R.I.P makes me kind of sad, but it's probably not a bad idea.

[DustyDrake]

If I were to make some "On hold" type logos, should it be a old style red phone jingling with "On Hold" or a lit stove burner labled "Backburner" (Might be more difficult due to the length of "Backburner")?

[JigxorAndy]

Now I want to see some dead projects just so I can see the cool icon!

As long as it's not your project it's fine by me.

'Paused' would be more game related.

Isn't "paused" just another word for "cancelled".
A button like that would be fairly easy to make though.

Yeah, but more people seem to say "This project's on hold" or like I did with Super Mafia Dudes "I put this project on the backburner" than they do "I paused development for this"

[Oddball]

I don't think that should be a factor. We have an RIP icon and I've never heard any one say "I've RIP'ed this project". By your logic it should read 'Cancelled', 'Dropped', or 'Binned'. But whatever, it doesn't bother me either way.

Poke dev repeatedly with a cattle prod and/or large amounts of cash to resume. >_>

I'm totally gonna use that RIP one for MADHOUSE when it's under development, even if it means the project is dead... I'll make it mean it' UNDEAD!!

My projects will permanently be at 90% done. That last 10% is IMPOSSIBLE to finish because there is always one more thing to do.

Just one-more-thing...  =)

Random questions about both the icon and really more devlog moderation policy...

I've got a game that'll be done and released on one platform, but then I'll still be working on it for the others.

AND, it is an episode based game, so I plan to keep devlogging while I work on future episodes after release.

So... should I mark my devlog as All Done! ... even though I'm going to keep working and devlogging?

Maybe I should just avoid the % based icons entirely? heh

[The Translocator]

Would it be worth uploaded an edit of this that I did because I'm very picky?

[mokesmoe]

Just post it.

[Zorg]

I hope it's okay if i suggest some changes?
























I thought it would be nice if the "Done!", "Paused", and "R.I.P." buttons would match the width of the progress bars and the animations would replace the percentages. I know, orange is a highlight color for the forum's navigation, but since paused was instinctively designed in yellow i thought traffic sign colors would look good. Also, all images are 80px x 25px with transparent background. I tried to make an animation of an hourglass (simply representing time) for the paused state but i'm not an experienced pixel artist and the result is not very convincing in my eyes. you may call it programmer art.

very good
green done is very cool
middle pause proposition is best
great idea of resizing to similar length
