I've always played HOI games using counters. Sprites never excited me. Looking at a map with vanilla sprites was like looking at a plate of worms, all twitching, made me feel uneasy, and I found it hard to concentrate and think of a "strategy" with all that motion going on...
Up until now, to make sprites, you had to do 3D modelling etc etc. Everyone followed the same path, no-one thought of making 2D sprites for a 2D map?
3D sprites mostly, are blurred, animation is poor (the turret "twitches"). Some are excellent of course. But it's a niche effort, few have had the time to bother.
Today I present my 2D sprites. It's a wake-up call to the DH player masses out there. You too can mod sprites. Just draw, and drop it into the game. It's really satisfying to see your work in-game.
I've completed these so far: I'm not ready to post a full Mod yet. But hopefully soon...
Can I add: I cannot draw. I'm not an artist. These tanks are the first things I've EVER drawn. So don't let this stop you from trying it, ok!
