Backgrounds spotlight

A couple days ago, through the feedback form, RemiB sent us a template to help create Gamocracy backgrounds. It allows you to preview what a background will look like directly in Photoshop. It’s a good aiming tool. I made the same kind of template for PaintDOTnet, as it’s what I have, for us all visual vagrants.

Backgrounds are something I really enjoy about Gamocracy, while I didn’t even expect them to be there initially. The idea came from Morgan, our designer. Years ago, he joined a cult dedicated to visual neatness. Since then, he’s had to make everything he’s designed neat or his soul will burn in hell forever (resulting in never ending atrocious pain of course). When it comes to backgrounds as he designed them, the before/after test clearly shows the woawwwwwmeter reaching unusual heights.

I just added a background to Counter-Strike, see for yourself.
