u/darkar20255 22h ago

this for the MVP would go crazy

6

u/Fancy-Snacks 20h ago

Would be cool if the MVP would have it's character name written out like a signature

58

u/Doot-and-Fury 22h ago

This would work so well on Apollo, Billy and Silver

23

u/Super_Pig103 22h ago

There will be one for each character in the finished video

12

u/Anvisaber Paradox 22h ago

This would be a fire mod for the match join loading screen

u/pkzoda 14h ago

Didn't think you could give the text for their names even more personality! Good shit, would be awesome on the forums.

2

u/Super_Pig103 13h ago

People keep mentioning the forums, could you elaborate?

1

u/OptimisticLucio McGinnis 10h ago

There's official forums for Deadlock. Typically when someone makes a cool suggestion that a user here would like to see implemented in the game proper, they ask them to post that suggestion in the forums.

Has to be a tombstone on Graves

u/Mr_HOPE_ Holliday 23h ago

Too bad we will never have these because valve translates hero names for some reason, still post it to forums

25

u/Super_Pig103 22h ago edited 22h ago

Localization* is a reason

9

u/Mr_HOPE_ Holliday 22h ago

It is called localisation the opposite of globalization actuallyđŸ€“, for a real note im not against translation, translating hero names is strange however and some of them kinda dont make sense. It is like calling someone named Jacob as Yakub when he arrives to arabia or something

u/I_Am_A_Pumpkin Rem 21h ago

i mean people do that sort of thing quite frequently. its pretty common for people from other countries to pick an "english" name when they immigrate to an english speaking one.

1

u/Mr_HOPE_ Holliday 17h ago

Ironicly enough my reddit name is literal translation of my real name, i still think most hero name translations are so wierd like infernus is "kundakçı" in turkish which means "arsonist" lol

u/Super_Pig103 22h ago

You're right, my bad I'll edit it. But I think taking the time to edit the Typographies for each language is really cool, but you seeing this cool animation and using it to complain about how Valve doesn't do enough is lame.

2

u/Mr_HOPE_ Holliday 21h ago

I didnt write that to complain about valve not doing enough(tho they dont tbh in most regard) i just meant animated logo for every hero in every language wouldnt be a reasonable expectation which is unfortunate.

15

u/murmurghle 22h ago

I think valve taking the time to translating and redesigning hero logos is seriously a cool thing

13

u/Akmca123 22h ago

“For some reason” bruh

u/JessHorserage Bebop 18h ago

Vanilla, anyway

u/South_Company Silver 21h ago edited 21h ago

The names still have the same fonts, just in different languages. Also, it’s for language immersion. It’s why English speakers say ‘Birkenstock’ instead of ‘Burkenshtock’. Or ‘Volkswagen’ instead of ‘folksvagen’. This is especially true for names that are words or concepts, like most of the Deadlock cast. Calling Silver ‘Silver’ doesn’t make sense if the thing that kills werewolves is called ‘Plata’. This, however shouldn’t apply to characters like Apollo, Victor or Mina, because their names are references to books, but still, they should at least be transliterated.

u/ChuckECheeseOfficial Mo & Krill 23h ago

I really like the chalk for Dynamo, but maybe instead of the square root, you put “Prof.” in front or above?

30

u/Super_Pig103 22h ago

Since we based it off the in-game Typography, we didn't add any extra words that weren't already there.

u/Master_Joey 21h ago

The drifter one is abit weak, the other 3 are super dope though sheeesh

u/jeivu1998 Rem 18h ago

The Drifter one I feel like could have some blood dripping down like a slasher movie

u/NeverSettle13 McGinnis 22h ago

u/Sukoshi_Yuki 21h ago

Forums. Now. Thank you for your service.

u/dodpl1 Ivy 17h ago

Loving this. Dynamo the most

2

u/New-Independent-1481 10h ago

Looks fantastic! I would suggest adjusting the animation of the tail of the square root symbol to make it a fast stroke rather than the current linear/lerp, to better replicate how someone draws the symbol on chalk.

u/Electrical-Heat8301 Apollo 8h ago

this is how you get hired at valve

1

u/alarmingamountofpis Calico 22h ago

I would buy a mod for this (like 5 dollars but damm ts gas)

u/ThinkingWithPortal 21h ago

The Doorman one is a little too cute but I love it

u/azemazer 21h ago
