Another practice BG (New Style)

Darth Mandarb · Fri 09/04/2004 04:40:00

I couldn't resist ...

I added some details and some more shading.

There's more I could do, but didn't want to over due it.

Feel free to use or discard.

Um, you're making a game with space backgrounds, but with characters from the 1800's?

BOT: Like the BG, alot.

MrColossal · Fri 09/04/2004 07:55:57

if you read the thread he said that he's not making a game, they're for practice

but other than that I demand a game set in space with people from the 1800's!

Make it so!

I agree.

Farlander and I were chattin' about this. It would be very Dune'ish and cool.

I say go for it.

That's great Darth, thanx for that edit!

Quotedo the chairs pop out of those holes in the ground?

Yes they do.

Quoteif you read the thread he said that he's not making a game, they're for practice

Actually, the backgrounds are for MAGS entry, hope I'll find the time to finish it.

EDIT:
A new background, EGO's room:
x2:

I thought about drawing some clothes on the ground,and stuff.

What do you think?

Valzebnik · Fri 09/04/2004 15:41:04

Hey! The sprites gone bad

. Better fix it!

. Nice sprites!

I love the bed

Czar · Fri 09/04/2004 16:04:29

I love everything but some little things.
Lets say the color of those lava lamps (they are lava lamps, right?), if it has to be funky, i think you should use more "live" colors.
And I dont think those walls represent "funky" ( no hard feelings

). Maybe more lighter colors and spots

(Sixtiees).
But what do I know. 8)

Anyway, as a picture, I think its pretty good

Very good

I'll try to make a sneaker/shooter game in AGS, here's the main character:

c&c?

Phemar · Mon 26/04/2004 04:47:20

That's a cool little. On the up/down view his feet shouldn't stay the same as they go up and down, though.

Damien · Sun 02/05/2004 20:48:27

I made some tiles using m$paint and came up with this planometric (I think) background.

x2:

This is just a test background, i still haven't applied shading and the fence is screwed up. I also included a ninja sprite with the background to try out the walkbehinds and stuff.
The main problem IMO is that it looks empty.

Suggestions?
Crits?

Daz · Sun 02/05/2004 21:24:42

i think its looks cool, kind of a front on view of gta

only thing i can think of is if you put a stair way going up the side of the taller building maybe even a smashed up car outside of it.

other wise looks cool.

Chicky · Sun 02/05/2004 21:28:04

I agree with daz its kool, just needs the little details which make it more interesting.

you could make it into a shooter, like the mittens shooter. That would be kool.

It's not technically planometric; planometric indeed lacks vanishing points, but is drawn with 45 degrees x and y axis, showing three sides of a cube, including the top.
Apart from that, this thread is an exemplary critics lounge thread, displaying some really nice cooperation and lots of progress

Damien · Mon 03/05/2004 20:08:21

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Quoteonly thing i can think of is if you put a stair way going up the side of the taller building maybe even a smashed up car outside of it.

I will add that and a couple more details in the next edit.

It's going to be a shooter, but a sneaker/shooter/adventure game.

Yes, I googled the word 'planometric' and found the exact same thing you were talking about.

Here's the new version with shadows, oooh:

Why are that womans arms sprouting from her breasts?

QuoteWhy are that womans arms sprouting from her breasts?

You mean this one?

Damien · Fri 21/05/2004 20:20:00

x2:

I took an old walkcycle that didn't have any arm movement, and I tried to add it but as You can see it didn't work out.
I'm aware that his hands move too far left and right, but I can easily edit that.
The problem is that it looks to symetrical, so it looks like he's moving his both hands in the same direction, unless You look really close.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

PS. The colours got screwed up during the gif conversion.

Most people don't swing their arms out and around their body. He'd look better if his shoulders were a teensy bit wider, so his arms hung a little farther out by nature, then they could just swing casually, instead of looking contrived.
