What do you think about placing an ORK logo at game start?
I would like to insert something as a personal appreciation to GiL and his work in my project, so a logo when game initializes could be a nice way. Any thought?
GiL, do you have anything against it? Maybe you could set up a simple logo to show when game starts, with an option to be displayed or not in first loading. :)

I'd appreciate it :)
Will look into adding an option to do that automatically, for the time being, if someone needs the logo, just send me an email with the resolution you'll need it for.

@GIL just give out a really high res logo you dont have to make different res for every one. the higher the resolution the better since you can downscale a image with out loss of quality

Email sent. :)

Kaemalux , damn good idea :)

Catacomber

Yes, Kaemalux, that is a great idea. This is how I did it. If anyone has any suggestions, just let me know but it adds a flare to my Loading scene and hiding all HUDS in that scene, I can have it show up for awhile. You don't get a choice whether you see it or not but it's tasteful so I don't think that matters.

The gold background fits in with the two scenes it's in between. It's not a fancy background but sometimes I think less is more and Apple more or less believes in that idea. I didn't compress it for mobile because I don't compress anything I want to be clear, like my splash screen and icons. I did run it through Tiny Png first though which keeps the clarity but cuts down the file size. : ) I used Photoshop's Text tool to add my own text.

Thanks, Gil, for everything you do and for the ORK Framework.

Nice!

Trying a different version of the logo---am a big fan of Edward Gorey---

Kaemalux

Idea is great, but i think the font isn't perfectly suitable to the environment. :(
Maybe it should be adapted for your intro. :D

Catacomber

Can change my font. Thanks!

Catacomber

So far, this is my favorite but it's fun to experiment. I hope using my own font for "Framework" is ok. : ) I'm picky so not sure if I'm done tweaking this yet. Not sure if maybe made with ORK would be enough. :)

Just a thought. I don't know what GiL is like... but there might be something he might not want to be associated with.

Key in point, Epic saying they aren't associated with Hatred. In similar fashion, what if someone made a porn game or ISIS promotion game, etc... Though, I, personally don't care much about that, I can see people wanting to distance themselves from certain things. So GiL should probably put out a set of things he might want to stay away from in case he gets attacked by people for supposedly promoting or get promoted by "evil."

@Catacomber is far from evil... very very very far from evil...

Catacomber

Yup, I'm a pussy cat. :). Thanks, wtyson. : ) Only my boss monsters are evil and none of them are spawned by Isis. :)

Only by evil wizards. Most role playing games have a touch of evil to fight against. That's how you become the heroic one. But I understand the point. I think most likely he would be against things in games the same as those things he doesn't like to see in the forum.

I think monsters and evil and all the other bad things we have to deal with are sometimes best dealt with via rpg games. It gives us an outlet. : )
