Host Screen V2 (now v3, and more)

[Minh Dang]

In April, I finished a redesigned Host Screen that I said that it could work on any format except Shuffle, that heavily based on US Clock design. Back then, I also promised to presenting more screenshot of this new UI. But I never did it since it didn't get many attention(At least, compared to the Classic Remastered v4.5), and only positive thing is retched want to use it in one of his project(I haven't saw it anyway). 

Now after 7 months, I re-visited that screen, and improved it again.
Graphic on both versions including texture came from graphics of a Millionaire Fans legend - bl5965. It's from his v7 PowerPoint 2010 presentation with 2007 Int' graphics that I only can see it on photo(That's one of the reason explained why I want to entered the Fan Games section before I even bother trying to applied).



New screen don't have too many changes, as I see, but it surely improved on each section spaces. Also game status boxes color changed, fonts are now synchronized together. I also changed the message box(having a indicator box for correct answer)

The v2 definitely look better, and I think AtA graph or PaF friend list can now fit the information box now.


This might be the last thing I uploaded this year, unless I even considered to uploaded another graphic pack. But since nothing is even close to complete, this should be the last thing I posted on the forum in 2023. 



Last words: 

SPOILER: Click to show

I think that many of us is grown up, so we are getting busier. So even if any of us is a die-hard Millionaire Fan, we don't really have time for these thing. This forum used to be very popular and active when I was very young, when I just came here as a frequent guest. And when I'm an active member, it's not really anymore. One day I might also ended my journey with Millionaire graphics, that I have done in the last 10 years, from paper to MS Paint, and now PowerPoint.



I feeling it, it's just...I'm getting more tired doing these that I would actually want to have a break from this. But what else can I do, if this is something I do the most in my free time?
Why am I writing this anyway? Maybe it's just me being tired sitting in front of my laptop. Sorry.

That's all. I'll see you guys again. Soon.
2023 is a great year for me in this place anyway.

Great job on this! And yes, we all feel the “getting older” piece, especially those of us who have been fans from the beginning. That’s why all creative contributions are appreciated!

Excellent graphical work as usual, well done!

I like the way you've designed the host screen with fitting everything in a logical and stylish arrangement.

And I feel just to say, in reference to the words you said in the text spoiler...

In terms of anything creative, I think the main thing is doing what you feel is motivating. You have talent in creating graphics, and if feeling like doing more in future, that sounds great. Otherwise if deciding to take a break, I've found sometimes that helps to re-energise and return with new motivation. Keep doing what you enjoy.

Either way, it's been cool to see all your Millionaire projects you've posted about this year.

UPDATE

As you can see, the title of the thread changed. I add it in to say it's not v2.0 anymore.

The design I used since November 2023 had been scraped. A new one, that heavily based on US Clock rule, despite it's still look like November design(v2) is in construction now.

Problem is: I have ended up create 2 designs for v3.




So, yeah, now I have to choose which one should I choose. You guys can vote for that, I'll make a vote. For retched's Supermix project, he will have privilege to choose one of these designs, that not affected to the voting result, as he want to use it as his alternate Host Screen layout.
I'll go with the most favorite one, and published it here(along with .ppt file to Fan Games Sharing Center)
