It has been a long time since I posted a screenshot of HexScape.

Here is a screenshot of the latest feature coded : Secondary select.

It allows, with ctrl + click, to select other figures, for instance to show the targets of an attack !

What I'm looking for is an icon to use for HexScape. The must would be to have different size for the icon. On Windows 7, icons are used of sizes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 and 256x256, The 256x256 is rarely used. I was thinking the icon could show the letters "H" and "S" for HexScape, perhaps in a hexagon ? But I'm pretty bad for visual design, so if you have better idea, feel free to try them !

Are you extremely attached to the current version of the logo? Because I wouldn't mind making one for you...

[Lyrgard]

Thanks all ! I'll do my best !
@Evar-Scarcarver : I somewhat like the current logo. What would you change ? 2 things you need to know :
- The current logo is actually a VirtualScape map I display
- The logo for HexScape need to not be affiliated to Heroscape. What I mean is that the tiles on the logo change color depending on the game you are playing. If you use the Hexagonal Chess game (the only other game available for now), the HexScape logo will take the color of that game, that is black, white and grey.

So for a new logo, I would need it to be either :
- a VirtualScape map
- or a more simple logo (image) that won't change depending of the game, but then not affiliated to Heroscape.

If those constraints are ok for you, feel free to propose something !

The next release is drawing nearer and nearer !

I added a wooden table under the map, and a sky (not sure about the current sky texture yet, but it is coded) :

And the same picture, with Antialiasing enabled :

Spoiler Alert!

To make you wait, just an idea Tandros (a member of the french forum) had during playtesting the new version.

A whole new world for map makers. He made a map named "Virtual", here are some screenshots :




Virtual is a map that is impossible to make in real life, because it would need some pillars to support the upper level.
But HexScape is not bothered by trivial matters like gravity !
By his own words, Tandros didn't push the concept very far yet, still the possibilities look awesome !

Imagine what kind of map you will be able to play on with HexScape !
Infinite tile supply ? Check
Map with inner holes ? Check
Floating tiles ? Check !

Stay tuned !

Beautiful! What's the difference between the two pictures?
