Road to Release 11: Three Skins!

Road to Release 11: Three Skins to Choose From!
Many customers spend a LOT of time looking at their OOTP leagues. So, we try to make sure we give our customers some options regarding the screens they are staring at for hours. OOTP 11 will come with three different skins, and in today's Road to Release we're proud show off the new "OOTP Classic" skin. We'll show a few different screenshots in each different skin. (For those who are worried, the creation of additional skins doesn't take away from Markus' programming time - it's a different resource entirely. So, please don't be worried that other baseball features were excluded so that we could build additional skins!) There's a little something for everyone!

good, now there will be no debate on the dark/light backgrounds, not that it really matters, but still good.

Tycobbler · 04-06-2010, 03:05 PM

Love that wood finish, is that oak

Gavyl · 04-06-2010, 03:20 PM

The wooden skin is really cool!

Syd Thrift · 04-06-2010, 03:29 PM

Are those game generated logos?

Naw, they're from the ABA quick-start. Custom from the community.

I really like the dark screens. They are much easier on my light sensitive eyes.

AWESOME

at least the there a dark skin. Those white skins are so hard on the eyes. Can't stand to use them for too long. No ootp black skin though? i thought that was a good skin. But blue seems to be the easiest on the eyes for me.

C'mon, man. It's not "black skin", it's "African American skin". Get with it.

damientheomen3 · 04-06-2010, 07:07 PM

Steve, would you be willing to tell how many different personality texts there are in the file? I want to know if it will be annoying and repetitive, or cool and varied.

Eugene Church · 04-06-2010, 08:32 PM

Thanks for the three choices.

The white backgrounds are not good IMO. Too bright on the eyes.
Much prefer a dark background.

I like the OOTP Blue in OOTP9. My favorite so far.

I wish the baseball scenes in the background were optional.

It makes it hard to read the text.
