Jita Park Speakers Corner

Got any comments on art or anything you'd like us to tell the art department? This is your thread!

Optional Hi-res texture packs. And make this happen, please make this happen. While corporation and alliance logos would be much easier to start, eventually I would love to see paint scheme options for all ships like in the link.

N ot A, I like that last point.

Addng a carrot as opposed to a stick always helps us in discussions, thank you

How about replacing the godawful loading screen with the unreadable white bar on black background with something more graceful? And what about an iconic animated Character selection screen, thematized for each expansion and with custom new music, as the old iconic login screens?

This game was deemed a work of art by the MOMA, but obviously they haven't logged in since Odyssey and the fugly launcher, followed by the uber fugly black screen and the you-obviosuly-wasn't-intended-to-see-this-first old character selection screen.

As it is, each truly new player (a rare breed) will be confronted with total fugliness and dullness, opposed to the awe inspiring login screens which every veteran player has fond memories of.

High Resolution Texture Pack, easily.

Iteration on engine trails and flares? Is any more work in the pipeline on those graphics?

Iteration on turret effects? Prettier pewpew instead of fuzzy blobs and lines?

I may get strung up by I don't terribly care about the High Res pack. Stuff like memory usage stats for it would be nice though, just so we can get an idea of how bad we're talking about exactly. Eve across 2 monitors is easily the most graphically intensive thing my computer ever does (I keep the AC running while playing Eve and have to turn it off after or I freeze)

Ship pallet swaps would be nice, as would custom decals, though from what I gather this is less something we have to push for and more a "when is this going to be ready" thing... >.>

Oh! More iteration on some of the *really* old in-space set pieces like the asteroid mining colonies and some of the stations.

The spindly colonies in missions aren't bad... they're also a bit underwhelming though and date back at least one art update. Some of the Gallente Stations look rather off as well, which sucks since they're otherwise very visually appealing to most people. Seeing some of their stations remodeled to look more like a place ships park and less like a glass sculpture that barely holds 4 guys and a pet rabbit would be nice.

OH! Minmattar Outposts! Fix those huge freaking graphics, I swear one of those "windows" has a manikin in it the size of a frigate.

Here's a list of thoughts, concerns, questions:

- There's a feel that most of the art team is being diverted to other CCP projects, could we have some sense of how many folks are working fulltime for EvE art development?

- Keep pushing more ship remodels!! All the Tech 2s that still have the same model as their Tech 1 variant should be getting a pass.

- Caldari cruisers, OMG MOAs...

- Are we ever gonna see some more Avatar/Incarna/WIS things being developed beside tattoos and tshirts? It would be nice to have at least all the clothing / accessories options that we used to have pre-incarna (avatars really felt more unique to each race then). I would also like to see some more station interiors with things to do (explore derelict stations!!!).

Houm, I don't think that releasing the clothing items finished at Singularity but unavailable at TQ competes to Art team, but certainly would be nice if those items were made avaialble.

Also would be nice an update on how cold is the dead body of Fanfest 2012's racial blending proposal.

I would love to see custom skyboxes for every system, so those of us who navigate by landmarks can feel more immersed in the universe. When Dodixie's sky is visibly different to Mirilene's sky, I will be a happy camper. This could be an optional at-cost feature, which I would happily pay, say, a PLEX or two per region for.

Also: command ship models?

I think you mean remodeled..

But then... KEEP YOUR FILTHY PAWS OF MY GLORIOUS SUITCASE DINOSAUR!
