AI: Uniform appearance & polish, alternate looks? - ividyon - 09-08-2013 I'm working on new sprites for our lovely AI. What I'd really like to see in the game is equalizing all AI displays - the mainframe, the upload terminal and the status displays - and changing all of them when the AI updates it's status. I hope this is easy enough for the coders to realize, as I really think the AI could benefit from a uniform appearance across the station. I have most of the work done to make all of the AI displays look like the mainframe smiley, including all emotions. However 1) I can't remember all emotions 2) I don't have access to the "wrecked" versions of the mainframe sprite, which means I can't supply those. Once I have all emotions and all mainframe sprites, I'll upload the complete, game-ready sprite. Also, once that's done, perhaps it might open the way for alternate appearances that AIs could select at game start? I could also work on sprites for these. I dunno how difficult the coding work involved would be, but that'd be really great, since players have very different AI personalities and sometimes the smiley face just doesn't fit. I got the following emotions done: happy, very happy, sad, angry, neutral, BSOD. Am I missing anything? Anyway, here's a preview: ![]() What do you think of the idea (and the spritework)? Re: AI: Uniform appearance & polish, alternate looks? - Ines - 09-08-2013 You could make one for when the AI is thinking or busy, like an hourglass! Re: AI: Uniform appearance & polish, alternate looks? - ividyon - 09-08-2013 Adding bonus emotions really wouldn't be a problem spriting-wise. I really need those wrecked AI sprites to continue my work, though.. :c Re: AI: Uniform appearance & polish, alternate looks? - Weavel - 09-08-2013 They're adorable Now we need some background colours e.g. a lovely shade of red also allowing the AI to do emotes to change face would be great Re: AI: Uniform appearance & polish, alternate looks? - Spy_Guy - 09-20-2013 These are amazing and needs to be included as soon as possible so I can be even more adorable as an AI. (the AI resprite was the best thing ever) Re: AI: Uniform appearance & polish, alternate looks? - Lavastage - 09-21-2013 yes. just yes. I would love to see the ai's face change when it sets its status.
