Title: SPLANET (Working Title)
Post by: Retro Wolf on Fri 31/07/2009 21:37:36
SPLANET

INTRO:
My first real AGS game: SPLANET (Working title), this game has been inspired by historical occurences that have caused different races to collide, and the results thereof. For example the colonisation of America, the Apartheid etc. I know that this is a contreversial subject, and will tread carefully, as I make no aim to offend. References are going to be as subtle as possible.

STORY:
A small green alien guy (must think of character name!) who crashes on a planet inhabited by several different races. The planet is home to Purples among others, that have lived in peace until the Blues came along and basically ruined life for everyone. Predictably Green Alien Guy has to find a way home and hopefully help the inhabitants of Splanet along the way.

ART STYLE:
I don't believe that I am particularly proficient at producing art, especially the backgrounds. I have tried to keep it as simple as possible, hopefully it is adequate.

SCREENSHOTS:

PROGRESS:
I have only been working on this for a few days, so art can easily improve.

There are no actions to cycle through (Look,walk,talk etc), a simple left click and right click (action performed dependent on what the mouse is floating over).


Any feedback would be appreciated, I won't be offended i assure you. Also if anyone has ideas on what the title should be, and perhaps even a name for the main character :)

simple doesn't need to be a bad thing. Some colours on the walls/floor and it will look a bit better. Try one colour for the horizontal walls, and a slightly darker for the vertical walls for example. The map/globe-background looks pretty nice if you ask me.

Yes i did do the vertical walls slightly darker, but perhaps not dark enough!

also in my opinion plain white for wall/floor/roof colour must be used with care, or else it can look "unfinished".
