Skinners, Artists, Coders, and Testers Needed: Community Suite

Happy Birthday!!

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Community

After the success on the Troll Thumping Day Suite some members of the Mother Thumpers are coming together to create the "Happy Birthday Suit(e)".

I envision this suite centered around a DX gadget that counts down to your birthday. On your birthday the gadget will prompt you to download the most recent incarnation of the suite components so for your special day, your desktop will celebrate with you.

At this point we have some components assigned to artists but this is a collaborative project and welcome input and assistance from everyone. Please jump in and help out if you'd like.

Thanks AV. There are too many ballons popping at once and that sound seems too much high for it. May be a softer sound will work.

If you haven,t found one yet I can probably digitally reduce the frequency and tone it down?

I've updated the Original post to reflect what has been done and what is pending and so on.

I expect that much will get done after the WB is finally posted.

If you have signed up to do something and can give status that would be great.  If you want to take on one of the open slots that's be fine too. 

  • Green = complete
  • Orange = need status
  • Blue = open
  • Purple = known status

Ok so that is a not a lot picking up the 16 colours from the background which is theAVMAN's
wall which is why I used it to go with suit, so got lack of choice here pallet is a lot of shades of pink try and change it and just get ignored and stick with pinks,
as all the balloons were pink on first try with this background moved on a bit from there .

Quite happy for someone else to come up with a better BootSkin.

I think you are doing great with the assets you have to work with.  Bootskins are a real challenge because of the limited color palette.

Anyone have any ideas?
