Hey everyone, this Geeklist is no longer in use, please use

Video Game Microbadges - Design, Discussion and Request Thread to submit and discuss



Welcome everyone to the Official Geeklist submission for Video Game microbadges. We will try this system over on this side of the Geekdō to understand if this could work, and how good this system is.

This geeklist is for submissions regarding Video Games and VideoGameGeek. For microbadges for Boardgmes and BGG, go to Microbadge Submissions, Design, and Feedback (post all new microbadges here before submission), for RPG microbages go to RPG Microbadges - Official Submission Thread.

If you want to discuss the process, request microbadges or just talk about VGG microbadges, go to Video Game Microbadges - Design, Discussion and Request Thread

These are the rules regarding the process:

1. Before making a new design, search the current microbadges and make sure you are not duplicating an already existing badge. We have setup a thread (Video Game Microbadges - Design, Discussion and Request Thread) if you want to kick around ideas or get help with your design before you post it. While you can enter it and then solicit feedback, I've seen that it often takes the community to help drive the very best badges. If you are unsure, post your idea in that thread and someone can let you know if it's been done before.

2. Create your badge. The badge must be exactly 16x16 pixels. Transparency should be handled by the creator (so we recommend PNG or GIF with transparency).

3. After you have a finished design and want to discuss it a bit more, add an item to this GeekList with your badge in the body and a poll where users can decide if the badge is done or must have some tweaks.

4. Allow a few days for users to comment on the badge (reply to the specific geekitem it is attached to) and then do any tweaks that are necessary.

5. If you have more than one design choice for your microbadge, add a poll about them on your post, that should help everyone check and help you finish the design.

6. You must wait at least one week after listing the badge here before submitting it to the system as we want the Microbadge community to have some input to help get the best microbadges on the site.

7. Once the wait period is over, submit it to the system using this form. The approval process is not automatic and it may take some time before an Admin can can give it a go and approve. Approval by the community does not necessarily mean approval by an Admin.

For general info on microbadges, go to Microbadges Wiki Page

I really like the letter badges, although I preferred the colors you used initially on your first draft posted in the request geeklist (specifically the orange, which seems a little washed out now, I don't know if that was your intention).

As for the faces, Fable fan's looks really cool, the colors are great, but I'm having some difficulty making out the other two (besides knowing they're two little heads of course), but maybe that's because I'm not familiar with the games (?).

Not specifically directed at these badges (besides, I know nothing about the Fable games, and I'm aware the requester specifically asked for one of each), but more of a general question/rant: in the case of videogame series, isn't a more generic "XYZ series fan" badge (or 2 or 3 or whatever) more appropriate for most cases? Maybe having one for each is appropriate for the most popular games, or in the cases where there are very specific fans of specific versions, but generally that isn't needed, right?

I didn't like the solid orange outline my first draft portrayed and the second 'f' was encouraged leading me to this one.

The faded orange halo captures more of the glow from the cover imho anyway.

if i had to pare these down I'd start with the first two (first face and 'f') and if there was a call I'd suggest the 'II' and 'III' after that. But I'm not the one going to sport these badges so i guess we need to hear from anyone who might be.

I really like the faces, but I agree, if you know what you are looking at, they look great. I am kinda drawn to the 'F' 'II' & 'III', just because they all seem to flow together.

This game introcuced me to the RTS genre... Still love it for that

- Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty fan
- Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty fan

Their both units used in the game, one in 2D, the other one in 3D. I strongly prefer the green one...
They're both a bit more pixelated than I'm used to deliver but since that's the way they looked in the game I only smoothened them very lightly.

Yes, it's the actual speech sample. I can't remember whether the other Houses had identical warnings but they probably did. The Harkonnen one just keeps ringing in my ear every time I think about the game

Might have been "unit" instead of "units", though.

I looked it up (= I googled it):
"Atreides unit approaching (from the south/east/...)"
"Ordos unit approaching (from the south/east/...)"
"Harkonnen unit approaching (from the south/east/...)"

All Houses had their warning line. Might indeed be a good mouseover!

I sorely miss a flight simulator player or flight simulator fan MB in VGG. (The video game genre, not a specific game or series)

After trying some stuff with joysticks, HOTAS and the likes, which was all unsatisfactory, I changed my (landing) approach:

I thought it best to re-use already well-known elements from existing MBs. So I took the MB of 'military pilot' and the monitor from the 'I spend more time on BGG than playing games' and mixed them to, what I believe to be a great flight simmers microbadge:



Poll
What Flight simmer microbadge should be submitted?
monitor with plane with blue air background
monitor with plane with transparent background
monitor with plane with white background
None of these 3, because they need to be improved regarding...
      7 answers
Poll created by _Kael_

Mouse over should be "Flight simmer" or maybe even better: "Military Flight simmer" (with room for an additional MB based on the monitor + air line pilot MB for Flight simmer/ Civil flight simmer)
The background color in the monitor is a color sample of a real air photo, to further the 'air' feel. But maybe the one with white or transparent would be better?

