Screenshots wanted for DCSS website relaunch
Hi all,
You may know me as the server admin of CPO. I'm currently working on a visual refresh of the DCSS website.
Here is the current draft: https://crawl.project357.org/static/dcss-web/index.htm
It's 99% finished, but I need help -- I need screenshots! The live games are real, but it's not feasible to get live images. So just like the moon landing, we'll fake it. I want a collection of screenshots from different areas of the game that can be used for this homepage.
Here's an example of what I want:
As you can see, this is a pretty boring example. The character model is interesting and there are multiple enemy types, but there's zero terrain interest and 80% of tiles are identical. If you got this screenshot next to a wall that would help.
Images wanted:
* 30 images from D
* 10 images from Lair
* 1-3 images from timed portals (Sewer, Bailey, Trove, etc)
* 5 images from everywhere else
Image constraints:
* Online tiles only please! Maaaybe I'll show a few console images but that will come after we get enough tiles images.
* Show 11x7 tiles at 100% zoom (352x224px), with the player within 3 tiles of the center.
* Show a character of expected XL. No tornado in Dungeon, no orbrun, etc...
* You don't need to be THAT interesting. A mummy standing in d:1 next to a closer door and a damaged jackal pack is fascinating for a newbie.
PS, show interesting things! That might be cool (+tiny) vaults, spell aiming, low hp, loot, etc etc....
