Used the old Fireside Broadcast HUD for LEBRONSTANTINOPLE vs. Cat Posse, thoughts?
-
Probably something we should have done long ago. Maybe we can do it for Highlander casts too.
(Uncle dane in the first image does not come with the HUD it is a personal ornament!)
-
siyo I like it a lot, I think the other hud looked kind of bland and dated, like the i69 hud. I’d say this and the current rgl hud are easily the best
-
siyo definately this and if you can put pics of the competitors on the team screen or even just their cosmetics that’ll be cool but i know that’ll be a little much especially the cosmetics on still images lol.
-
Yea. The big thing that people wanted was a new HUD but using the old hud from antlers allows us to track bo3s better and fixes the huge issues that plagued past casts:
- People asking what map of the bo3 it is
- What maps there are for the bo3 tonight
- Player lineups
- A more professional esports looks
We’d been looking to move away from the TFTV assets we were given permission to use so this is a huge step forward in future casts
Pics of the competitors? I was actually thinking of grabbing Cat Posse’s photos from the localhost LAN and same for lebronstantinople and defaulting to the class avatar if they didn’t have an IRL photo
-
We used some map transitions for LEBRON vs. COVENANT tonight. Curious to see if you like it! Probably should turn game audio on after the full transition rather than during it though…

siyo Ya great game, the only other suggestion i would have is to have a more simple hud for logs, i had to squint to see some of the stats.
-
malarkeyman i think that’s just as simple as making logs dark mode no?

let me see if I can work on something because as far as I’m concerned we haven’t been able to build a logs parser into a graphic without having to use the tftv asset. if anything that might have to wait until next season :(.
This is actually one of the hugest pains for Fireside production (at least, when I’m producing). Been working with TFTV to see if I could use their assets in the meantime for the logs. It would be nicer imo and I agree with your opinion

Honestly, I would probably alter the rosters display. Since teams usually have the same composition, unlike some other esports that may pick/ban one of their 50 classes, it’s not really giving the viewer any information to have full class photos alongside their icons, and only limits the amount of information you can get at one time (wait, who was the other roamer? People like to be able to see both teams to directly compare and make prediction judgements too). The intro scene is a bit bland (especially with the audience’s ADHD), and would be better with a timer or some indication of when you could expect the stream to start (even if it’s an arbitrary timer set to the match time/the usual 15min past). Casters scene is fine if you don’t really have anything great to show, but it’d be cool to see whose voice is speaking through an indicator. Map set scene is good, but maybe experiment with how to subtly show which team picked each map or toggle the other map bans. Otherwise looks good to me

So like tftvs rosters stats or something else to show more information like the team wins and loses through the season?

Ooo this is some REALLY good feedback. Yea I need to put the timer on it again.
The map pick/ban part – I asked antlers how to do this and I’ll be able to implement this for a future game. Shouldn’t be a problem at all. Nyna, Shears, or Dr. Underscore told me the same thing a while back about how confusing it was to figure out who picked what.
I think probably the only one that I would not change is maybe the rosters graphics? While yes we can use the icons, I’m actually more firm on the belief that if you have a really solid color commentator who does their homework on the teams there will be attentiveness on how they describe and highlight players tit for tat. I find that some viewers, especially when watching some of the watch parties, are probably audio only up until the game actual starts (which makes me sad :). But a side-by-side roster comparison is important and we need to implement that graphic too. When I tried to pick the casters for our past two games I aimed for having a solid color (mustard, marmaloo) who could give that prior context.