I am a big proponent of recycling elements from other badges, and I think you have the right elements here, but the jet is a little tough to make out against the blue background. I couldn't tell what it was until I read your post.

I'll replace the poll and upload one with white as soon as I find the time. (Edit: done) Thanks for supporting the idea however.

Edit: BTW, not being recognizable what it is: that's fairly subjective. I've had MBs rejected with that note, while I see tons of MBs where I have no clue what the MBs's supposed to mean until I mouse over. Recognition is also based on what you already know... Although I do agree that a non-blue background enhances the overall recognizibility-factor in this case!

True enough. I think the white is a big improvement in this case, though. I'm not as in love with the transparent screen.

The blue screen reminds me more of a flight simulator than the clear or white screens. However, to make the blue screen work, the jet would need to be a different color to stand out.

Agreed - make the aircraft black, and the screen a very pale blue. A WWII-type aircraft (straight wings) might work better as well, as a jet can just look like an arrow!

I took the jet because this jet in particular is used in the military pilot microbadge. So I don't agree with the propellor plane idea, nor do I think changing the jet's colors is a good idea. Re-using known 'building blocks', IMO, is a good idea

I know you're trying to show that these have a transparent background, but putting these in that quote box does you a dis-service. You should show them on the normal background color because that is the color against which they will be displayed, so that is the color against which they need to look good. We'll be able to tell whether the background is transparent.

That said, I think these have a little too much contrast. There are some really dark pixels and some really light pixels that scream out.

And btw, how long have you been saving all these designs?

Yeah, figured it would make it easier for people. So thanks for the better info.

Oh, years now. I've squirreled away a lot of gaming files since I can't remember when, but I only encountered the Geek this year—joined in November, in fact. And last night I finally sat down and spent all night putting in the work I'd been avoiding of getting microbadges ready for conceptual review.

One of the best games I've played in a long time. Sadly, the game was cloned on iPhone before the designer could get out his version, but I am optimistic that the original version will overtake the shoddy clone.

I don't think it's a stray dot, Ithink the bits of hand between it and the body have gone AWOL.

There is no way to create a poll in a geeklist. You'd have to create the poll in a forum post, then copy & paste the ID#

How have I not noticed this before? Odd. I guess I've never needed to do it until now.

3. After you have a finished design and want to discuss it a bit more, add an item to this GeekList with your badge in the body and a poll where users can decide if the badge is done or must have some tweaks.


Point 3 of the header should really be changed in that case.

Browsing the Video Game Microbadges I found this microbadge

mb - Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 fan.

No offense intended towards its designer, but I don't think it's particularly good.
I've played around with it a bit and came up with this idea. It's based on the games icon.

- Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 fan

Would you accept the latter?

When I checked my subscriptions and saw this page updated my first reaction was that I needed to remember to ask for a microbadge for these games. Lo and behold

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It works, but I just don't like it. I don't like the black background on it, but I'm not sure what you could actually do to change it.

As for the mouseover "OBJECTION!! Ace Attorney Fan" would be my pick. That way it covers the Miles Edgeworth game and that other one.

If you go with this image, I suggest a manual (or built-in tool) increase in sharpness between the red and white. Maybe more saturation and contrast, too.

Badges for the awesome Europa Universalis III game are missing. Below are the basic badges.

Europa Universalis III: Complete


Europa Universalis III


Europa Universalis III: Heir to the Throne


What do you guys think of these?




Caveat: I'm no designer, I took these directly from the EU3 forum. I know the policy prevents copyrighted images, but I'm not sure they are actually copyrighted - couldn't find anything on the EU3 forum to that effect.

Quote from the wiki page on Microbadge design:

Quote:

Note: If you upload a proposed microbadge to your User Gallery, to display it at the correct size with the ImageID tag, you must add the "original" keyword. For example:
[ImageID= 243589 original]

The third badge looks nice, with good alpha and clean borders. But the first two are jagged and not so good. Closer inspection shows that the third is a PNG while the other two are JPEG. Perhaps an upload problem (through the new uploader should not alter them...)?

You're perfectly right of course. I'll try to add transparency to those two.

However if any Europa Universalis fans who are also badge designers see this - I have a request. I think it would be cool to design a badge with some art from the game or the game box but I'm not up for that task.

It's an awesome game so I think it would be worth it.

Well, if you provide us with some examples of suitable images then we'll see what we can do

(I ask this because I don't know the game so I have no idea what would be a good source image to start from)

To all designers: let's stop using the geeklist, and just start using the forum thread: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/549833/video-game-microb....

From this point on, VGG microbadges will follow the same procedure as BGG microbages. You will need a link to the forum thread in order to get the badge approved.

Please post all concerns and such to that thread.
