For some legal reason they actually cant use fan art. :undecided:
I still think they should just make all the wallpapers in the media section the loading screen arts. I mean there would at least be one for each class and wouldn’t take more time to make, given that they are already created.
They have the cool drawn images of the classes… Scale em up, or make a collage out of it. Just google Grim Dawn, and you already see some collages.
That being said, another option is the the ingame stuff itself!
It is so good looking, they could just put nice screenshots in there, maybe with angles that are not possible with the ingame cam (without GUI ofc).
You don’t really need to put an artist on the task to draw new pictures. Just be creative. Puzzle stuff together. Use ingame stuff. Other games do it too.
It seems a no-brainer to use the class wallpapers as loading screens. They look great and they fit the purpose like a glove. I’d assumed there was a technical reason they weren’t used. I didn’t realize they were not even considered because they weren’t good enough quality (which sounds ludicrous to me).
Yes, the already completed wallpapers would provide some nice variability with very little effort on the part of the developers. I agree that it’s a very minor thing, but considering it probably takes very little effort to improve it, well…
As Crate as such a small team, if anyone stops what they are doing to spend the time on this, then it delays the new build and it delays the expansion. Plus I suspect that Crate know best as to what’s a quick job and what isn’t.
I would agree with most of you but most of the time I don’t even see the load screen. It’s gone within 2-3 seconds on first load, every other load is hardly even up for 1 second.
