Like: (http://www.terran-x.com/images/f_ck.gif).

I was thinking something along the lines of (http://www.terran-x.com/images/wombus.gif). No?
