Background Blitz: panoramic scenery (OPEN)

P A N O R A M I C S C E N E R Y

Do you feel like spicing up your game and adding some motion?
Why not try a panoramic shot?
You can even make it loopable for a full 360° effect.

This month, we want you to show us a room that's been designed with panning in head.
It can be anything from a ride in car to a first-person perspective view.
Any picture meant to be used with the panorama module is fine too.
And it doesn't have to be horizontal panning.

Deadline: April 23rd

Entries will be judged on the usual suspects:
- Concept: Is it a creative interpretation of the theme that also tells us something about the world in which it takes place.
- Playability: Does it have clear walkable areas, things to interact with, etc?
- Artistic Execution: How well was the chosen style executed? - What's the feeling of the place? - Does the image convey the wanted atmosphere?

Off to work!

I've never done an AGS challenge before, but I'll definitely try to enter! It's a fantastic idea!

Oh great...scrolling-backgrounds. It's like drawing multiple images for the price of one.

Well, at least I do have an idea that I really want to try and is completely different from the last scrolling background I did.

I had second thoughts about this topic for this very reason. But I went for it anyway because panoramic backgrounds are awesome.

And I know that you will not say the contrary.

This is my first AGS contest submission and a sneak peek at my first AGS game... I'm still getting the hang of Dee Dee Murray's art style, but I appreciate her work even more after trying to emulate it!

Nice use of the EGA palette.

Color me intrigued about that first game.

@Creamy: My entry is moving along. But I already know I'm probably going to need an extra week to finish it. I'll try to hit the deadline, but might require an extension.
