Ladies and gentlemen~ I present to you NeOsu Surge, or simply NeOsu 5. This skin's supposed to be released on the 2nd Anniversary of NeOsu series... Also, I can't wait for a year anymore... orz
Anyway, this skin is STILL designed with the resident color of the whole series:
#009aef BUT this time,
#f09800,
#dc00f0 and
#f00000 are added in this skin's color scheme. There's no Science in this but... let's just say I had enough stare of minimal designs from sites, clothes shops, books etc.
Due to UI change, and the "controversial font", Aller... I used it (Aller) for some numbers.
(eg. Countdown, hitcircle number and else) As I skin this one, I found out that every element in the new default is EASY to skin, except the scorebar (again) and the multi-layered Spinner.
Anyway, the animations I mentioned earlier are the Geki and Katsu (Katu) hitbursts. There are
90 FRAMES per burst... multiply it by 3 (since there's 300 Geki, 300 Katu and 100 Katu), you'll get 270 files...
TIMES 2 (since I skinned it for both HD ans SD) and you'll get a grand total of 540 files... for those 3 hitbursts. I do admit that animating them is
PAIN. This is also true with the Back and Skip buttons because both have 180 files for just a single string of animation.
As for the logo, I did changed it *that* much, following its actual theme. For the styling... it looks very flat. I used only 2 gradient variants. The first one, it looks like a plain color... but the closer you look at it, the more you can tell that it's a gradient. The second one is already obvious and easy to tell.
These are the fonts I used for the recent NeOsu:
Aller | M+ (M+1c) | Strasua | Gill Sans MT | Dicot (DicotMedium)Since NeOsu 5's here, I'll start to transfer the download links of the previous NeOsu skins (1 and 2) to MediaFire next month. If you saw something weird, feel free to post them here. Those posts will tell me that I screwed up something good and needs a quick fix.
