Xenrathe of StarCraft tactics is doing a great job programming the engine and making some very cool custom abilities, here’s a preview of his latest creation, the high-end Summons: Arcturus the Lost..

it also shows a bit of the custom ui that I’m working on for this game.

Talking about custom ui for this game, here’s a quick preview of the next part I’m workin on, the Character dialog..

which is based on the original dialog from Final Fantasy Tactics

As you can see, it’s not completely finished yet, but work on it is progressing good enough for me to say that I should finish it by tomorow evening.

StarCraft Tactics

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Aside from the Monopoly map I’m making for StarCraft 2, I also joined a team that attempts to make a StarCraft version of the old Final Fantasy Tactics game for the Playstation. My job for this project is to make the user interface. I’m planning to keep it as true to the original as possible, but ofc adjusted to fit into the StarCraft sci-fi theme. My first goal is to recreate the battle ui, which is going pretty smooth already. Here’s a quick demo of how it looks in-game.

and a demo of the game-engine made by our project-leader, Xenrathe

I always loved playing Final Fantasy Tactics, so when I saw that someone asking for help on recreating it I jumped at the chance to help him.

Innervatix

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

It’s time for me to post another sexy addon, I think I already promised this one a few posts ago, a sexy addon especially for Druids!

“What does it do?” I hear you say, “How does it work?” I hear you think, “Oh God NO!!!” I hear you scream.

Well, here is what it does; it shows a sexy warning to remind you of innervate at 55% mana, another warning at 25% mana and a last warning at 5% mana.

These are 3 individual frames, with 3 beautiful ladies. They can be placed anywhere on screen just by dragging them around. Be carefull where you point your little clicker tho ;)

At this moment of release there is a small bug that gives an error message when you start WoW, you can safely ignore it and the addon will function just fine. I’m working on a fix for this, but as of yet I haven’t been able to locate the fault. The error was not there in the previous WoW-build, so they changed something in the way lua works to cause this…but what? Any help or suggestions are ofcourse appreciated.

Playboy MiniMap

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Here I am again with a new sexy addon, but without the naked chicks this time!! No need to worry, there are no naked guys involved either :) No, this time I bring you a minimap shaped as the playboy bunny logo!! Featuring a nice gold border to finish it all off.

Now I recommend using an addon to clean up all those nasty buttons sitting around your nice new minimap, because they really spoil the incredible pimpness this addon brings to your WoW gaming experience.

In fact,  I have gone so far as to include one in the package, a small addon called MiniMapButtonFrame. What it does is the following, it takes all buttons around your map, such as the zoom, calendar, mailbut also all icons created by other addons and rounds them up into 1 pull-down menu that you can place anywhere on screen, change size of and even skin.

Download the entire package **HERE** or by clicking on the image below..

What is this UI?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

I’m not sure if I mentioned this in previous posts or not, but I am building a custom ui. A preview image of it has been posted on curse.com a while ago when I uploaded the first version of my Lock’n'Load addon.

The image has been sitting safely on Curse.com without much attention, imagine my surprise when I wake up this morning, check my mail and found a message from XenaCharon asking what UI I am using, in fact, he or she started a thread about it on Curse.com. I am flattered :)

Well for those curious, I am planning to release a fully finished ui someday, but for now it just isn’t ready enough. If you are still interested in it, go to the thread on Curse.com where I will be discussing the UI in more details.
