An interesting loading screen
« on: May 10, 2010, 10:10:30 pm »
What about make a loading screen that would have the map's cool backstory, briefing etc.? (à la ETQW?) There would be a Go/Start/OK button in the lower right corner after the map has loaded to get into the game. Would add mood to the maps & game.

Indeed. This would also pretty much be a prerequisite for a campaign or any map where there is an alternate means of victory than destroying the enemy base.

Heh, I think we discussing that yesterday in the EU server, meisseli? I remember because I started talking about a full-size Overmind plushy chair afterward... Heh.

Well I think a few maps have subtitles beneath the map titles in the loading screen, can't remember the names of some of them, though...

Called me a noob again and i'll... *feels banhammer button about to be pressed*..let you think about what i'd do to you :)

Well, my loading pic gives a pretty accurate idea of what any game in general is about.

Plus, reading a backstory of a map with a connection greater than that of a nooblet pollak,such as yourself, would be fairly impossible to do.

Nice idea i guess but no one cares about the story some map might have or something. Tremulous is about destroying your enemies and saying lol noob when you win and haker when you lose.
