New Tutorial from PB: Creation of the icons

[foobar]

While we are waiting for Piranha Bytes and Deep Silver to reveal information about their new project, André Thiel from Piranha Bytes sweetens the time by giving us a new tutorial. In this article, he explains how he created the item and skill icons in the graphical user interface of RISEN. You can see for yourself that even such tiny elements require quite some work.

Yes, thanks foobar indeed. And thanks Andre, this is really great. It's interesting to see every little detail analyzed and pointed at.

On the other hand, with all the work you did, the teleportation runes are horrid, they are impossible to identify just by looking at them. Sometimes less is more, and the G2 runes are the perfect example. You should use that simple system once again, all the runes looking the same and having just a minimal symbol on them.

EDIT: foobar, you should take a look at that bot that posts news, he opened 4 threads for this news.

Teleportation runes could be better (give more meaningful names, name the different place's).

Generally though, the icons were very well made.
