"Free" Overlays, and my life now.

Hello everyone, It's me again.

Last time I made one of these posts I recieved a decent amount of interest, and made a few overlays for members of the community. Unfortunately I ended up flagging and lost touch with the project, I might have tried harder but I ended up having to deal with the loss of my job and a fairly unsettling period of depression, culminating in the loss of a loved one, which ironically is what lifted me from my apathetic and despondent state.

When I recieved the news all I could say to my mother was "no" over and over again, I couldn't believe it and I didn't want to either. The next few days were a blur for me, packing and and starting the drive to my horrid destination, but I thought at least I could see some family I hadn't in some time. Nothing has the ability to bring people together more, I think, than funerals, weddings and births. But despite the hugs and shoulders to cry on it was as terrible as a thing can be, seeing her lying there, so young - only 17 - my baby cousin. And it was then that I realized how silly and inane my worries were, and how tiny my problems.

The looks on my aunt's and uncle's faces were evidence enough of the pain and suffering of loss, the truest form of anguish, the loss of your child... I couldn't bear to face them at one point knowing what I knew about my own feelings and thoughts of "escape" from pain. I felt so stupid, how could I not have seen it before?! The world is full of happiness and opportunity, and it was that loss that I could see in their eyes...the loss of all the opportunities and moments together that they could have and would have shared with their daughter. Even now the thought makes my eyes water and my chest tight. But I feel now, like I did at that moment that there is something beneath that feeling, something deeper and stronger, a commitment I will never break, made to Meagan gone at 17, her parents and myself; I will keep going.

Life is not about having everything you want, but wanting everything you have. Being able to enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer, while still being able to maintain balance. My life is more balanced now than it has been in years, and despite everything that has happened lately I feel much better, and I'm looking forward to the future as I get closer to it one second at a time.

Thank you,
Zren


So as before I am offering overlays to the community, I have branched out from just sc2 overlays and can basically do anything you request.

Please, post your name, Screen Resolution, Streaming Res, Any Sponsors and/or plugs that you would like me to add to the overlay, some general information (what you plan on streaming and how often, etc.) and some basic design info such as colors you would like included and your preference for curved or straight lines. I learned my lesson last time and pm's will be for further clarification :D based on the information you give me here.

Thank you all!! :D

P.S. My former post was this one right here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=334978 , it has some early examples of my work, and you can actually see some of the progression that I made from REALLY BAD - fairly good!

man. I know how hard it is.. Only yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of the death of my father. The day before was the funeral of my great uncle Gerard.
I know it is tough and I am glad to see you are taking it well. As shitty as it sounds, sometimes the death of a loved one can be inspiring. It can make you feel urgent to make changes in your life for the better, and can even help bring a new lightened perspective to things.

Keep doing what you love to do. You should do free overlays and give people the option to donate to your paypal or something. Keep fighting. Keep on mang.

All the best mate!
Keep working hard to find happiness.
So many give up, don't be one of them!

I would love a Fallout-themed overlay for the size 1680x1050.

Lost my sister at a similar age recently. I am glad that you have found the same type of inspiration I did, even despite the extreme difficulty and sadness it brings about. One love, man, and I'm glad you're back in it.

If I ever start streaming, I just might hit you up.

I would like two different versions. One for streaming tournament games, and one for streaming myself on the ladder. The tournament version, I would like to remove the tabs from top of my screen.

Screen resolution: 1920x1080
Stream Resolution: 1920x1080

Name: BreAKerRush
Sponsor: TTesports.

Main Colors: Lots of black and gold with a "faded paint" effect if you could do it. Try to make it look hardcore.

Other plugs: A spot for me to place the map name, preferrably above the minimap position.

That's a heavy story, great to hear that you're dealing positively with it and that it even had a positive impact on your life. All the best for your future!

If you're still doing overlays:
Name: Jan
Screen Resolution: 1920x1080
Streaming Resolution: Gets scaled down to 852x480 due to shitty internet
Other: SC2 Stream (Terran/Random - maybe two overlays for both sessions? ^^), no sponsors or teams. Sometimes some coaching though. I really love the terran embleme so that would have to be at the terran overlay.

Send me a pm if you are still accepting offers for some more details. Your work is much appreciated!

Hey there!
I hope your situation is better now! Things like these are always hard to deal with...

If you are still active:
IGN: CCevo
Stream Res: 1280x720/1920x1080 (depends on my current internet)
Screen Res: 1920x1080
My Team: Logical Gaming, www.logical-gaming.net (there is a logo on that homepage, would be cool if you could implement it!) I would really love making the overlay not too big or too fancy. For colours I'd love to have green/grey/black (team colours^^)
Race: Protoss
If it's possible, could you do and overlay for League of Legends as well since i sometimes play it with my RL-friends?

Greetings and good luck in the future,
Marcel

I'm sorry for your loss, but just remember that you are making all of our lives better by helping us get super epic Overlays for our streams

If it's possible, I need both an in-game and an out of game overlay.

Screen Res: 1920 x 1080

Stream res:1280x720

Name: Stefanovich

Main Colors: Orange, black and blue.

I am a protoss, and don't have a team or anything, so if you could incorporate a protoss logo, and maybe a cool graphic of a protoss unit or something that would be awesome. I also was curious if you could add my twitter on there maybe on the out of game overlay.
@Stefanovich_NJ
I also want to have a slot for the a webcam, and if you can make some sort of "Logo" of my name (Stefanovich) and stick that on there. And when I say logo, i just mean put my name in some sort of cool font using the theme colors.

you can message me on here if you have any questions. or email me at Slitzenberger13@gmail.com. I hope this works for you, and I'm sorry it's so ambiguous, if you have any other questions go ahead and ask. I will do what I can to help.

*Edit* also, this is for HoTS Thanks!
