Yeah I remember those, great work Kevyinus!

Yup it is, I had to make it modernish and it looks cool. I had enthusiasm back in my youth .

 

[Birger]

Say.... is there anything you can't do?

Anyway, thanks - once again.

Yeah, those darn units. gotta learn soon.

Glad to help out.

It was pure class on my part course .

It took time, but really its easy in photoshop. Printscreen the loading sequence at the end just before it goes onto the menu screen. Then the use of layers on photoshop to recreate the shape, and deleting the old background, inserting new etc etc .

I see... how do you just delete the old background like that?

I wasn't too happy about the last one I made for Ryo, so here's a new one:

I like quite a lot myself.

Well when you paste the printscreen in photoshop it becomes a background layer. then when you use the shaping tool, it should create a new layer over the background. then you just need to re-select the background on the side menu, delete it, then bring in the new background putting it behind the shape.

Well, that last image looks awesome. Unfortunately, the menu covers up the cool ship in the center.

Thanks, will try that.

Well... since that image isn't good for a menu screen, I think I'll just snatch it for a loading screen instead.

Thanks for the assistance, Kevinyus - although I just used the orginal loading screens instead of a screenshot...

Another request from Ryo:

I like that picture. Would be good for a gigantic wall canvas. But I am a dark brooding wizard, you know, so I couldnt use such gallant and bright imagery for my backgrounds.

I agree, it's too bright. Now be a good boy and use the one I made for you, dammit.
