KickStarter We need more buttons

Couldn't even get Lutte to ignore him.

1. The animation. If you look at existing buttons, there is animation when it serves a function. That laughing dude is animated because it conveys meaning about the button better. Let's apply that to the fishy button. What information does the animation on your fish convey? Nothing. It is purely cosmetic, as if buttons were made to be admired. But in this case, this slight movement of the button is more of a distraction than a help, an attention trap. But buttons are not what we want the user to focus their attention on, it's the text. Better without it, for its function.

2. The realism. Fishy is supposed to be fishy. It is supposed to convey the meaning "something's not right" or "smells bad". Yours is just a fish, too realistic. It is "too right". The less realistic version is better suited to expressing a nonliteral meaning. It looks fishy itself.

That’s probably the best constructive criticism I’ve gotten in the whole thread and all I ever asked for in the first place. It’s not about quality however, but rather style. If anything, it’s “over qualified”.

Regarding the complexity of animation, the current buttons go from 2 frames to a few more (excited button). I figured two frames would be ok for each button but I can concede that it serves no purpose for fishy.

Such a challenge. You pick the only button that isn't egregious among yours. You know what you're doing here.

Well considering you were telling me to fuck off a message ago, I figured you wouldn’t be much inclined to give me critique about all of my buttons. If you are here’s an updated challenge: Which one of those is lacking in quality (as opposed to style)?

I think my “angry Dixon” is better in every way to the current one. Might have too many frames. One way to deal with this could be to only animated if it’s been selected and static otherwise.

Speed it up so it looks real funny when he bashes his desk at mach speed.

Salute:

Could he salute a bit less uh violently? It looks like he's hitting himself on the forehead. Also he should do the sieg heil, it conveys kkkodex kultur

I say this to all the girls.

I gave you plenty earlier, but you were ignoring me, or ignored me for it.

You mean technical quality? You're the pixel artist, man.

The best I can do is to remove a couple of frames to make it faster:

or make the animation last longer:

 

[Humbaba]

Could you also remove the frames where he stops pounding so it looks like he is very comedically bashing and yelling non-stop?

R: has more blurry characters? the others look better

I like N, interesting variant
all the crying ones were more expressive in your earlier versions

please stop

He won't stop. He think's he's somehow special. He's been at it for a month now. On olddex this retard would have half a dozen tags and would be prosperised by now.

And the attention whoring again.

Make a good button, and it might get implemented (or not). It took a long time for some of Zombra's suggestions to get implemented, and tbh most of his are way better than anything you've shown so far.

i've literally never seen more SOULLESS "art" ever in my life

it's painful to look at

That's definitely not bad

 

[InD_ImaginE]

this guy has more dedication to make Codex button than some people have with their job

 

[Ol' Willy]

These two are really good, I think implementing these would be a good choice

 

[Fargus]

Thanks:

They all look retarded and ugly enough to represent an average codexer. Not bad.

This one looks like underage homeless crocodile addict:

I’m now open to taking requests. Some which have been mentioned so far:
-Shut up Vatnik! (I was thinking doing a Russian head being progressively crushed by a stomping boot)
-Baiting (a fish hook)

Explain which button you’d like done and the description of what you’d like to see as well as whether you want animation or not.

-Shut up Vatnik! (I was thinking doing a Russian head being progressively crushed by a stomping boot)

Hmm this is a good idea! Now I have to say that I rated many of your posts negative, but I´m an honest guy, and I am not afraid to express any change of mind, and such a button I think is a faboulous idea. If DU would actually implement such button, that would be huge incline!! Imagine the butthurt! So exciting!

I've posted it before, but to no avail:

BAWKBAWKBAWK! x 1

For denoting cowardice. Probably better left unanimated (or atleast, not animated to take paces like this one I stole from Metal Slug.)

And another:

Batshit x 1

For highlighting insanity. A splattered-white decal of a bat, potentially with animated drips.

And another I've thought about on occasion is a 'Tough-Guy' button.

Crossed-arms, bulging muscles, loud shades and an protruding lower lip; either as the codex troll or some generic dude. Perfect for both real tough guys and pretenders.

 

[Zombra]

I like that hustle Ghulgothas ... I think we already have all of these though. Batshit in the form of WTF am I reading, Tough Guy in the form of Edgy, Coward in the form of Bro, do you even lift?
