Crime Noir

The background must exemplify everything about crime Noir.
Hard shadows and big cities are mandatory.

NEVER! MWAHAHHAHAHA (damn, I got to halt down with the posting) No restrictions right? Just something to fit the theme, I presume

SookieSock · « **Reply #5 on:** 10 Jul 2010, 21:44 »

Yep. It just has to be dark moody and sort of in the right setting (no pretty colours).

Are there any other requirements such as size or aspect ratio?

SookieSock · « **Reply #7 on:** 10 Jul 2010, 23:50 »

It just has to be compatible with the AGS engine.

Jim: Mugsy?

Jim Reed · « **Reply #13 on:** 11 Jul 2010, 19:24 »

Played Mugsy 1 and 2, but no, this was actually Matts fault.

Here is my entry. I decided to go for a vertically scrolling background to get the full city effect. Hope you enjoy it

Jim Reed · « **Reply #15 on:** 16 Jul 2010, 10:53 »

Matt, you cheap rip off! =P

Hi - long time lurker but never posted, so this is my first effort. Because of that I'm not completely familiar with all the rules (I did try my best to brush up on them all

)

Used the larger res and tried to go for the noir-cartoon. Was gonna try for more detail but got lazy and filled the place up with mist

Sorry if the res is TOO big...

Crimson Wizard · « **Reply #17 on:** 20 Jul 2010, 16:48 »

Guess I'll pass this time, not my topic perhaps, nothing comes to mind.

Wow Sughly, that looks great, it's like the monkey island 3 style.

Wish I was that good.

Thanks! That's quite a compliment

I do regret the small bit of smoke against the left wall though. Looks like some weird alien... foetus... thing.

EDIT: by the way Tier, the detail in yours is amazing...
