Title: Background For Mags Game ; Comments please
Post by: asafii on Thu 18/12/2003 15:49:07
Hey

I ahve "tried" to make my first background for my Mags game it is the first of 5 backgrounds that i am making. Im not very good at art and you would know this if you read my other post so i really tried hard this thing as simple and easy as it looks took me about 2 hours to do and on the whole im pleased that i managed to get it to look like something but its farrrr from being good.

here is the pic : http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/room2.jpg

Please any help would be appreciated
Regards
Asaf

I know its only a mags game, but box rooms (rectangle , straight on perspective) do look "naff" after a while...

I have some rooms here that i did ages ago, http://www.amazing-ebooks.co.uk/images/temp/index.php?Qwd=.&Qif=temp2.gif&Qiv=name&Qis=M (http://www.amazing-ebooks.co.uk/images/temp/index.php?Qwd=.&Qif=temp2.gif&Qiv=name&Qis=M)

now im not saying its good, but i have altered the perspective a little so it doesnt look like a box , you also can see light coming from bulb and through window. if you look at the other images there you can see the progress of that image. but it was posted on the critics forum about colordepth optimisation not for how it looked.

Just remember the ceiling in hardly ever the same colour as the walls, maybe add a few details here and there like cracks in the walls n wallpaper peeling or something to give it a bit more depth, and definatly shade it even if its only a block of slightly dark colour on one side of the room , it all helps to make belive its a 3d location and not flat
