hope this link works; you know me and computers!

Ah, those guys.

1. Their post was made in 2006 and has not been updated.
2. They never registered their clan within the community or on any list that I have seen.
3. They state themselves that it is just one of many games they have "set on their list".

I think it's safe to say we won't have much to worry about in terms of a naminig issue. 5 months from now when those guys remember about Darkfall, they can try to be "THE Furious Angels" and have people yell at them for trying to copy one of the "greatest clans in Darkfall". Haha.

New version of the recruitment audio, with b/g music. Leave your feedback!

So Adad came up with a good idea for what you see while listening to the recording. This is a rough rough storyboard of what it might look like:

It starts off with an animation of falling in an endless tunnel:



About midway through a light appears at the end of the tunnel



The light continues to grow as we get close to the end.



Finally you fall into the light and it engulfs the entire screen.



Once the white envelops you, the FA emblem appears as well as your two options

Just dabbled with it a bit tonight.  VERRRRRY early stages but you can check it out here:

Obviously, it will be much longer, include the audio, not be circles for the moving design, not be grey, better light effect etc etc, but suggestions other than that could be helpful.

nice, very nice.

It feels like the opening of a 007 movie, hah, pretty cool.

That was awesome.

But, I did feel that maybe tbone should come in as you're 'falling' and when he says something about 'you have a choice' thats when the FA logo and two options should appear. Just an idea

That is gonna be really nice when finished.  I like.

This may be just me, but our original FA logo is a little too modern and slick to fit into Darkfall.  That is just my opinion.  I'm not suggesting to change the logo, just to alter the design so that it fits into the era more accurately.

[Tbone]

If someone wants to attempt to roughen up the logo a bit, feel free to. Ya know, put it on a crest or make it seem like it is made from wood or just a little more beaten up. We can fool around with that.

I like that so far Adad! The trick is going to be making it last for the two minutes of the audio. I don't think the white should completely engulf the screen until after I'm done talking - or maybe as I say "become your own furious angel".

[Adad]

O I know the timing is way off, don't worry.  The light is going to come VERRRRYYYY slowly, larger and larger and then fill the screen in the end, and the tunnel will keep going until the end of the audio.  But as TBone said, I could use a cooler version of the logo, preferably in PNG format if someone wants to help out.

[Phienyx]

I'll give a shot at a variation on our logo.  I'm thinking a weathered iron look incorporated into a crest type of thing.  Does anyone have a good sized copy of the FA logo they can send to me?

Thanx

[Adad]

Ill send u what I have, but they are not crisp.  If you could do me a huge favor and take the Large black one with the transparent background (the one that's 4500 pixels wide) and make the edges crisp, I will love you forever.  I need it for the tunnel thing and I don't know how to do it.
