Icon testing examples

REBMAKASH:

The spoiler pic is just an example we may us one of the others. Since expert mode contains stuff from rather easy to "undoable hard" i am not sure which image to take.

What about the "red pro", since you need to be at least pretty good in red (before finding the white), before digging into the extra stuff.

Image-size in the template put from 80 to 150. the "image =" below is another test, with just 80 px. but i am not sure if it shows properly and doing test templates extra takes time.

Depending on your input:

Use the same image for expert mode disclaimer and use in text at paragraphs and headlines aka implemented once big and also small?

If yes, i would totally reduces some symbols and extra stuff. Will talk about it in detail with you then.

The "old" difficulty meter has 4 -actually 5- steps.
Not sure how we want to use the easy med hard images exactly.

Lets see:

The Difficulty Meter is meant to be a scale showing up the minmum requirements for doing something. Like 'recommended to try when you can do at least 'xy. On the talk page to each Glitch-article or at the discord you can discuss, which difficulty should be chosen for that glitch. This will help us to find a common ground for difficulties.

"EASY" - Image (downsised to 32):

 *  Beginner: 
 * 1-5 journeys, knows how to get through the levels and how they look like.
 * At the end of this scale, they should know about the basics: Category:Gameplay Basics. Finds symbols, glyphs and trophy stuff without searching.
 * If you see -EASY ICON- it means that this trick/glitch is easy to accomplish. Being white might be helpful, but with some trying a red can also do it.
 * Explore levels, try to trick the WMs, find out where triggers of events are, learn about connection.

"MED"-Image:
Reminder/Note/Hint: (could be another icon)

It is not needed to learn the Expert Mode-things, no one can force you to do things you do not want to do (or do not want to learn) in Journey. Travel as you wish, if you are looking for some extra, the medium stuff is also suitable for you.


 *  Rookie: 
 * 5-10 Journeys, White Robe, starts with charge- and dive boosting and knows some OOB entrances, the Gameplay Basics, maybe Faceplant (FP). Finds symbols, glyphs and trophy stuff without searching, knows about how connecting/disconnecting works.
 * If you see -MED ICON- it means that this trick/glitch requires solid knowledge of the basics of the game.
 * Being able to identify Companions behavoir, finds and learns different routes to show players stuff, learns new things from companions etc.
 * "Medium" labelled things may run under "Expert Mode", simply because they are not standard or most basic gameplay anymore.

"HARD"-Image:

 *  Advanced-Journeyer: 
 * This is for the hardcore fans. They are learning or are already able to do some more boosting techniques, list of known CB-points is increasing. They know some OOBs or parts of it very well. They can go certain routes there, without losing companions or getting stuck, know how to leave the OOB again, where non-solid walls are etc.
 * If you see -HARD ICON- it means that this trick/glitch requires fancy flying, OOB, patience to try several times, eventually an advanced companion.
 * Descriptions of HARD things assume that the standard terms are known, basic stuff will be not explained additionally. Like how to get to a place in OOB --> "go to that place".
 * Maybe you will start experimenting with triggers, trying to trick the game, learning more about the The ID rule. Its fun to try-out instead of just following a describtion on a wiki or YT video. Maybe you will find some totally new stuff!
 * "Hard" just means its either difficult to accomplish or just requires much knowledge about the game / Expert Mode.

"PRO" Image:

 * This assumes that you either played the game for years or several 100 times. Most glitches and tricks are do-able or are at least known, manages most flying techniques almost perfectly, knows "everything" in OOB and also uncountable tricks and mini games in Journey.
 * Pro like Professional.
 * The wiki rather needs them, then they need the wiki, since they know so much about the game.
 * If you see -PRO ICON- it means that this trick/glitch is so advanced, that specifics might be unknown and information about it is still gathered (talk-pages).
 * PRO things are for those who actively try to find out how certain glitches work, experiment with known glitches and timings.
 * "PROs" are probably rather good at Faceplant Jump (FPJ)/Zen Jump onto certain things. They may know many glitches, but many experts enjoy tandemflying, mini-games and challenges as well. They have fun just dancing around or doing "silly things".
 * Some experts start speedrunning Journey, its said ~30 minutes for an any % run with using glitches should be doable for a Pro.
 * Two experts meet: another expert player that knows the common places for Zen Jumps, recognises when the companion wants to Beam Down or which glitch the companion is trying to do with them. Everything they do is by mutual understanding of whats going on.

Devices icons:

 * I am still not sure how to handle those best. since we want to express stuff like
 * this is deviceX only, needs the word "only" or a sign for it
 * this is avaible/seeable on deviceX, the standard thing.  Will be also used to give tips for a certain device. Like "PS3-player look here --> tip". Just to drag the attention of the reader to information for their device.
 * this is proven on deviceX, checkmark. Can we have a mini-icon (almost squared maybe) that has all devices with a checkmark to the right? I could add that to stuff were we are sure its proven to exist on that device, to keep track of things). Is it much work to create a bunch of those? seems a bit overkill, but imo it would be usefull. 4 devices and each gets 3 symbols. We may not need them all right now, but having them would make things easier later imo. --> can add the icon whenever i need and not have to go back another time to implement it then

Able and Pro:
We talked a bit about those.

In my mind i would use the difficulty-meter icons to indicate how hard or easy it is. And from medium on a red cloak should be able to flyer boost for example and then they can also fly almost anywhere.

I guess i want to express those icons are not needed or i just still cant get together where i would use them. Many things you are doable as red if you just plan or have a companion.

An able white whould be a medium player. A pro white an expert.

1 and 2 players:

 * 1 player: imo most things are doable alone. From top of my head i cant think of where i d use a 1 player icon. You got ideas?
 * 2 player: this icon indicates
 * that 2 players are needed
 * companion hint (different things happening on each side, how to do something with a companion)
 * disconnection warnings and such, all concerned when playing with a companion

Brainstorm about changes to the images
Medium, hard, easy

Imo just remove the line with the symbols and mkove the font to the middle of height, and/or make the font even a bit bigger

Devices icons:

see above, just many more of them :D

Players:

Maybe the 1 player not needed?

When i see all the icons, i wonder why the companions are running "backwards", other direction then the other travellers?

It would be also nice if you could do something where they face each other? I know the idea is from the tower images... but having 2 comps "taking care of each other" would transport the message of the icone better imo.

Sizes:

If we simplify the the icons a bit, i d say make them 150 so we can use them as "big" disclaimer image - see top of this page - but also as smaller icon within an article.

We can not make an image bigger then the original image it seems!

Testing before resizing: how does an icon look when made smaller.

See below the sizes. To me the 32 looks like a good size compared to my text size. But 48 shows the details better and is still not overwhelming, allthough it covers almost 3 lines.

Hard decisions. I dont want to have too many different formats, but for a headline i might use 48 and for just 2 lines of text-info about "ps3" i might go 32.

Testing area / showing different sizes
I would prefer if we can go with height instead of width. Fixed height for the icons.

The screenshot images and such need to be a certain width so they line up on the left side.

I guess the icons are all the same format anyways so if they all have same height it will be same width too?'''Image 16x16 pixel. Image type: basic.'''

64 pixel. too big for text :DI think the 91 pixel width image works best, but the 150 one isn't bad. The 75 pixel wide one is too small in my opinion. I tried 50 pixels wide and it looks bad.

Once I get a confirmation of the size I'll save the others.

Glitch something
,

Talking about a glitch for ps3 and pc and if an icon for "pc" there would be 2 different icons.
