c+c on street scene

[Sam.]

okay, i started off trying to make my game as realistic as pooss but then discovered i sucked at that. so i went for the as unrealistic as possible. i am rubbish at pixel shading so i didn't use it. i eventually ended up with this. i need some help cos it still doesn't look quite right yet...

I personally quite like zany skewed stuff but it seems you just went berzerk on that house in the middle (the pink one). Those windows are a little too much, if you ask me.

Try to make windows colors less blue (cos it looks like they're just holes) and these fat black outlines not black but darkened housel colors. Also make house colors less saturated. Your street looks rather empty, why not adding some trees/garbage cans/cars?

[Sam.]

what exactly do u mean by less saturated?

[Khaveen]

I'm explaining by an edit.



See? The houses' colors are less saturated, I've added a car and some green stuff(Ii mean a tree and some grass.), and made windows more 'glass'-ish.

[Sam.]

um, i can't actually see you're edit. all i see is a little red cross. is there a web address for it?

Second word: TUTORIALS
