Finally managed to crack this one up. Let me know what you all think. I will work on the other buildings but it will take so much time to finish all.

Zerg would be almost impossible to finish but we'll see.

It looks so cool! I wish Blizz would just add it to the game.
I'd argue it might VERY limitedly affect some pro games when scouting.

On the actual look: we might be too used to gateways not glowing. It looks ambient compared to others that 'buzz' with activity. (not that it needs to flicker like the Stargate)

Very cool! I think Artosis was talking about this topic a month ago, though not always showing off this additional information could have been a design choice by Blizzard and not necessarily the game being "unfinished"

Of course it's a design choice.. Pretty insane to think otherwise lol

It is not a coincidence both the DT and Observer production buildings don't blink. Also the way it is is fair, because Zerg gets to hide they're upgrading and Terran is OP.

is there a reason that you have made a separate thread for every random thing you are adding to this thing you are selling for 50 dollars when other free projects like shieldbattery have just 1 thread

As interesting as the work has been, I do think it should be dedicated to one thread as well.

Decent effort. However, the problem with the animation is that you are making it darker, not lighter. By definition it is subtractive [from the original] and makes it less satisfying and frankly incorrect.

[image loading]


To put it simply, if you turned the crystal light off from the first image, it would not result in the second image. Light doesn't behave that way.

It would be better to overexpose the crystal to complete whiteness or something. Beyond that I would say it should be more subtle. Ideally, it's less of an undulating wurrrr at windshield wiper speed and more of light refracting through a prism, but I wouldn't expect you to go through all that.

Not to poopoo your effort, but I think the incompleteness of the game is fine. Maybe Gateways just be lazy. Like look at he spawning pool art. It looks like a razor thin bisection of a piece of meat hung on a wall.
