Shortly after designing and implementing the animated ASCII title screen<\/a>, I figured we finally have enough material to put together a few Cogmind wallpapers. These are now available for many common resolutions over on the Cogmind website’s media page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s<\/a> a test of the first one while on a recent workcation in Japan.<\/p>\n

So far we have five different designs, the simplest being nothing more than the ASCII title logo itself. Probably the most interesting are those that combine the title with a set of ASCII weapon art. The weapons were chosen from among those I’ve been showing intermittently over the past six months (though I still<\/em> haven’t gotten around to doing any art showcases here on the blog--so many other things to write about…).<\/p>\n

\"columns_1440x900\"<\/a>

A variety of ASCII guns and cannons. Get the size you need from the media page<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

The weapons shown here are only a small portion of those you’ll find throughout the game.<\/p>\n

\"radial_1440x900\"<\/a>

Another version of ASCII weapon wallpaper. Get the size you need from the media page<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

I should eventually add a few that show more in-game content, but good ones would require a lot more work, and not enough of said content exists yet. For now there are two partially-implemented factory maps for those who desire a full screen of sci-fi green ASCII.<\/p>\n

\"factory10_1280x1024\"<\/a>

One of the factory wallpapers featuring a section of procedurally generated factory. Get the size you need from the media page<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

Feel free to drop any ideas for other wallpaper designs followers may be interested in.<\/p>\n

In other news, Cogmind was just honored with a spot among Rock, Paper, Shotgun’s Best PC Games of 2015 (roguelikes category)<\/a>. Unexpected at this stage, but very welcome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
