Woohoo!
How about someone contacts GSP for a 'New Icon Release' party?
Great news! :)
Nice new indeed, Grats !
Congrats Doc! This is awsome news!
Great :) congrats on getting your work out there :)
WOW
Great news for us all :)
I hope to see your work in game as soon as possible....
(guess next patch is out of question, but.... :D )
on test server, Means assured me they were just taking the time needed to make things legal and all with it. i'm happy to see that was closer to achievement that we all thought !
so GRATZ to you doca, & now i hope that will be a very next patch (surely not the next wich is concentrated on Daily & Collector, but may be the following ?) to see all those cool icons ingame in the year !
"For now, it seems that the reused inventory icon is on its way toward purely historical status, but who knows..."
Pushing your famous status to higher heights, here is a direct link to your interview/article with AOU.

Thanks again for taking the time to talk to me!!
Best wishes,
Kate
Yeah, great news!! graz Doca :)
Congrats Doc. Can't wait to see new icons in-game :)
I didn't read through whole thread so don't know if this has been suggested but could you update also the perk actions? Many of them use the same graphic and way to know which one is which is to memorize your quickbars (mouse hover helps but usually no time for it in midst of combat). It's difficult if you got many chars and if their quickbars have same icons but have different meaning... at times it's difficult even with one char's quickbar. Can you identify which one of the perks in that quickbar includes stun effect?
Even with AO on my back burner for now, I'm sending Means the stuff I already made in batches. Also, the new contract I'm working on begs me to take a break from time to time, and doing new icons is like taking a break for me. Here are some new icons I did for the Bio-Materials..
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...ewBioMats1.jpg
The top left (first) icon is meant to replace the bottom left (old icon). and the subsequent icons are for pristine, mutated and the typed bio for the regular AI weapons. I'll do some for the type ofab ones as well,.. same style different color/layout for them.
Let me know what you think. I think they are an improvement, but do these new ones clash too much with the old icons?
Cheers!
i like the idea, the types are for sure unreadable at the moment, requiring list display or mouse over to recognize each. same applies to LE types wich will turn yesdrop soon.
now, graphically they're a little "flashy" like this. i don't think writing BIO on every icon is needed. may be the type number could take more space, like a "secret file" stamp over a microscope screen ?
i'm sure you'll come with some cool stuff anyways.
I agree with the BIO text not being necessary. I also think the MAT, PST and MUT texts are unnecessary on the top row. The icons are distinctive enough that once players have read the item description a couple times, they'll remember which icon is for which item.
The plus and minus signs make me think more about electronics. Could you perhaps use something more DNA-like instead? Either a rendering of a DNA strand with its double-helix structure, or a sequence of little blobs like in your picture, but with the symbols A, C, G and T instead of +, - and 0.
You could remove the symbols from the unidentified clump, further reinforcing the idea that its exact nature is uknown.
Viral serum might also need a new icon after this. (As well as all the other stuff using the same "vial of liquid" icons...)
Grats on the release form, can't wait to see these in game too.
As for the types versus the bio mats maybe should be either more "blobby"(like bubble wrap) or strand like to distinguish them. Just my 4 pennyworth. I am not an artist - lol :)
phew... finally done reading all them reply's.. but wow major things happing with doc.. seriously congratulation's on the contract, and i too hope to see them graphic's in game, as well as the dam graphic engine..
