Chronomancer Icons

Nice I'll probably keep asteroth's version of temporal hounds, I'm pretty fond of it.

Here's some screenshots.

Not super happy with how my Gravity icons look in the screenshots.

Here's the three old icons plus a new one for Gravity Locus, in the traditional Gravity style.

Alright, Induced Phenomena written.

Cosmic Cycle
A sustain that's radius expands and contracts based on your Paradox. When it expands it unleashes temporal bolts. When it contracts it gives you a damage shield.

Polarity Shift
Shifts the Polarity on your Cosmic Cycle. If you move it into expansion mode you gain X% of a turn per enemy in the radius. If you move it into contraction mode enemies lose X% of a turn.

Delayed Blast
The bolts unleashed by your cosmic cycle create a radius 1 blast that deals physical damage at the start of your next turn. This blast can daze enemies.

Reverse Causality
When a creature enters your expanding cosmic cycle you heal X life. When a creature leaves your contracting cosmic cycle, one talent on cooldown has its cooldown reduced by X.

Here's my take (with alternatives for Delayed Blast and Reversed Causality)




Or, here would be a more abstract version with some of the icons currently used in Gravity.



Personally I like the first style better, but this tree is a good place for these.

Just what I was hoping to see this morning

Thanks!

Warp tree done.

Warp - Single target nuke, causes a random status effect.
Phase Shift - Active. For X turns the first damage you take that turn is reduced to 0 and you're teleported a short distance.
Warp Mastery - Passive. All your warp damage now has a chance to cause a random status effect.
Phase Blast - Sustain. When you teleport you deal warp damage in a small radius at the entrance and exit locations.

Warp


Since the Moebius triangle thingy isn't Redux anymore...

Gravity, the gritty edition:

Jotwebe, could I get a new Timeline Threading icon? Going to replace temporal clone with Braid Lifelines. Similar effect to braided blade but in a ball.

[jotwebe]

How 'bout this? Also, this could be a chain lightning effect as well...

[edge2054]

I like it Going to see how it looks with the rest.

I'll probably need four more.

Carbon Growth - Grows around you. Each charge you have increases your armor by X. When you get hit by a melee or ranged attack you lose one charge. At tl 5 you also gain X armor hardiness per charge.

Shard Storm - Activate to turn your Carbon Growth charges into a storm of shards around you. The shards inflict physical + bleed damage and increase your defense and ranged defense. The more charges go into the Shard Storm the more damage it deals and the bigger bonuses it provides.

Carbon Spikes - Activate to fire your carbon spikes. If you target yourself with this talent and have Shard Storm active, you fire one spike at each enemy in range per charge in your Shard Storm. If you target an enemy you fire one shard per charge of Carbon Growth at the target.

Sphere of Destruction - Turn your Shard Storm into a Sphere of Destruction that slowly moves across the screen. The sphere does more damage the more charges in the shard storm and has range equal to its current duration.

Some alts, and you can of course switch them around at will - the Shard Storm icon would be suitable for Sphere, and at least the second Sphere for Shard Storm, I think.

jotwebe, did you do the other icons in the base game? If so, I really like your design sense. If you didn't and are using them as a seed, damn you're good at integrating into an existing scheme.

There's an awesome collection of black and white icons at http://game-icons.net/ which tome has been using. So I go and pick what I think will fit, and use the method stinkstink explained to me a couple of days ago: make a couple of layers, set them to "multiply", and colors will overwrite white but not black parts. Make one or two shaders, sometimes a texture with a HSV noise. If I try to make changes at the icons themselves, that's more work than a whole tree combined and then some, and usually the result is sub-par and I just pick a different base.

So I guess your praise should go to the game-icons.net contributors, and I agree, those icons are pretty sweet. What I do is pretty easy, a couple of minutes work if everything goes all right - sometimes it takes longer because I try out different things, and I guess there's no upper limit to that.

Thanks for the info!

New Temporal Fugue:


New Rethread - Fate Threading is one of stinkstiefel's trees though, don't know if I've got the colors right.
