Ok, to clarify,.. I did not do any graphics for SE4, (other than some intro screens for mods and other 'post' release stuff.) I did ALL the graphics in DO, and made the UI and graphics with a distinct 'retro' look. (One reviewer said the graphics in DO were 'dated' and 'retro'. Quite a compliment when you consider that's what I made. Too bad the reviewer didn't know he gave me a compliment.) For SF Aaron asked if I could add some texture to the dashboard, that's all I did for SF. And now for SE5, well, I've done alot of graphics, all the UI stuff, event pics, finale pics, etc, etc, etc. I also have the honor of being the 'Lead Artist' for SE5. You can't be a lead artist if I'm the only artist so yes this time around Aaron has hired a team of artists, working on ship models, components, facilities and myself on the UI (working closely with Aaron)
All I can say is that SE5 is miles ahead of SE4 and is a giant leap for Aaron. I would not however compare this game to other product out there that has a development budget of millions of dollars. I will say, the gameplay in SE5 is second to none.
but enough ranting, you'll all be able to judge for yourself soon enough, after all time flies when we're having fun, and there is still lots of fun to be had with SE4 and SF.
Cheers!
