The Brikverse

[Tzan]

The yellow boxes are solar systems.
I might put little boxes around them for the planets.
The Suns might be different colors.

What's the legs representing?

[Captain-Camper]

Looks like you can use this as a hub.

What's the legs representing?

He is the fashion model for the Brikverse Leg Waxing system.
"You need smooth legs to rule the Brikverse".

[Tzan]

The very small boxes are unimportant stars.
I increased the color variation and elevation of the galaxy background from 3 to 5.
I made the space that the main stars are in, a bit yellowish.

[Tzan]

I made 2 normal maps.
One for the terrain.
One for the Landscape items, trees.

So I have a question.

When zooming in and out between levels, like Universe to Galaxy.
Which sounds better?

ZoomIn, ZoomOut

or

ZoomDown, ZoomUp

I started with thinking In/Out
But I just began making GUI buttons and thinking I would have arrows pointing Up and Down.

[Hiremas Alkerith]

Whichever one is easier, but to me in/out feels better.

Boring. Why not MAGNIFY and MINITIZE

Moar Space / Lez Space

I've already written the Actions for this as Up/Down.
But people never see this, so it doesn't matter.

I do have to put buttons on the screen and make text descriptions, and these don't need to follow my class names.
I thought of another
up/down arrows with the text: +, - on them.
So plus means to zoom in and go to a lower universe number, So plus to go minus one level number, Level 7 to Level 6, sounds confusing.

Maybe just the arrows with the word Zoom on them.

I just noticed I hadn't posted the latest version of the Universe and a Galaxy.

I got zooming to work, next will be Level 5 Solar System.
Busy with regular work over the last month and the next 3 weeks.



I lightened up the look of galaxies.




There are too many stars in that last image.
I edited the text file and now galaxies have about 60 stars or less.

Are you still working on this? it looks super Ossum from the website screen shots

[Tzan]

Yup, very slowly.
I have to work a regular job to make money though and that slows things down <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a>.

Need to make a few more changes to zooming, then I'll start on a Level 5 Solar System screen.
Level 4 Planet System is super similar to 5 so should be rather easy.

I plan to finish by 2010.

2010 haha well keep up the good work, like I said it looks really kewl
