Back in the days of Warcraft 3 and the first Dota, I loved the loading screens in the game where a bunch of skills were displayed in a row, so to speak, all in one package.
It looked great.
I decided to do the same for myself.
There are some problems, Heroes 5 was made in the days of square monitors with a resolution of 1024x1024. In principle, I'll try to deal with this, now everyone has a classic 16:9 aspect ratio. So I'll need to try 1920x1080.
Icons are 64x64.
In total, there are 256 icons on a 1024x1024 screen (16 icons in length and 16 in width).
Plus alpha shadows for each icon, which means another 256 images in essence.
And if I do it for 1920x1080, that's 30 icons in length and 17 icons in width (510 icons, plus alpha shadows for them, another 510).
For testing, I've already tried to do this for the first parts. Some of it turned out...
But the amount of work ahead for just one loading screen is making my eye twitch and my head spin xD
I don't even know... is it worth it? =)
