Kailis Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'd also like to say that using fireworks with photoshop is a great combination to make a GUI. For example, you can take a look at my GUI i'm working on. Its not the "OMG Super Awesome" type but its nice for a game.Anyway, on topic now. I'd have to say thats a great achieving tutorial. Really makes people want to make their own GUI's for their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I think that Paint.net is better. This has craploads of features no-one ever uses. If you want an addon for Paint.net then download one. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
