Cantr II Discussion Forum

I think seeing one without the other would be hard to distinguish the difference between them.

I'm impressed, mainly by the speed they were prepared at! Wonderful. I'd have preferred a green drip, since I think that image would be the only image not in keeping with the Cantr trend... But I'm no hair splitter.
Awesome stuff!

These icons are great! Surely they will be useful. The only one which is maybe not very informative is the first one - starvation.

My proposition is to make sad Cantrian more starvated. I can not make graphics but I like, so I've created one in some variants:

not very cute, eh? But at least very Cantrian

Maybe that's better?

Or this one?

Or this...?

If you have graphical skills it would be great to see more interesting icons.

EDIT:
@up: I think it's good that bloody icon contrasts with the rest, it will be and it should be easy to notice, because wounded man is a quite rare sight (at least in majority of the towns).

I think it would be great to use different skulls for different grades of starvation, possibly corresponding to the starvation levels suggested in the other thread. The more starved you are, the bonier (whiter) the face becomes.

Here is the green drop by the way:

In my opinion the red blood is better, the green one looks like a drop of water and... it's not bloody enough. .

I made small simulation how it could look like: (IT'S NOT A SCREENSHOT OF A WORKING FEATURE, WHICH IS IN THE EARLY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT)

Green blood


Red blood


What do you think about it?

i like the green drop. im addicted to the green!

I like the green. Anything else just doesn't feel very Cantr-y and is sort of jarring/unpleasant to look at.

I like the red because it shows up better. I love green, but ... in the case of injury, I think red is better. The green just doesn't stick out very well.

I would like to make better use of the page. Something like this maybe:

I think the layout of greeks images seperates the icons well. In my opinion, Echomans example looks a little like picture scrabble. Too much on one side. (lol, no offense, echo).

I'm loving the variety of colour, but it still looks out of out of place with the rest of Cantr. Just the two new simple colours make the page spring to life amazingly well.I'm torn both ways.

i like echomans version way better. i was going to suggest it, but didnt know how to say it.

I like Echoman's version, as well as the idea of using multiple skulls for starvation. It would solve the other problem that people had with starvation descriptions contradicting some custom descriptions. Also, red drop all the way. I can see how some people might have problems distinguishing between the light red and dark red drops. I can see them perfectly, however. One looks pink and one looks crimson to me.

Can't you put an option to select on what side of the name it will be? Left or right.

Initially, I liked Echoman's placement better. But the more I look at it, the more I like Greek's. It just feels too cluttered and overwhelming with the icons if they're put on the left side. Putting it on the right separates the status buttons from the action buttons far better.

An option to have it either way would be nice, but if it must be decided one side or the other, I vote for the right side of the name.

I like the icons better on the left since it looks more neatly. If we want to put them on the right side, we should put them in an own column and not just append them to the name.

Greeks image has too much whitespace (greenspace?) I think. Maybe bcause it doesn't show all the actions? This is an actual screenshor from one of my chars with status images added after names. My whole point being that we should use the available space better, and not have 1" gap between action-icons and names. If status images are to the left or right is seconday.
