#42 DC font tests!

Well I've put this on the back burner for awhile: how to present the game name graphically!

I've had my eye on a few different fonts. Mainly Betty Noir, Drive Thru, Rocket Script and Vacation Postcard (the first three can be found on dafont.com, I'm not sure where I found Vacation Postcard... :P ). I started by typing each one out and then using each one to type out Data Crash. That went okay though none of them really stood out to me. Then i started mixing and matching and I think I found a few combo's that work!

Top to bottom we have:
Vacation Postcard (the 'd' and 'c' with tilt) combined with Rocket Script
Betty Noir with some resizing done
Vacation Postcard (the 'd' and 'c' again) combined with Drive Thru

For me the bottom one really looks good though there is something in the simplicity of the Betty Noir that is also attractive. The top one has potential, maybe adding something through filters might make it more appealing. I'm just testing things out here. i spent a few minutes looking through fonts at dafont.com and found some others that I also like and might just download later in the week and mess around with. So far though the third set is what I'm really digging right now. I'm also thinking of putting some color to these too. Just have to match the blue I used to paint the figures or get something close to it and come up with a red.

#41 The last of the Legacy!

Wow! I have finished all the Legacy army pieces and it feels great! My next goal is to finish the printable pieces so I can get some more play sessions in. Oh right! Here's & picture of the Legacy barriers. I need to get a pic of all the Legacy army together.

#40 A post got lost?!

Hrmmm...somewhere between my phone and the internet my original #38th post was lost. Which is weird since it shows up on my phone when I want to edit my blog then the new #38th post shows up when I view my blog.... confusing. Well, the original #38 just covered my completion of the code scanner and the start of painting the Legacy barriers. Oh yeah, there were pictures too....

Ok, it just showed up. Now it's #39. Take that continuity!

#39(#38 original) Onwards to eventual completion!

Not much to say today, completed the code scanner and have started the legacy barriers. Things are coming along nicely I will probably start on the board after the barriers are done. The big guy is the Code scanner the others are barriers, I'll explain those later along with everything else.
*just realized i posted 3 days in a row, might make this a habit!

#38 Test print pieces

Wow, I had a lot of activity for about a week then it all ended. I hope in the next month to get more active again in regards to game making. I'm almost done painting all the figures that have been made so far. I think I just have the Legacy barriers to complete and some details on the User Avatar to finish. So onto the purpose of this post!



I was fooling around with some token ideas awhile back for a different game (one that involves tabletop warfare) and thought it might be nice to make some 2d pieces to use with DC mainly due to me not wanting to break any of them from transporting them around. I basically just made a hexagon threw in a pic (of my favorite character) and I think it should work fine. Though Omar is working on some new versions of the characters... maybe I should just take pics of the completed miniatures and add some fancy effects in Photoshop. I like that idea better. Guess that means I better finish all the Legacy side figures...

So here's the test piece anyways:

I haven't quite gotten the color down, Photoshop keeps wanting to correct it. Now I'm thinking maybe I should make everything outlines and hand color them. Okay, that's about it for me tonight. I'm watching Adventure Time and that's pretty distracting.
