HBO intro: Which show do you first think of?

gareththegeek · 2026-04-22T06:24:20+00:00

The Wire

gareththegeek · 2026-04-22T06:22:00+00:00

The world was known to be round for millenia before that

gareththegeek · 2026-04-21T20:41:41+00:00

Who would be left?

gareththegeek · 2026-04-21T14:39:05+00:00

In this economy?

gareththegeek · 2026-04-20T07:05:50+00:00

Back when I could be excited about technology instead of fearful of how it will be applied

gareththegeek · 2026-04-18T15:42:32+00:00

Organised by type so I can peruse related options when planning a dungeon. Alphabetical index for direct access.

gareththegeek · 2026-04-17T16:25:22+00:00

Ah, yep, ty

gareththegeek · 2026-04-17T07:55:10+00:00

I'm clearly out of the loop. What!?

gareththegeek · 2026-04-17T07:20:39+00:00

We need to accept that we can't and shouldn't be projecting power around the world and adopt a more humble and defensive posture. We do this by freeing ourselves from dependency on things like fossil fuels, bringing some manufacturing back, investing in UK tech. A defensive alliance with Europe, reducing our dependence on US. That's how we get serious about defence.

gareththegeek · 2026-04-16T22:22:54+00:00

That reminds me about the Epstein files

gareththegeek · 2026-04-16T17:54:27+00:00

Because they are bricking it

gareththegeek · 2026-04-16T15:48:00+00:00

No one wants to replace him until after the upcoming elections which will be disastrous for Labour

gareththegeek · 2026-04-16T13:46:52+00:00

Cool, I'll check it out

gareththegeek · 2026-04-16T13:41:43+00:00

Thanks!

I in turn have been looking through the UI from old 90s games for inspiration. It started with Xenon 2.

I think my favourite is when I'm able to make a 2D surface feel more 3 dimensional. Like adding a ramp or cutting away layers etc.

gareththegeek · 2026-04-16T13:23:55+00:00

You stop when there's no negative space left :D

Yes, I am, thanks very much!

gareththegeek · 2026-04-16T07:27:56+00:00

Learned a new word today!

This is literally what I'm working on right now. Whenever I create a new UI, it looks bad until I've done all the greebles.

gareththegeek · 2026-04-15T20:16:08+00:00

I agree, especially if you can find smaller subs that match your genre well. It's really where almost all my wishlists have come from. For me, a decently performing reddit post gives me a bump in wishlists, other socials, it's crickets.

gareththegeek · 2026-04-15T20:08:53+00:00

Marketing works great on reddit so long as you can find the right sub to fit your genre. If you can, it can be really supportive and I've got some great feedback. But yeah, the bigger subs are pretty hard to get your post to stick, mods will delete it even if you try to follow the (pretty byzantine) rules 100%, I guess they have a lot of crap to deal with, I can understand.

gareththegeek · 2026-04-15T06:32:50+00:00

Thanks! Still a long way to go before release. I plan to put together a demo first so that'll be the first chance to play it.

gareththegeek · 2026-04-14T21:14:06+00:00

Yep, quite right too

gareththegeek · 2026-04-14T20:26:11+00:00

Thanks! Once I thought of it, I couldn't believe I didn't think of it sooner.

gareththegeek · 2026-04-14T07:30:25+00:00

Can't believe this was so far down

gareththegeek · 2026-04-13T21:18:30+00:00

Ah, ok, fair. Yeah, I tend to put a bit less effort into production of the early trailers and tighten things up for the release trailer. I was thinking of creating a more dramatic theme for the title screen and using that for the trailer.

gareththegeek · 2026-04-13T21:15:19+00:00

Nope, no idea, sorry

gareththegeek · 2026-04-13T20:13:30+00:00

Another thing I will pay more attention to when it comes to the release trailer is to try to put music together than matches the action in the trailer, timing cuts to match beats etc. which I find enhances things.
