Natural selection advertisements

<div class="IPBDescription">Spreading the word about ns</div>Well, a while ago someone said something about needing new advertisement images, so when I was bored today I made an attempt at creating one. What so you think? If you think it is good I’ll make a few more, I have ideas as to what would go in them already so all I need to do is make them up <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Personally, I like it.  Nice and small, too, for those hurting for space.  I'd like to see what else you can come up with, maybe with something a little bigger...

    Don't forget to sell the RTS elements, too!  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Thanks for the positive feedback. I suppose I'll make some more. And don't worry, I'll include the RTS element in the marine version of the advertisement.

    I'd really like to here from MonsE about the size, when some people made larger ones they were turned down because of their size, so I thought it was safe to simply make it the same size as the current one.

    True.  Anyplace with a large audience is going to want a small ad.  Still, those with personal web space may want something a little bigger...

    Just a suggestion, and yes, I think it would be good to hear the PR guy's opinion.  Evil?  Now paging, Monsieur Evil...

    hmm, perhaps a little less delay between 'Have you ever wanted to' and 'evolve'.

    I kept thinking wanted to what ... <b>wated to what</b>!?

    But that's AWESOME! I love it. Mabey you could do a Marine version, same words, just diff pics, and a blue color scheme.

    Yea, sorry about that, I'll be making about 4 more, so do you think I should dredge up the old topic or keep this one?

    As for the marine version, Ive got plans, and yes, blue color scheme.

    I really like the sample (and agree with Silver's point on the rotation speed). I want to see more to these!!! Great stuff.

    Very awsome! You should show them to Flayra!
  • NovakoalaNovakoala Join Date: 2002-07-17 Member: 962Members, Constellation
    Hmm. Not sure if this will work (I kept fiddling around with the transparency). If it doesn't work I'll change it and post it again...
  • NovakoalaNovakoala Join Date: 2002-07-17 Member: 962Members, Constellation
    Argg! That didn't work. The transparency was totally messed up... (I intended to make one with a black background)

    I'm really sorry about this, but I'm bored senseless here. Here's the black one (why's the text gone off? Blast).

    I dunno.  I'm not really sure that Natural Selection is the express elevator to hell. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bored.gif" border="0">
  • NovakoalaNovakoala Join Date: 2002-07-17 Member: 962Members, Constellation
    It's just something Hudson says in <i>Aliens</i>... I couldn't think of something really catchy.
  • FlayraFlayra Game Director, Unknown Worlds Entertainment San Francisco Join Date: 2002-01-22 Member: 3Super Administrators, NS2 Developer, Subnautica Developer
    Yeah, that Aliens quote doesn't really convey NS...it conveys...Aliens. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->  Cool idea otherwise though.

    I love the first one, very nice.  Definitely speed up the first frame though, it's too long.  Also, is there any reason why you are displaying the aliens in "reverse" order?  I think it would be more intuitive to show them starting at the level 1 going up through the level 5.  Very nicely done, that's exactly the size and quality we're looking for.  If you want to change the timing, I'll pop that up in the FAQ for others to use to link us.
  • NovakoalaNovakoala Join Date: 2002-07-17 Member: 962Members, Constellation
    Sorry. I can't find any decent NS pics this size, so I'm just able to use text. Which means I have to find snazzy slogans. Which I just can't do.

    Take 4, nevertheless:

  • Carbon14Carbon14 Join Date: 2002-07-29 Member: 1025Members, Retired Developer
    Sorry Titan, but I have a fair bit on my plate at the moment. Besides, I'm kind of addicted to NS and am not greatly interested in much else <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    However if I do have some spare time, I will try <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

  • NovakoalaNovakoala Join Date: 2002-07-17 Member: 962Members, Constellation
    Wow, nice work Carbon.

    <sighs>

    It's way better than my attempt(s). What font are you using there?
  • Carbon14Carbon14 Join Date: 2002-07-29 Member: 1025Members, Retired Developer
    Here's an attempt at the marine version.

    The font is ZeroHour

    Nice, you've managed to compact the marine ideology into a tiny wee banner, very well done. I'm thinking of doing a largish flash movie displaying each of the aliens, their released abilities and stats in order. With all sorts of zoomie effects and targeting crosshairs and so forth, like a short marine training video.

    This is version 2, I decided the text was a little difficult to read <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    As for what your suggesting Scythe, it sounds interesting, however I'm not sure where it would fit. I suppose if it was good enough, it could be made into a general presentation on NS and add it to the website, so new visitors could have a nice overview to look at.

    Tell me if you want me to stop, please. It's just I've nothing to do so I'm spending my time making these animated gifs.

    That's very cool, SilverFox... apart from the filesize I'd say it's perfect.

    I think the alien one was betetr going fromlevel 5 down o 1.  The text made more sense in that roder and it just seemed better. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
