My only quibble thus far is that I'd not have it say "all conducts enabled" as there are likely to be others added later   But specific combinations are ok.

Okay. I will work on that one .

I think that's it for now.

I did not add any conduct combinations for now, as I am not sure what combination would still be playable (or fun to do so). But you may of course add what you deem !!fun!! ...

I added some combinations with Ironman, though, which I think could get interesting .
What do you think?

[keith.lamothe]

All these sound good   One thing I just realized though: the existing ones have specific icons, right?  Not having an artist on call, I'll only be able to put in generic ones (possibly the ones from AIW).

Darn it. I wondered how you would do this and hoped you had something up you sleeve .
How about recoloring/scaling some of the original ones - just for consistency?

EDIT: Come to think of it the TLF icons might be a better fit?

Crowdsource it! Contest!

They appear to be 64x64 PNG files, with a color version and a grayscale version, yes?

That's correct.  Basically just a color version is all we'd need; I can desaturate them myself.

I would so some variants myself, but I have no time this week .
Can these be changed later? Or are we stuck with whatever was submitted first in case of Steam?

Would be a pity to use something generic since the bionic icons actually look pretty good...

[keith.lamothe]

I could upload newer icons for them later.

The main question to me is if seeing generic/semi-placeholder icons (either in-game or on steam, they're used both places) is going to be bothersome to people.

[ScrObot]

For Permadeath, you could use the Assassination mission icon, and for (Not So) Laid Back, perhaps a stopwatch?

It would be bothersome to me, most surely .
I would propose using either recolorings or mirrored versions of the following existing icons/assets:

Not sure yet about the rest...

Okay, here is my design for the first one of the new achievements (the ones related to winning a game with "It's Dangerous To Walk Alone" and a single Exo):


If you like the general design I could also add a colored border to indicate the difficulty, if you like:
 


EDIT: Ah, dammit. I just noticed that GIMP added the color border to the images instead of overwriting pixels. So I would have to recreate those using the proper 64 x 64 image size from slightly downscaled versions of the images without border above. But you get the general idea, I think ...

[keith.lamothe]

Looking good

And yea, gotta be careful how you do the bordering

On the borders themselves I like the idea but they're a bit overpowering.  Possibly draw an outer 2px border of dark gray, a 1px border of the difficulty color inside that, and a 1px or 2px border of dark gray inside that?

Cool !

Fair enough. I will give it a shot when doing the new versions. They striked as a little colorful myself ...
